Public speaking is one of the scariest things for human beings. For some, it can be extremely debilitating and hinder their careers.
But this apprehension concerns a very large percentage of the population and crosses all categories of age, gender or socio-professional background. If you are in this case, you can therefore start by reassuring yourself: you are not alone!
The second good news is that it can be worked on! It is by practicing that you will learn to lower your stress level, to be more aware of what you have to do and to prepare yourself well.
To practice, I offer private lessons: a caring and demanding framework that will allow me to adapt to your specific needs. Once you have understood your fears and learned to overcome them, speaking (in public, in meetings) may become a great source of pleasure!

I have up to 3 years experience as a graphic designer and illustrator within a Book Publishing House. By being part of the bookmaking process from the very beginning, I shared my ideas in brainstorming meetings along with the account managers, the editorial team and the art director on the projects. I was able to grow my organizational and planning skills by creating designs for covers and interior layouts, by illustrating book covers and short stories, and by delivering print ready files for many projects at the same time. Besides licensed publishing and in-house projects, I am also involved in producing advertising materials for our projects, such as flyers, posters and banners for online and offline marketing and attention to details is my little name.
In my class you will learn to be creative and the means to express your creativity.

I am currently studying psychomotility, which is why I will invite young people to use their whole body in artistic practice through playful exercises. This helps to develop self-confidence, to address spatiality and temporality.

Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

PROGRAM
A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

During the classes you will learn about the art of building through drawing, painting, engraving and sculpting.

By drawing you will learn the effect of a monument according to its place, for drawing appears to be the best means of developing intelligence and judgment. You will also learn about orientation, light and shade. You will inscribe in your mind the methods used by the masters to produce the desired effect on a given place under particular conditions. You will analyse the fundamental principles, the rules of proportion, those gentle relationships between the parts and the whole, which the ancients gave to the orders in ancient buildings, to those of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

To communicate your thoughts clearly, to record your observations and to find the reason for all things, you will draw, paint and engrave from nature. Drawing is a language, a means of expression and communication, an art that complements and is indispensable to all professions, such as speaking and writing.

COURSE CONTENT

Subjects: Architecture, urban planning, nature, history of architecture, history of cities, building techniques, natural materials, sacred geometry, decoration, ornamentation and many more!

Techniques: Creation of natural paints (watercolour and gouache - access to a kitchen), sketching, perspective, sacred geometry, measured drawing, watercolour, gouache, charcoal and engraving on stoneware or wood.

Note: ALL SUPPLIES & TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TEN (10) LESSONS — All canvas, stretcher-bars, panels, paper, brushes, pens, pencils, ink, charcoal, paints, varnish, etc. The finished artworks are, of course, your to keep.

There are many ways to create a so-called "realistic" oil painting. And there are many visual tools that an artist can use to make a beautiful visual statement. Whether using thick impastos, thin washes of solvent-based color, bodied glazes, or mixed media elements, each technique can yield an engaging visual experience. Painting is, after all, a means of communication.

In this course, we will begin with the basic ideas and techniques for drawing and painting forms as the eye sees them. You will learn every stage for producing aesthetically pleasing and technically strong oil paintings. We will discuss concepts and ideas for painting, developing different studies, stretching the canvas, line drawing, tonal lay-in, dead-coloring (or color block-in), and modeling the forms (1st painting, 2nd painting, and finishing). We will also cover the techniques of alla prima or premier coup (direct painting in one pass). We will also study the formal methods of composition, different kinds of perspectives, paint surface and paint quality (facture), and proportions. And, of course, we will discuss the use of varnishes, including the final picture varnish.

Stay calm and confident if some of these terms are new to you. We will adapt the lessons for each artist. I will help you to learn, understand, and perform each step of the painting process.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced painter: there is something for you!

Steeped in a synthesis of age-old wisdom and contemporary insights, this course is more than just a series of lessons—it's a transformative experience. I've always believed in the power of the mind, and over the course of my teaching journey, I've fine-tuned this program, drawing from the teachings of renowned authors and adding practical applications.

Each week is designed to challenge your thought processes and widen your intellectual horizons. We delve deep into principles elucidated in well-regarded manuals, picking apart their lessons, and understanding their relevance in today's fast-paced world. But we don’t stop there. Through rigorous workshops, interactive discussions, and real-world scenarios, students get to apply these principles, turning theory into actionable strategies.

The beauty of this course is its adaptability. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or someone looking to enhance personal growth, the skills acquired here will prove invaluable. By the end of our sessions, you won’t just think differently—you’ll view the world through a more analytical, discerning lens.

Some examples of recent classes:
1. Logical Fallacies & Cognitive Biases:
Exploring common pitfalls in reasoning, from straw man arguments to confirmation bias.

2. Exploring multi-faceted problems with no clear answers:
Techniques to navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions.

3. Media Literacy & Information Consumption:
Understanding the age of information overload.

4. Real-world Application & Case Studies:
Analyzing contemporary issues, from political debates to corporate decisions, through the lens of critical thought.
Working in teams to present and defend solutions to complex problems.

Sound interesting?

See you in class,
-Dante

I offer drawing and comics lessons for beginners. With extensive experience in drawing workshops for children, my classes offer the creation of characters, as well as their staging in a comic strip, which will allow us to learn the fundamentals together: sketches, storyboard, inking, color and story. At the end of the course, the comic strip can also be printed in a booklet so that the student has a concrete fruit of his work.

A little word about me:

My name is Romane, I am 26 years old and am a professional comic book author. I studied 5 years at the fine arts school in Angoulême, where I was able to perfect my mastery of drawing and storytelling. I have since participated in numerous comic book festivals, and have had the chance to publish several of them.

Whether you're a fan of manga, French-Belgian comics, or American comics, these are three styles that I like as much as each other, and can show you the ropes :)
