Discover your VIBE

Learn to communicate with charisma.
Find out how you come across and where you can increase your impact immediately.

What are you touched by when listening to a speaker?

Is it the calmness in the voice and the confidence someone exudes? The thread in the story that makes everything make sense? The images and examples that make you see it like this? Or just the emotion you feel that makes you remember it?

Everyone has their own VIBE: a combination of Voice, Intellect, Body and Emotion. That is your natural way of sharing and receiving information. Your VIBE determines which presentations touch you and how your audience perceives you.

If your VIBE in line with the VIBE of your audience, your message will get through faster. But how do you know where your preferences lie? And how can you use it more consciously or broaden it, so that your message gets through to every audience?

Our VIBE assessment makes this visible and gives you language, structure and concrete development points to speak with greater ease and impact.

VIBE-Assesment

VIBE stands for the four building blocks of speaking power, and in doing so we look at three pillars:

Content

Here we explore how your VIBE becomes visible in what you say.

Voice

How do you use language, metaphors and examples to make your message clear and evocative? Does your story take on a distinctive tone that people recognise you by?

Intellect

How strong is the content structure of your story? Do you build logically, do you make choices in what you do and do not tell, and can you make complex material understandable?

Body

How “alive” is your story on paper or in your script? Does it contain scenes, concrete situations and sensory details, or does it remain mostly abstract and conceptual?

Emotion

How much emotional layer is there in your story itself? Do you share personal examples, doubt, tension and hope or does it remain mostly factual?

At Design, we explore how design is your VIBE strengthened or weakened.

Voice

Does the style of your slides, visuals and text match your voice? Does the choice of font, titles and words match who you are on stage?

Intellect

How logical and clear is the design? Do slides, diagrams and visualisations help the audience see the common thread and remember information? Or is it mainly still a cheat sheet for yourself 😉

Body

How do you use space, emptiness and rhythm in your design? Is there air, focus and calm on the screen, or is everything happening at once?

Emotion

What emotion does your design evoke? Do colours, images and style support the experience you want to portray? From playful and energetic to profound and subdued?

Delivery is all about what you do in the moment: on stage, in the audience or behind the camera.

Voice

How do you use your voice? Do you alternate tempo, volume and intonation, do you use pauses, and is there calmness in your breathing?

Intellect

Does your story stay logical and docile when you express it? Can you shift gears when questions come up, without losing the line?

Body

What is your body doing? Are you standing firmly, moving deliberately and supporting your story with gestures, or is your body distracting from what you are saying?

Emotion

How much do you connect with your audience? Do you dare to slow down, feel, look, fall silent and dare to be visibly touched by your own story?

Results:

After the VIBE assessment So you don't have one vague score, but a clear picture of your VIBE on three levels: Content, Design and Delivery.

For each pillar, you can see which letters of VIBE are already strongly present and where you can make the most gains.

VIBE at Speakers Club

The VIBE assessment was developed by Speakers Club as a practical translation of what we know from research on rhetoric, storytelling, behaviour and learning psychology. It combines the power of a model with the nuance of personal coaching.

Voice is about your voice as well as your words. Think about timing, pauses, intonation, word choice and metaphors.

Strong Voice speakers:

  • Use rhythm and silence consciously
  • Often find “just the right words”
  • Can bring their audience along with language and tone, even in complex stories

 

With VIBE discover if your Voice is already compelling or if you can gain more with rhythm, variation and expressive language.

Intellect is about content: structure, argumentation, evidence, examples and the logic of your story.

Strong Intellect speakers:

  • Build their story clearly and step-by-step
  • Can make complex material understandable
  • Exude expertise and reliability

 

VIBE shows whether your audience can follow and remember your story and where you can simplify, organise or focus.

Body is about everything you do without words: posture, facial expressions, movement and how you occupy space.

Strong Body speakers:

  • Stand firm and relaxed
  • Use movement consciously instead of restlessly pacing back and forth
  • Making sure their bodies support rather than distract from the story

 

With VIBE see how congruent you are: does what you say match what you show?

Emotion is about perception and connection: the emotional layer beneath your story.

Strong Emotion speakers:

  • Daring to show personal sides and vulnerability
  • Be able to switch energy, from light and airy to serious and deepening
  • Touch their audience, rather than just informing them

 

VIBE helps you discover how to dose emotion more consciously, so that it strengthens rather than overwhelms.

VIBE assessment

Consciously directing your VIBE

Ideally, as a speaker, you can switch between Voice, Intellect, Body and Emotion. With VIBE, you become aware of which elements are most prominent with you right now and which you use less.

With your VIBE profile:

  • See clearly which elements are most strongly developed in you
  • Understand why some audiences react immediately to your way of speaking and others less so
  • Learn how to enhance the less obvious elements in a targeted way, without losing your own style
  • The VIBE assessment is not a judgement, but a mirror. You don't have to unlearn anything; you add skills to what you already do. This way, you develop a broader VIBE and can really reach more different kinds of audiences. Not just the people who already naturally connect with you.

Better speaker? Better communicator!

What you learn in the VIBE assessment goes beyond that one stage moment.

With VIBE:

  • Understand better why some conversations flow naturally and others are strained
  • Can you assess where the other person's VIBE lies, and connect accordingly
  • Learn to make conscious choices: sometimes you need more Intellect, sometimes more Emotion or Body
  • Presentations, meetings, pitches and 1-to-1 conversations all become more effective

 

VIBE is therefore not just about you or the other person. VIBE is about you. About the match between your way of communicating and what the other person needs to receive your message.
