Barbara was recommended to me to get advice on how to go further with a business idea of a family member. The sessions with her were fantastic. The advice she gave us was very professional. We started with defining, what we actually wanted to do (this could be different to what you thought you wanted :-)) and then went step by step into how to actually transform the idea into specific actions. Barbara always has a smile on her face and you can tell that she loves what she is doing. And she is doing it very well!

Barbara hat mich in ihrem Training auf einen grösseren Event vorbereitet, und ich bin begeistert von den Ergebnissen! Trotz der kurzen Zeit hat sie mir mit gezielten, effektiven Tipps geholfen, die ich sofort umsetzen konnte. Mit ihrer sympathischen und motivierenden Art hat sie nicht nur meine Präsentation auf ein neues Level gehoben, sondern mir auch den Mut gegeben, aus meiner Komfortzone herauszutreten. Dank Barbara konnte ich selbstbewusst und überzeugend auftreten. Ich kann sie jedem empfehlen, der sich professionell und authentisch auf Präsentationen vorbereiten möchte!

Das dachte ich auch, als ich an einer Fachtagung gemeinsam mit zwei Kolleginnen einen Vortrag halten durfte. Dank Barbaras professionellen Unterstützung standen wir innerhalb kürzester Zeit souverän auf der Bühne und präsentierten uns erfolgreich. Ich habe an Selbstbewusstsein gewonnen und gehe heute entspannter in Verhandlungen. Ich bin begeistert von ihrem Fachwissen und ihrer humorvollen, charmanten Art – immer fokussiert auf das Ziel. Ich empfehle Barbara Hesse gerne weiter und werde auch in Zukunft auf ihre Unterstützung zurückgreifen. Petra Sevinç2024-09-22Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Barbara Hesse hat mir in kürzester Zeit dabei geholfen, die Zusammenarbeit als freiberufliche Dolmetscherin mit Behörden auf das nächste Level zu bringen. Sie hat mit mir daran gearbeitet, wie ich meine Dienstleistungen – vor allem in der intensiven Kommunikation per Schriftverkehr sowie die Vorbereitung von Gesprächen – überzeugend und selbstsicher präsentiere. Ihre Unterstützung, die sich besonders auf die klare Strukturierung meiner Kommunikation konzentrierte, gibt mir mehr Sicherheit, in meinem beruflichen Umfeld souveräner aufzutreten. Ich kann Barbara jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der seine Kommunikationskompetenzen optimieren möchte. Wenn du die Interaktion mit Behörden etc. verbessern willst, ist Barbara die richtige Wahl! Eveline Käppeli2024-09-04Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Wir (zwei Kolleginnen und ich) haben Barbara engagiert, um uns auf einen Vortrag bei einer Fachtagung vorzubereiten. Da wir alle wenig Erfahrung in diesem Bereich hatten, suchten wir professionelle Unterstützung – und Barbara war die perfekte Wahl! Mit ihrer offenen und humorvollen Art hat sie uns Schritt für Schritt durch alle wichtigen Elemente geführt und uns auf dem Weg zur Bühne begleitet. Dank ihrer Unterstützung haben wir unseren Auftritt erfolgreich gemeistert. Ich kann Barbara nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde sie jederzeit wieder für weitere Projekte hinzuziehen. Vielen Dank Barbara, für deine grossartige Hilfe! Astrid Kölln2024-08-27Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Das Coaching bei Barbara ist absolut wertvoll und transformativ! Die Zusammenarbeit hat mir in vielerlei Hinsicht die Augen geöffnet. Dank ihrer umfassenden Expertise habe ich zahlreiche Aha-Momente erlebt, insbesondere in Bezug auf meine Aussenwirkung und effektive Kommunikation. Wir haben intensiv an den spezifischen Kommunikationsformen von Männern und Frauen gearbeitet, inklusive der Anwendung von Eskalationsstufen. Ein besonderes Highlight war die Erstellung meiner persönlichen Signature Story. Barbara hat mich dabei einfühlsam und professionell begleitet und mir geholfen, eine emotional ansprechende und authentische Geschichte zu entwickeln, die perfekt zu mir passt. Seit dem Coaching fühle ich mich in meiner Wirkung deutlich sicherer und selbstbewusster. Dieses Coaching ist eine Investition, die ich jedem, der an seiner Kommunikationskompetenz arbeiten möchte, wärmstens empfehlen kann! David Garcia2024-08-05Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Eine Freundin hat mir Barbara empfohlen, um besser mit meinem Lampenfieber bei Kundenpräsentationen umzugehen. Und das, was ich am Ende erhalten habe, war so viel mehr. Wir haben zusammen nicht nur das Intro wirklich sehr persönlich gestaltet, sondern auch Storytelling für meine Botschaften genutzt. Der Erfolg mit meinen Kunden spricht für sich. Nach verschiedenen Pitches bin ich angesprochen worden, dass sich mein Auftritt so verändert habe und wie ich das gemacht habe – also habe ich Barbara gleich weiterempfohlen. Herzlichen Dank Barbara für deine tolle Arbeit und Geduld. Petra Weidmann2024-07-01Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. "Wie man von anderen wahrgenommen wird, ist einem oft selbst nicht so ganz bewusst. Schon Paul Watzlawick hat gesagt: «Man kann nicht nicht kommunizieren.» Ich wusste eine Sache: Grössere Menschen haben es auf der Karriereleiter leichter. Sie werden als kompetenter und charismatischer wahrgenommen. Ich bin ein 1.60 grosse Frau. Kopf hoch und Bauch rein reichen da nicht. Mein Ziel war also, das Präsentieren vor einer Gruppe und meine