Ellen Hermens´ philosophy
...because being yourself is best! - Be truly authentic!
Ellen Hermens considers a speaker´s authenticity as most important. She says:
"Every now and then I hear from a customer that they had been patronized or have suffered a snub in a presentation skills seminar. They had been angry and tried to take anything from the seminar although the were frustrated.
I take care that my clients are treated worthily - not only by me but also among each other. I phrase my feedback in a way which everybody can accept. Instead of negative criticism I offer constructive tips for improvement.
I foster strengths as I see the Pareto´s law effective in this area too. When you work with 80% on your weaknesses you will only achieve mediocre results.
But when you invest 80% of your energy on your strengths where you already are extraordinary then think what you can achieve.
Spend the rest of 20% of your energy to look in which situations your "weaknesses" are strengths.
I want that attendants of my rhetoric seminars and coachings come out with more strength and self-confidence - not only because they are better speakers.
...because being yourself is best! - Be truly authentic!
