Non-verbal communication – communicating authenticity
If you speak to anyone who has had the privilege of meeting a great leader, phrases such as “he has such a presence and charisma” or “she really is authentic” or he/she “really cares about people” are bound to emerge. It is expected that the true leader will not only “do or say the right... […]
Stress Management – scientific renewal remedy
A global trend has emerged in which corporate leaders are exiting their positions before the end of their term. However to those involved in coaching leaders, this comes as no surprise.

The rainmaker
Everyone is a salesperson. We have all sold something or ourselves at least once in our lives. For instance, when we applied for that job, position or promotion; when we wanted to start the relationship with another person; when we wanted to convince others to buy our idea or concept. All this is sales. There... […]
Psycho-linguistics – “saying what you mean to get what you want”
LANGUAGE – beyond words “I’ll see you just now…” When you hear this, does “just now” imply five minutes or two hours? Notions such as these could be interpreted differently by listeners and ultimately cause our expressions not to match intentions. In active communication we use words beyond their lexical meaning. The underlying intention or... […]
The voice and speech mechanism

The ability to produce sound and create speech emerges... […]
A Different Approach To Managing Conflict
When we think of managing conflict, our attention immediately turns to the different conflict styles, acquiring assertive expression, or improving one’s interpersonal skills such as heightening the art of diplomacy or persuasion.

How to Write Great Speeches
What makes a speech interesting and memorable? The speaker’s delivery style plays a significant role in drawing the audience in and generating impact. However, if we look at the speech itself the “written text”, this becomes an interesting question. A written text is a “literacy” exercise yet a speech is verbal and therefore it would... […]
How to make great social speeches
1. INTRODUCING A SPEAKER Be brief. Never more than two minutes, except on very formal occasions. Avoid Stale and stilted phrases i.e. “It is indeed a pleasure”, “a man who needs no introduction’, “we are gathered here tonight”. Avoid an over-florid prediction of the treat that awaits the audience. Avoid exaggerating your speaker’s qualifications or... […]
