I will remember for very long what you have taught me !!! :-)

Liene, Interpreter at EU:
“I sincerely recommend Sonja's coaching to anyone struggling with some aspect of their voice. She is a very smart lady who knows how to get to the bottom of your problem, no matter how intricate it is. I came to her convinced that I had some strange glitch related to my voice, but through our sessions she helped me to understand the variety of psychological, confidence-related and personal layers that affect me when I have to speak under stress and pressure. This was very insightful and transformative and helped me immensely to learn to use my voice in a more confident and calm manner. On a more personal note, it was also a very interesting journey to get to know myself better as a person. Thank you, Sonja! :)

Sonja actively helped me in the preparation of my first ever big talk in front of a big audience.

I would come back for sure in the future if I ever have another big talk coming up.

MY APPROACH
LET YOUR VOICE REFLECT THE BEST VERSION OF YOU
Showing up authentically and owning who you really are is a liberating process, that will set all kinds of positive changes in your life in motion. But first and foremost it will make you speak with confidence, engage your audience and put you back in the driver's seat of your own voice.
Through my coaching sessions I guide you to let the best version of you be reflected in your voice, so you can:
-
speak with confidence
-
engage your audience naturally
-
let your expertise be reflected in the way you speak
-
establish yourself as an expert and overcome imposter syndrome
-
use your authentic voice
We will draw from 3 key areas, that have proven to be the most efficient path to take you from "I'm definitely not going to speak at this event" to "Of course, I'll speak! Sign me up!".
How much we dive into each key area depends on where you want to focus in our coaching.
YOUR VOICE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOU
The way you share it with your audience determines whether you are being perceived as authentic, trustworthy, knowledgeable and inspiring. In short whether your voice brings someone value or not.
Since our way of communicating is so deeply entwined with who we are as a person and the experiences we have had with sharing our voice, we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to show up perfectly. As a result what happens is that we share our voice inauthentically and artificially even when our aim is show up naturally, authentically and with confidence.
This creates a dilemma: showing up authentically and convincingly while trying to hide our nerves and insecurities.
Through my years of coaching incredibly gifted clients, I have created a coaching process that is extremely efficient, because it takes into account your voice as well as the way you use it in the context of your work.
