2020 and beyond

2020 is now well upon us and it is time perhaps to consider what steps are you taking in your personal communication. Do you need to upskill by learning a new language, working on your voice or perhaps some other aspect of your personal development.

As an Executive Voice Coach based in Vienna, Austria, I help people all over the world improve their spoken communication skills. Whether at the FH Wien der WKW, Die Schule des Sprechens or at MHC Business Language training, I see similar patterns across many people. They fear speaking infront of other for a variety of reasons. To me, these include:

• They don't know how to breathe properly.
• They are not aware of how they stand and sit and use their hands during their presentations.
• They are not paying attention to the audience while giving their presentations, looking for clues as to how the speech or presentation is going. 
• They have taken a written approach to their speech rather than a spoken approach. 
• They assume more detail is better than less.
• They want to fill their entire speech with sound rather than taking questions, pausing and slowing down and their speech patterns and
• They do not understand how capable their voices are.

These are some of the many things I help people with in 2020 and I want to continue to do so. Book a virtual catchup with me and let's talk about your personal development for 2020, so that in the future you can be better prepared and in a position to help yourself get your message across.
