With fifteen years of experience in teaching and researching rhetoric, I offer tailored training programs for all types of audiences. Studying rhetoric means developing the ability to first identify and then evaluate the many different choices we face when crafting a persuasive message. Which word fits best in a given situation? What image evokes the right emotions in the audience?
Becoming an effective and impactful communicator is, above all, about preparing in the right way. The methods of rhetoric help us understand and approach every communication situation systematically. Moreover, rhetoric is not just the art of speaking. It helps us consider how to shape all kinds of messages, for all kinds of recipients.
I offer a variety of formats, tailored to your specific needs:
- Full-day, half-day, and multi-day courses for small and large groups
- Individual rhetoric coaching
- Lectures and workshops
Regardless of your current experience level, there is always something new to learn from rhetoric’s rich, thousands-year history—a knowledge that can help you become a more skilled and confident communicator.
Examples of course topics include:
- Rhetoric as the art of speaking
- Rhetorical argumentation and modes of persuasion
- The theory of persuasion
- Visual rhetoric
