NLP Podcast 161: The Power of the Spoken Word

“I want to give everyone a voice.”, says Andreas Tronnier.

With the speech 'I have a dream,' Martin Luther King reached millions of people on August 28, 1963. It would likely have been far fewer if he had started with a typical cliché, such as: 'Good evening, my name is Martin, and I would like to give a speech today.'

Surely you have had to listen to some of these standard speeches and noticed how the audience's attention disappears after just a few seconds. Andreas Tronnier is a trained public administration specialist and quickly realizes in his profession that it is not the people in companies who are the cause of problems, but their communication. As an NLP trainer in Hanover, he finds his passion in the connection between NLP and successful communication. With Neuro-Rhetorical Programming (NRP), he has been helping his clients for over 20 years to present their concerns confidently, competently, and well-prepared. He knows how hypnotic language patterns and stylistic devices can capture attention and what our body language can achieve even before the first spoken word. Stephan Landsiedel also asked himself at the beginning of his coaching career how he could best convey his message to his audience.

He quickly learned: “You are not born a speaker; you make yourself a speaker. With this mindset, you can speak and learn to communicate your topic – as a leader, as an employee, but also as a mother at a parents' evening.” Most people prefer to stay seated in such situations rather than stand up and express their views?
