Trainer and Professional Speaker

Milena Hardt

"The voice always has an impact." Milena Hardt – senior voice trainer, speaker, and presentation coach – knows this better than anyone. You have exciting content and speak on a podcast, YouTube video, or webinar, but somehow people don’t really listen? Or you are a CEO speaking at a town hall to thousands of people? The voice is the carrier of your thoughts and emotions. If you want to sound professional, you need professional feedback. In her workshops, Milena highlights typical speaking mistakes that unintentionally cause listeners to tune out – and, most importantly, how to avoid them. Milena’s passion for voice and expression is reflected in her work, which is precise, impact-driven, and highly practical.