Auftrittskompetenz zu optimieren, um trotz Aufregung einen guten Auftritt zu liefern und mit mehr kontrollierter Körpersprache zu überzeugen. Barbara Hesse hat mich im Frühling 2024 an verschiedenen Terminen beobachtet und beraten. Dabei hat sie auch Videoaufnahmen von mir gemacht. Es war aufschlussreich, was Hände oder Füsse während einer Präsentation an unkontrollierter Körpersprache an Botschaften vermitteln. Mit ihrem geschulten Auge hat sie sofort gesehen, wo Optimierungspotenzial ist. Barbaras konkrete und konstruktive Tipps waren wirklich sehr hilfreich. Beim Üben haben wird dann auch viel gelacht. Ich habe zwischenzeitlich eine achtsame Haltung für meine Körpersprache entwickelt, kleine und grosse Anpassungen umgesetzt und beobachte fasziniert, wie ich mich beim Vortragen sicherer fühle und auf das Gegenüber wirkt. Ich habe dadurch mehr Sicherheit beim Präsentieren gewonnen. Das Problem ist gelöst: Frau, kompetent, charismatisch, erfolgreich. Ich kann es nur empfehlen, sich von Barbara Hesse beraten zu lassen."

And the doubts are working in you?
It would be a dream if everything were so much easier…
Isabel contacted me because she always felt uncomfortable speaking in front of groups. Being the centre of attention wasn’t really her thing. However, as it was always necessary in her job, she decided to make a change. We worked on her public speaking skills in almost 5 sessions and in the end she even had a little bit of fun when she stood in front of groups and was able to present her topics.
I recently completed a coaching session with Barbara to improve my presentation skills. I was often nervous and insecure in front of an audience and my presentations didn't come across as professional. Thanks to Barbara's coaching, I have learnt to present myself more calmly, confidently and professionally. She gave me lots of helpful tips and tricks that I was able to put into practice straight away. I found the exercises on breathing techniques and body language and the feedback on my presentation exercises particularly helpful. And of course Barbara's patient and humorous approach to things - we laughed a lot ;). The sessions definitely paid off for me and I can absolutely recommend Barbara!
Let me introduce myself:
Two decades at top companies such as PwC, EY and KPMG not only taught me how to prepare proposals. In particular, I learnt what exactly convinces and how to inspire. I led teams that landed numerous major contracts.
Over the last ten years, I have focussed on igniting the fire of presentation skills in my colleagues. Insecurity was yesterday. With specially developed training/workshop concepts and personal coaching sessions, I transformed timid speakers into genuine artists of persuasion.
Last year, I added to my expertise with further training in storytelling, video creation, virtual presentations and, most recently, as a trainer.
So I’m more than ready to revolutionise your performances both offline and virtually. And to ensure that your presentations bring both applause and real results.
If you want to take your expertise to the next level, now is the time to act. Come into the change – it will only get better.
I’ll show you how to reach your audience with confidence. And also how to keep them hanging on your every word and leave a lasting impression.
Decades in project management have left their mark. Every project is planned in detail and the goal is precisely defined. Coupled with flexibility and agility, your offer is on schedule.
My creativity surprises many people. Ideas and out-of-the-box thinking are often the missing spice for offers. A grain that makes your offer or presentation special and successful.
Especially when things get stressful or you are personally very committed, it is important to have a good sense of tact when working together. Motivation and humour are qualities that make me stand out.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ramona Schwarz when she was preparing for a major event with over 250 women – The Female Innovation Forum hosted by the Swiss Network Ladies Drive. She had been nominated for the Design Award, which she went on to win. In several sessions, we worked together on the short pitch for her product, a menstrual cup.
In the end, she was a happy and satisfied winner – and not just of the award.
Barbara prepared me for a major event in her training and I am delighted with the results! Despite the short time available, she helped me with specific, effective tips that I was able to implement immediately. With her friendly and motivating manner, she not only raised my presentation to a new level, but also gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone. Thanks to Barbara, I was able to present myself confidently and convincingly. I can recommend her to anyone who wants to prepare for presentations professionally and authentically!
I combine the best of different worlds for you – both proven presentation expertise and the knowledge of which points really lead to success.
Using tried-and-tested methods and tools, I will guide you safely through the analogue and digital jungle to your presentation in person or virtually. And in a structured, planned way.
The following 3 stages show you the most important topics that we will work on together to gradually achieve your goal.
Targeted analysis of your current or future challenge(s).
