TALK at EHL: when the spoken word becomes a force for leadership

By Vincent Duport

For several years now, TALK has been running unique masterclasses at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne devoted to public speaking and leadership. For two days on campus, ten days in digital format and a final feedback session, participants experience a transformative journey. 
The result: visible progress, greater confidence, a clearer, more embodied and more inspiring message. 
This experience proves that, with the right method, soft skills are no longer vague abilities: they become a real force - measurable, trainable and sustainable.

 

👉 Do you want teams that inspire, unite and deliver your projects with impact?

TALK turns words into leadership. 

Speaking out: more than a skill, a leadership strength

Today, speaking well is no longer enough.  
What counts is the ability to create links, transmit energy, inspire confidence and get others on board. Communication is no longer just an asset: it has become an essential part of our corporate culture. strategic strength to manage, convince, negotiate and sell. 

At EHL, a world-renowned institution, TALK is offering a masterclass designed for this new context. Not a top-down course, but a complete experience which allows everyone to test, practise, measure and progress. 
Behind each exercise, the same objective: to bring out a lively, credible and powerful voice. 

A hybrid method: the best of teamwork, people and digital technology

The TALK masterclass is based on a unique teaching approach that draws on three complementary levers: 

  • Face-to-face immersion Experience it in your own body, voice and energy. 
  • The strength of the collective To make progress through the eyes and feedback of others. 
  • Digital training consolidate what you've learnt on a day-to-day basis and measure your progress. 

This combination creates a powerful dynamic. We move away from the classic model of “two days” training and that's it". Here, the process continues, takes root, and makes a lasting difference to the way in which everyone speaks.

Three steps to transform communication

From the very first hours, participants practise embodying their communication. They work on their message, but also their voice, their posture, their energy and their emotional intelligence. 
Filmed exercises, friendly feedback and practical tools speed up progress.

«At EHL, we cultivate excellence through people-to-people experiences. Digital technology doesn't replace that, it enriches the experience.»

- Lionel Crottaz, Head of People Development

Learning continues beyond the campus thanks to the application TALK. 
Every day, participants practise in real-life conditions: a pitch to record, an intonation exercise, an answer to a difficult question. The application analyses, compares and measures progress. 

What makes the difference? 

  • Targeted micro-lessons in just a few minutes. 
  • Precise indicators to see the evolution of the voice, the rhythm and the impact. 
  • The opportunity to redo and compare, until we find the right tone. 

 

With TALK, communication is no longer a matter of feeling: it becomes a tangible and measurable force. 

The end of the course acts as an eye-opener. 
Each participant takes the floor again - this time with greater confidence, new energy and renewed clarity.

The progress is visible: messages are better structured, emotions are under control, presence is assertive. For many, it's a real wake-up call, a lasting realisation.

«The participants love it. They talk about it around them and it creates powerful word-of-mouth. It's a unique experience, combining technology, AI and the human support provided by your team. Thank you.»
