SENIOR EXPERT in Body Language, Voice, and Public Speaking Training

For more than 25 years, I have worked as an external trainer for companies in industry
and commerce, supporting a
wide variety of people in their learning through seminars and executive coaching sessions. My work is grounded in my
deep expertise and experience as a communication trainer, director, and
acting instructor. A keen eye combined with a keen sense for
people and situations is a core competency as a trainer. This is complemented
by the precise description of what is observed in the feedback.
Building on this, various
techniques and methods can be developed and tested through targeted prompts and exercises, which can be practically
applied in everyday professional life.