Do you currently have an important presentation planned, a crucial pitch to an investor, a job interview or are you presenting projects again and again?
The first steps to strengthen your performance skills
Depending on the objective, further training courses will follow in order to further apply and memorise the knowledge acquired. The following is an excerpt of possible areas of work:
Coaching with Barbara is transformative and highly valuable! Her expertise led to many aha moments, especially regarding my public image and communication. We explored gender-specific communication styles and escalation techniques, and a highlight was developing my personal signature story. Barbara’s guidance was professional and sensitive, helping me craft a story that is both authentic and impactful. I now feel much more confident in my presence. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to improve their communication skills!
This session was extremely fruitful and useful as it raised awareness that we can / have room to improve our presentation skills.
A “warm thank you and applause” to you for taking the time to organize, prepare and facilitate the training and the exercises.
As discussed during the conclusion of our session, and endorsed by others, a one-off session would not be enough if we want to behave more spontaneously and bring more impact during client presentations.
Thank you again !
I attended her presentation training and came out as a different person.
She will use, simple techniques to trim you as a presenter and eventually you will use these techniques without even consciously choosing them.
I strongly recommend her trainings to become a natural presenter.
Thank you and good luck with your new venture!
What else is worth knowing:
From C-level executives and middle managers to entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to optimise their presentation skills in person and online.
Especially in the current business environment, where there are more and more offers and competition, it is all the more important to stand out with impressive presentations.
But of course also those who want to increase their chances of promotion or in the application process with an outstanding presentation.
My unique combination of knowledge of communication consulting in the corporate world, personal appearance expertise and decades of consulting services form a strong foundation.
In training sessions, I not only rely on a well-thought-out mix of theory, but also on practice-oriented exercises that are always enriched with a pinch of humour.
My trademark is my personalised approach, especially in one-to-one coaching sessions, where I leave each coachee to develop their own individual personality.
I do not offer off-the-peg counselling, but always adapt the collaboration to the challenges of my clients.
The biggest hurdle is certainly the issue of time. One fits all’ may save time, but it is not necessarily successful, as the addressee quickly realises this.
It is important to focus the available time correctly. The right tools generate high efficiency. In addition, my clients benefit from my neutral view, which uncovers blind spots.
Then there is the classic fear of public speaking during presentations and appearances. Coupled with insecurity regarding posture and gestures, as well as the need to appear competent and confident.
Many people juggle this with the fear of how they will be perceived by others. Fear of being judged by others plays a central role here, which is why intensive communication training and mindset work is necessary to overcome these barriers.
Even if it is tempting, I do not recommend reaching into the drawer to recycle the last slides.
The customer/addressee will sense whether this is a standardised, off-the-peg presentation or one that has been tailored to them. Going the extra mile pays off and significantly increases the chances of success.
This is a universal principle: people buy from people. This is because no AI, however advanced it may be, can replace the human charisma that makes a lasting impression on the other person in presentations and speeches.
Due to digitalisation and the rise of virtual meetings, many of us are unfortunately a little rusty in the art of direct communication.
We often hide behind screens, but true persuasiveness only really unfolds when our entire being, including our body and our rhetoric, actively participates in the conversation.
People long for authentic communication. This allows us to really convince the other person and possibly even influence a decision significantly.
We start by defining your challenge and goal together.
For presentations, your status quo and your desired goal are important. My experience shows that every coachee has their own challenges. From speech anxiety and stage fright to more specialised topics such as storytelling or quickly building confidence when dealing with others.
Together we develop a customised plan.
Pitch training sessions benefit from practical exercises that allow me to gain insight into your specific needs, building on our subsequent sessions to achieve the desired outcome.
The sustainable impact of the collaboration is my priority.
For offers, it goes beyond winning an order. Showing my customers what adjustments they can make, what needs to be considered and simply bringing a breath of fresh air into the process. Some of my questions have already turned one-way streets into multi-lane motorways.
When it comes to pitches, my clients are more confident and relaxed with their presentations. Just recently, a coachee proudly told me about her success, how she was able to present confidently to over 100 people thanks to her newly acquired self-confidence.
That is the added value of my presentation coaching! It is impressive when coachees perform with routine and persuasiveness, with videos often serving as vivid before-and-after comparisons.
Just an excerpt, but if you want to know more, let’s talk.
In spring, an exciting journey began with Eveline Käppeli-Karrer and two other homestaging ladies. Together, we prepared their Homestaging pitches from scratch: analyzing the audience, defining their unique selling points, writing a powerful script, and countless rehearsals with signature storytelling sessions. In the end, these three women captivated the audience – and the applause was well-deserved!
We (two colleagues and I) hired Barbara to prepare us for a presentation at a symposium. As we all had little experience in this area, we were looking for professional support - and Barbara was the perfect choice! With her open and humorous manner, she guided us step by step through all the important elements and accompanied us on our way to the stage. Thanks to her support, we successfully mastered our performance. I can only warmly recommend Barbara and would use her again at any time for further projects. Thank you Barbara, for your great help!
