Rhetorik-Akademie Tübingen

First of all, the learning atmosphere plays an important role for me: If I feel comfortable, then I have the best conditions for optimal learning, and this is simply fantastic at the Rhetoric Academy: Carolina and Lorenz welcomed me with full appreciation and at eye level. This was a common thread throughout the entire course day. The other participants were also enthusiastic, and so we learned together and yet individually! From a methodological-didactic point of view, I was thrilled by the opportunity to directly individualize and try out everything I learned. The given feedback strengthened me. So I got some reflected about my blind spot. In the evening I went home with my treasure chest of ideas. Anytime again! Merci.

So far I have felt very distant from rhetoric: rhetoric is form, concerned with external effect, a means to the end of communication, isn't it? Before I think about form, don't I have to create content first? Before I can communicate to the point, don't I first have to create clarity within myself? No, that's the fallacy. Rhetoric is not limited to external impact, "la cerise sur le gâteau." It is a path to inner growth. For am I not my first listener, my most important interlocutor?
This is what Lorenz and Carolina really accomplish, filling one's toolbox with tools for communicating , talking and thinking. Above all, they create space to try them out.
A big thank you to the Rhetorik-Akademie Tübingen, I feel inspired to transform and ready for change.

The highlight of the training was certainly the three-day module "Speaker on Stage". Although I was very afraid of this performance at the beginning, it was the best experience of all components of the rhetoric training. But also the other modules are very good. I started with the power day to get to know the trainers. This day gives a good insight into the interactive teaching style of the trainers. Very nice is the "You game" at the beginning, which practices body language, eye contact and gestures or the exercise "Endure applause". In the Rhetoric Basics module, we really get down to the nitty-gritty - for example, giving a speech about yourself or a spontaneous speech from a standing position. The module "Speeches and Presentations" practices different forms of speeches, e.g. according to the classical ancient speech structure or also a 1-minute speech with the help of a speaker's clock or also the "Hero's Journey". Above all, I took away the rule "AAAAA" - that means "Start differently than everyone else". The modules "Arguing and Negotiating" and "Moderation and Conversation" were also very helpful for me. I was able to apply both of these shortly afterwards in practice with my students and in a meeting of the departmental council. I can therefore definitely recommend the training at the Rhetoric Academy.

The quality of the rhetoric training and the pedagogical approach go far beyond an 0815 rhetoric seminar. The methods and models used expand perception and are 100% compatible with practice. The rhetoric training is an immense benefit for everyone who wants to work on his communication and thus also on his personality.

The training was super fun ... a roller coaster ride with a lot of highs. The instructors helped me bring out the best in me.

Clear recommendation in every respect! Competent coach, tailored content and pleasant atmosphere.

The trainers at the Rhetorik-Akademie impart well-founded knowledge in a short period of time with the opportunity to put what you have learned directly into practice and to receive appreciative feedback. I particularly liked the positive and open atmosphere, which makes it easy to move out of one's own comfort zone.

I took part in the seminar "Brings to the point" and was positively surprised at how quickly I was able to put what I had learned into practice. The valuable feedback from the participants helped me personally and helped me to better implement the techniques. Hot recommendation!

A very practice-oriented training with many exercises and a high learning success. There was also a lot of fun on top.

One of the best decisions I ever made to do this rhetoric training at the Rhetorik-Akademie. Even for someone who gives speeches every day for a living, there was a lot that was new and useful. The contagious enthusiasm, the top-professional organization and the very personal support let me reach a new level and made it incredibly fun. Absolute recommendation!

The Rhetoric Academy has made me more successful personally and in business

Focus 90/10 - if you are looking for 90% practice in the form of your own experience and collegial reflection in the group, you will find it here! 10% theory (with all love for theory!) is sufficient for this. Practice, practice, practice - is the best way to reflect, to improve - to get into action! There is nothing good, unless you do it. This is what the Rhetorik Akademie Tübingen stands for. That's why I like to come back again and again and can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Nice, young and very competent team with great content! The power day and the seminars were really worth it.

A very competent team of trainers, a top mix of theory and practice and above all: an ingenious opportunity to try things out in a protected space in front of a group.

The rhetoric training was an incredibly great experience. The great group, the friendly team and the super atmosphere create a great learning environment. What I learned in the training is enormous and I need the content every day - both professionally and privately. In retrospect, I should have done the rhetoric training years earlier.

In a recent public webinar, I was asked by a presenter, "Saw you were at Speakers on Stage in Tübingen at the Rhetorik Akademie - please let me know the next time you go, would love to come!" Says it all, doesn't it? :-)
