A Unique Approach
Presentation and Speaking
The goal is to facilitate the emergence of an authentic and unique personal style - not to apply a one-size-fits-all system, but rather bring out what is best in the individual.
Silverman Speech Consulting combines skills and techniques developed over years of training and professional experience in the performing arts as well as with corporate presentations and public speaking. A video record is often utilized as an effective tool for assessing a baseline, identifying challenges as well as a clear method of measuring progress.
The result is a method that allows individual strengths to emerge while at the same time addressing and diminishing personal obstacles to successful self-presentation.
Accent Reduction
The method used to diminish foreign accents is similar to cultivating them for the stage or screen. Use and knowledge of the phonetic alphabet and the physiology and mechanics of sound production come together in the form of interactive work, exercises and audio materials to produce a new awareness and change in habits.
Each client receives customized “homework” to complement the work done in session. Integrated into this process is the introduction and reinforcement of general presentation skills to help the individual successfully improve communication at work and elsewhere.
Communication Style Development
Understanding how we currently communicate is the first step to making positive change. Through detailed observation and constructive feedback, communication behavior may be greatly improved to better reflect the client's intentions and increase the probability of a positive outcome.
Each client receives a communication style assessment to help determine the image and intentions currently being presented. Then the focus is shifted to examine the goals of good communication and the skills and techniques that must be developed and incorporated to reach these goals. This new insight and behavior will lead to greater confidence and success.
