ELOCUTION FOR PROFESSIONALS

Course Outline

Unclear speech in the workplace undermines work productivity often leading to misunderstanding and miscommunication: causing speakers to become self-conscious.

 

This practical stand-alone coaching course offers an effective toolkit of speech techniques designed to improve speech clarity, distinction, and impact in your spoken delivery in work, and in life.

 

Drawn from speech training practices used by actors, presenters, and politicians to increase their speech clarity and personal impact, the speech toolkit targets the most common speech deficiencies to improve all-round speech clarity.

 

This course is for you if you answer ‘Yes’ to one of the questions below:

 

  1. Do you receive feedback that your speech is unclear?
  2. Do you have problems pronouncing consonants TH, R or final L?
  3. Do you stumble over complex words such as PRONUNCIATION, PARTICULARLY, WORLD?
  4. Does concern about your lack of speech clarity mean you avoid developing your speech vocabulary?
  5. Does speaking too quickly negatively affect your speech distinction?
  6. Do nerves impact the accuracy of your speech when speaking in meetings, presentations, and interview?

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • "I have been working with Anne for several years now and have been on both her voice coaching and leadership training courses. When I first met Anne, I struggled with my voice and came across as shy. However, through her voice coaching, I was able to become more assertive and improve my projection. Anne has proven to be a tremendous coach and mentor for me over the years. Her leadership coaching principles have been highly beneficial in work and personal development, I have been able to apply them to all areas of my life. Her leadership coaching has built the fundamental pillars I needed, and I feel a lot stronger for this. Anne is an excellent listener, kind and warm-hearted. I strongly recommend both coaching programs with Anne.
