The King's Speech: The Birth of Articulation

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The King’s Speech: The Birth of Articulation

With twelve Oscar nominations and an arsenal of rave reviews and awards from recent ceremonies, The King’s Speech depicts the story of King Henry VI and his crusade to overcome a stammer to become one of England’s most powerful and respected leaders, while quietly celebrating the coach who helped him succeed.

Experts for more than thirty years, Peter Giuliano, Founder and Frank J. Carillo, President ofECG, know the true secret of what makes a great leader: great communication.  However, not all leaders are born that way.  There are those who understand the need for improvement, and ECG helps corporate leaders identify those objectives while improving their persuasion skills and credibility.

“Speech difficulties that differ from the pathological such as a stammer, stutter, or lisp are far more common barriers to communication success,” Carillo explains.  

Every individual can improve their ability to communicate, but need to be coached in different ways

Carillo also adds, “Fear of public speaking is legendary; filler words such as ‘um, uh, like, well, you know’ are an epidemic; poor listening skills are the rule, not the exception.”

As rhetoricians, ECG’s consultants acknowledge that proper communication is not just making a good presentation.  

ECG is prepared to offer their commentary about the techniques used in the film such as phrasing and performance anxiety as well as the various ways to improve leadership skills through good communication.
