The online rhetoric workshop: Present yourself confidently - argue convincingly - arrive confidently Matthias Dahms, 2025
A strong appearance often determines whether your message is heard - and how it comes across. Whether at work, in a voluntary capacity or in your private life: those who speak confidently, argue clearly and come across as authentic will be heard, convince others and be remembered positively. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to increase your impact, structure your arguments and respond confidently to objections. You will experience how body language, voice and expression reinforce your message - and how you can remain calm and convincing even in difficult conversational situations.
What you can expect:
? Speak clearly - come across clearly: how to use your voice, language and body language effectively
? Strengthen your argumentation: Convince with structure, logic and presence
? Staying confident: Being quick-witted and composed in challenging moments
? Practical exercises: Role plays, feedback and specific tips for your personal impact

? The basics of persuasive rhetoric
? Structured argumentation - from the introduction to a strong conclusion
? Recognizing and improving your own impact
? Responding to objections and criticism with a quick wit
? Body language, voice and expression in harmony
