Uta-Alexandra Kral: With voice and presence to successful leadership!

At a time when communication and leadership are closely linked, Uta-Alexandra Kral, owner of KRAL-kommunikation, provides new impulses for managers in Cologne. With 27 years of experience in corporate communications, she combines practical experience with insights from speech science, embodiment research and modern leadership theory. Your goal? To establish voice as a strategic leadership tool to help managers develop their impact. openPR reports that KRAL-kommunikation's offerings are not only aimed at managing directors and department heads, but also focus on silent performers.

The importance of voice as a communication tool cannot be overestimated. According to an article by Haufe, the way something is said has a significant impact on the effect of what is said. Although communication today often takes place via electronic media, voice remains a crucial medium - especially for managers. It is considered an acoustic calling card that reflects your personality.

A look at the offers

KRAL-kommunikation's programs rely on targeted training to strengthen the participants' communication skills and body awareness. In August 2025, a further training format called “Voice time – mini sabbatical for people with responsibility” will take place in the Sonnenstrahl seminar center in Kißlegg. The focus here is on communication skills and decision-making clarity – essential skills for every manager.

Kral emphasizes that the voice can be trained to develop its effectiveness. For example, in stressful situations, the voice may sound higher and more tense. It is therefore important to consciously control your own voice in order to avoid misunderstandings in communication. Five simple tips from Haufe's article show how managers can use their voice effectively:

• Tempo: Variieren Sie das Sprechtempo und nutzen Sie Pausen zur Verstärkung der Botschaft.
• Körpersprache: Eine aufrechte Haltung unterstützt die Stimme und sorgt für mehr Präsenz.
• Empathisch sprechen: Akzeptanz und Verständnis fördern einen wertschätzenden Dialog.
• Laut oder resonant? Sprechen Sie entspannt und resonant, anstatt die Stimme künstlich zu erhöhen.
• Innere Stimme: Hören Sie auf Ihre Intuition und bewahren Sie Ruhe in stressigen Situationen.

The connection between leadership and communication

Communication plays a crucial role in leadership and is essential for employee discussions, praise, feedback and resolving conflicts. How wpgs explains, the understanding of communication as the transfer of information is deeply anchored in practice. The sender and receiver as well as emotional signals such as body language and voice are central. Authenticity in communication is crucial to gaining the trust of employees.

In a time when expression counts, Uta-Alexandra Kral makes it clear that it's not just about what is said, but also about the way in which it is said. A conscious use of one's own voice and a clear communication strategy help managers to maximize their impact and create authentic connections.

Overall, it shows that the connection between voice, physical presence and communication strategies plays a central role in the training of modern managers. The upcoming programs from KRAL-kommunikation offer excellent opportunities to strengthen your own skills and gain new perspectives.
