Ivan is a great lecturer who, through a relaxed and structured approach, managed to convey important communication techniques to us in a short time.
The training was excellent, the entire team gave extremely positive feedback.
We learned how to maintain control, manage our voice, body and thoughts. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking.
A POET IS BORN, A SPEAKER IS CREATED
Welcome! I'm Ivan Vrdoljak. Public speaking coach, founder of Effort, and television journalist.
During my 17 years of TV career and the hundreds of people I interviewed, I have become convinced that performing in front of a camera or an audience creates extreme stress for most speakers. They lack structure, clarity, and persuasiveness in public communication.
Over time, I felt the need to help people around me by passing on knowledge about this important communication skill - which is part of my daily work.
That's why I started Effort: public speaking training tailored to you.
A poor public appearance can cost you income, influence, and trust.
A strong public appearance is an investment that builds your professional reputation, career and results.
Whether you are preparing for a TV interview, a conference speech, a sales presentation or an important meeting - I can help you.
With training, you will overcome your fear of public speaking, improve your presentation skills and ensure that you convey your messages in the best possible way.
Regardless of whether you are a beginner or already have experience, you will become a persuasive, interesting and authentic speaker who captures the attention of your audience.
Your story deserves to be told to the best of your ability. Instead of feeling nervous, every performance will bring you a sense of satisfaction.
I invite you to see for yourself the accuracy of the proverb: "A poet is born, an orator is made." A poet is born, an orator is made.
We will achieve this goal through joint effort. Put effort into your performance!
