„In recent months (November-December 2020), I had the pleasure and the honour to attend a series of sessions on Public Speaking and Negotiation Skills Strengthening, presented by Dr Niovi Klavdianou. With a career in the field of Human Rights and Democratisation, I was part of a group of around ten professional women occupying Senior positions. I already knew Dr Klavdianou through her performances as a renowned Opera singer/actress. I was also aware of her multi-faceted profile, which included degrees in Psychology and Counseling, but was not given the chance to experience her expertise in that field until I enrolled in the aforementioned seminar.

Niovi performed this task with the highest level of professionalism and quality. Her conviction on the importance of improving public speaking skills in the career building of the participants was manifest throughout the course, as well as her profound knowledge of the subject-matter. Dr Klavdianou demonstrated her competence combined with an enthusiasm, which was equally motivating and inspirational. Her energetic disposition was key to engaging the participants in fruitful discussions and creative exercises. She was able to adapt adequately to the specific needs of each participant and propose tangible ways of skills’ and capacity building.

Last, but not least, Dr Klavdianou’s multilingual and multicultural background is, without any doubt, an asset in understanding different socio-cultural make-up and needs. She has my highest recommendation for any individual or group that is interested in developing the mindset that will allow them to highly perform in their field, through building and/or activating the necessary skills."
