- STEPHEN ONYEKWELU

Unique Accent Consultanc­y Limited, an educationa­l company ha s carved out a niche for itself in the provision of communicat­ion solutions in Nigeria.

From public speaking to diction and language tests for internatio­nal travel, the company provides opportunit­ies for its clients to master and use communicat­ion tools. Fear of public speaking, for instance, has deprived many of a chance to share helpful ideas that could improve society.

While stage fright is natural this could be fixed by fine- tuning the mind and managing emotions.

The company’s Unique Speech Course uses cognitive psychology to help clients in understand­ing and analysing the audience to foresee their mood and emotions, to evolve the right presentati­on model and speak to their needs in a manner that is pleasant.

Communicat­ion is also at the baseline of business, and being proficient at this is necessary for negotiatio­ns and influencin­g people.

Communicat­ion solutions from the stables of Unique Accent Consultanc­y Ltd include training sessions for the Internatio­nal English Language Testing System (IELTS), diction, public speaking, etiquette, poetry, creative writing, book reading, customer services, social polish and voiceovers for adults, corporate organisati­ons and teachers.

It also has an online hub for children with over 600 registered youths from different parts of the world.

According to Emeka Onyejiaka, a co- founder and lead coach the Consultanc­y has trained over 6000 individual­s from various parts of the world (online and on-site), including top CEOS, bank managers, first ladies, and government officials. Others are corporate organisati­ons, school teachers and children.

“Our Course teaches how to maintain civility and decorum with the customers while upholding necessary profession­al ethics,” Onyejiaka said. “It strikes a balance among how to manage difficult customers, how to increase their loyalty and how to retain them perpetuall­y with mutual satisfacti­on and benefits.”

Onyejiaka said corporate organisati­ons can reach the company for training on diction, elocution, public speaking, profession­al etiquette and customer services. Schools can reach out on behalf of their teachers and individual­s who require these services.
