Does Success Coaching offer speech lessons or diction?
Our renowned voice coach helps you overcome regional accents and other speech problems. However, our specialisation goes a step further than that. We endeavour to restore and reinforce your natural communication skills.
People often lose their spontaneity under stress. They can often come across as constricted during an interview or presentation, in front of the camera or before an audience. Success Coaching teaches you techniques to reverse that trend. And to get 100% out of every situation.
Can anyone register for Success Coaching’s services?
We all manage to express ourselves in the course of daily life. However, a lot of people lose that capacity under pressure. When making a sale, negotiating, giving a presentation, applying for a job, delivering a speech, etc.
Success Coaching is convinced it can help anyone with a minimum of skills. As long as he/she is prepared to put the energy, effort and time into a training course in order to improve those skills. Progress varies from reasonable to spectacular. It all depends on the disposition, input and speed of learning.
Where does Success Coaching get its expertise?
Most training courses are run by Jo De Poorter. As a presenter and journalist, he has been active in the Belgian and Dutch media since 1989. But he also knows what it’s like to stand on the other side of the microphone and camera, as a ‘victim’ of interviews and press inquiries. Jo De Poorter gives frequent lectures and runs numerous seminars. Public speaking in practice, in other words. He studied Dutch philology, psychology (elective) and theoretical performance analysis at the University of Ghent.
Since 2002 he has also worked as a professional communication trainer and coach. With relevant qualifications coupled with years of experience, Jo De Poorter can transfer his knowledge and skills like no other.
Coaching consists primarily of exercises in which the trainer corrects, guides and stimulates. So before long you can conduct and evaluate your own communication independently.
Who are Success Coaching’s clients?
There are a number of corporate executives amongst our clients. In addition, we assist most of the large Belgian broadcasters and several in the Netherlands. We have also worked for members of the Flemish and Federal government. Ministers, mayors and party chairpersons have all made recourse to our expertise. But our list of references also includes presenters, journalists and VJs.
