Persuasion is a transfer of emotion. You cannot transfer that which you are not experiencing. Lack of persuasion can seriously impact your ability to put together a winning team, connect with an audience, make a point in the boardroom, or build meaningful personal relationships.

Gian Filippo Floriddia is of Sicilian origin, born in Zurich, Switzerland. In 2005 he opened his digital agency Floriddia Creative where he worked with well-established brands, public listed companies, and small enterprises. As well, Gian is actively involved in startup life as an investor and partner. But from early childhood, there was one more passion and love in his life – theatre, the ability to engage people in performances and connect with them on a deeper level.
Gian did numerous theatre trainings throughout the years, including a modern dance workshop with choreographer and dancer Moreno Bernardi; A mime work with the American corporeal mime Thomas Leabhart (Prof. at the Pomona College, California); Took part at the renowned Italian Theatre Festival, “Napoli Teatro Festival” directed by Matthias Langhof, together with the Heiner Müller company from Berlin and many more.
Gian has been a member of an improvisation theatre group in Zurich for seven years. As well as a member of a group doing psychodrama and Playback Theatre working closely with therapists and psychologists using this creative therapeutic approach to treat mental health problems, overcoming fears, and traumatic experiences. Gian leads improv workshops in Zurich from time to time.
In 2007 Gian co-produced “The Maids” of Jean Genet in Genoa, Italy. He decided to take a challenge and push boundaries, taking one of the leading roles – acting like a woman. This took numerous studies and training, perfecting female movement and transformation of the body, voice, and mannerisms. The performances were sold out.
Since 2007 Gian leads workshops for private individuals and teams on public speaking, storytelling, presence on stage and presentation skills, sharing the best tools he acquired throughout the years. These workshops are highly interactive and fun.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind, stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.” We all want to become a better person and to be “stretched” to accomplish more things, but we are stuck in our daily patterns.
Are you struggling to make meaningful connections? Do you have a hard time getting your point across?
The moment you step into a room, people are immediately forming some sort of impression of you. They're making snap judgments about what type of person you are — trustworthy, sincere, capable. And a lot of this is based on how you carry yourself. If you appear genuinely confident, people will be more willing to give you the attention and respect that you deserve. If you seem uncomfortable and insecure, on the other hand, people may be quick to dismiss or discredit you.
Communication is only 7 percent verbal and 93 percent non-verbal.
Building powerful social relationships is the best way to create a strong network that can help you reach your goals. We will use techniques employed by the actors on stage to make your presence in a spotlight, in a meeting or just everyday life confident, engaging, and sincere. Great public speakers are rewarded with workplace influence, trust and beneficial relationships.
If you think storytelling is something that children do, you need to think again. The most renowned brands, like Apple, Nike and Coca-cola, used storytelling to become the most valuable companies on the planet. And it's time for you to tap into this super-power no matter if you are an individual or a company. Sales (you "sell" yourself every day) is all about the story, and we can help you to create a great one.
