Out of our box
Do you also need an extra refreshing approach to shake things up?
These are examples of parts that we can add to a training. They can also be booked separately.
1.
Tai Chi
Better speaking through tai chi breathing and movement exercises? Certainly! When practicing tai chi, you focus fully on performing slow and smooth movements to the rhythm of your breath. This combination has a stress-reducing effect on the body and mind. Speaking from such a relaxed state of mind makes a world of difference.
2.
Exploring with Character Masks
Training with character masks such as commedia dell’arte, you can learn to understand nonverbal behavior in an easy and humorous way. During a training course, we develop short scenes that are based on the situations and experience of the participants. You will learn skills such as improvising, stepping out of your comfort zone and daring to be yourself.
3.
Pubquiz teambuilding
An old-fashioned game evening in a new form. Under the guidance of a quizmaster from Speaking Arts International, colleagues work together in a team. They answer questions about the company where they work and the services and products they deal with on a daily basis.
Cases
Speaking Arts International was hired to enliven the EMEA conference of sales employees. During the two-day conference, Bill Monsour spoke to the participants. The focus was on emphasizing the joint mission and strengthening the team spirit. In addition, Bill assisted the other speakers at the conference and gave them tips and advice to get the most out of their presentation.

A 2-day presentation course with character masksTwenty Fortis professionals (now ABN AMRO) immersed themselves for two days in the world of negotiation strategies. In a training given in American English, they became acquainted with five different styles of negotiation. They learned to recognize their own style and experimented with styles that were less comfortable for them. Theory was linked to role play, in which participants learned to successfully negotiate individually as well as in a team.

Bill acted as an inspirational speaker at the European conference for mystery shopping professionals that I organized in Istanbul.
