Strong debating skills aren’t just for politicians or public figures, they’re a critical asset for teams and organizations. Whether it’s presenting ideas in a meeting, negotiating with clients, or influencing decisions at the boardroom table, the ability to argue persuasively can make the difference between being heard and being overlooked.
Our Powerful Debating training teaches your team how to present arguments with clarity, confidence, and impact. Participants learn to structure compelling messages, respond effectively to tough questions, and navigate challenging discussions with ease.
Persuasion isn’t just about facts and logic, it’s about understanding the dynamics of a conversation, connecting with your audience, and communicating strategically. In this training, your team will develop the mindset and skills of top debaters, giving them the confidence to influence outcomes and read the room like a pro.
Participants will acquire practical tools and techniques to communicate persuasively in any professional context:
Empower your team to communicate with authority and influence, turning every meeting, discussion, or negotiation into an opportunity to be persuasive, strategic, and impactful.
During this conversation, we can discuss your wishes, challenges, personal goals, and other questions to help you achieve your goals.
Use the calendar to select a date and time that suits you. After submitting your request, you’ll automatically receive a confirmation and a link for our conversation.
Our training is interactive, practical, and lighthearted. Theory and practice alternate rapidly. Because we work in small groups, there’s plenty of attention paid to the learning goals and situations of you and your fellow participants. Our approach is non-standard: you’ll receive personalized tips, tools, and techniques to help you enhance your persuasiveness.
The “Powerful Debating” training is designed for professionals who want to increase their impact by presenting their opinions, visions, or ideas convincingly. This training is perfect for you if you find that your arguments sometimes don’t have the desired effect, or if you want to learn how to debate and present more effectively. We assume you already have some communication skills but are looking for techniques to further refine your communication style.
