Esiintymisenkieli™ training is not just about public speaking – it’s about unlocking your full potential to influence through communication in a holistic way.
Esiintymisenkieli™ is a scientifically and pedagogically grounded coaching method that helps participants quickly develop the skills for impactful presenting.
The method combines evidence-based learning theory, both verbal and nonverbal communication techniques, practical exercises, and personalized feedback – all within a safe and supportive environment.
Each participant’s progress and individual needs are carefully considered.
The training is equally well-suited for those who are hesitant about public speaking and for experienced presenters looking to improve their impact.

“I’ve attended presentation training before, but Niina’s coaching was in a league of its own. It focused only on what truly matters, was hands-on, and exceptionally effective. Every minute of the course brought insights – but more importantly, I walked away with practical tools I could use immediately after the training.
I received encouraging feedback that led to excellent results in no time. The way I approach public speaking changed dramatically thanks to this course. I warmly recommend it to anyone who wants to unlock their presentation superpowers – quickly and joyfully!”Hanna Ahtola

Skilled presenting isn’t a talent – it’s a learnable skill
With the Esiintymisenkieli™ method, the speaker learns the key techniques for impactful presenting. In addition, they gain access to the Magical Formula for Impactful Presentation Materials™, which helps them create clear, purposeful, and visually supportive presentation content that strengthens their message.
Together, these skills make their speaking more powerful and holistically impactful.
In this way, the speaker learns to make use of:
-
Ethos, pathos, and logos – the three pillars of classical rhetoric
-
Nonverbal communication and body language – used consciously and effectively
-
Purposeful use of space and mindful audience engagement
-
The rhythm and pacing of speech to shape atmosphere and impact
-
Interaction and connection with the audience
-
And the synergy between content and visual materials to strengthen message delivery
The result is rapid learning and a transformative shift in the speaking experience: presenting no longer causes stress or stage fright – it becomes energizing and inspiring.
“A training that changed everything.
Niina’s insights went straight to the core: clear, practical, and instantly applicable. Thanks to them, presenting now feels natural and even exciting. The Magical Formula for Impactful Presentation truly works!
Niina is not just a presentation coach – she’s a true guru who helps people shine.”
Liisa-Marie Stenbäck
Managing Director at Recser Oy
Learning is grounded in experiential practice, emotional engagement, and reflective thinking
According to research, the most lasting learning takes place through doing, experiencing, and emotionally engaging situations (Kolb, 1984; Illeris, 2007). The Esiintymisenkieli™ method is built on experiential and positive learning, where participants:
-
Practice easily adoptable micro-techniques for effective presenting
-
Use video recordings to support observation and feedback
-
Emphasize experiences of success and progress
-
Learn in an interactive and inspiring group atmosphere
“The instruction was consistently within the zone of proximal development. In other words, the level of challenge was just right for our current skill level, and with Niina’s guidance, we kept reaching for more advanced performances.”
Oula Mommo
Subject Teacher of Music, Special Education Teacher, Doctoral Researcher
Pedagogically designed – scientifically proven
The structure of the method is based on the flipped classroom model: preparatory assignments and online materials enhance the effectiveness of in-person training. The coaching includes, for example:
-
Pair work, group tasks, and individual practice
-
Presentations recorded on video and delivered live with personalized feedback
-
Feedback discussions, self-assessment, and peer evaluation
-
Theory segments that support practical experimentation
“The exercises were fun and light in the best possible way, yet everything we did had a deeper pedagogical purpose. Niina created an atmosphere in the group where it felt safe to experiment and even make mistakes. She also taught by example – she was a confident presenter herself and provided guidance both to the group and individually.”
Elmiina Tahkola
M.Ed., Doctoral Researcher
Human-centered guidance – a safe and supportive atmosphere
At the heart of the training is individual, accepting, and encouraging guidance. Feedback focuses on strengths and growth – not on mistakes. As a result, many participants rediscover the joy of learning and see presenting as something truly achievable.
“I’ve had the chance to attend a handful of trainings that truly have a life-lifting impact — and Niina’s presentation coaching is one of them. Her training is genuinely filled with JOY, and with the tools she shares, you too can become a brilliant presenter who shines. For me, the experience was almost therapeutic.”
Mika Päivänsara
Creative R&D Professional & Accredited Coach at Vaisala
The training has a clear structure, hands-on exercises, and participants practice techniques that leave a lasting impression.
The method breaks down the art of presenting into small, body-anchored techniques, such as:
-
Proper positioning in relation to the audience and supporting materials (slides): toes pointed toward the audience (prevents reading from slides), shoulder always facing the front of the room…
-
Equal eye contact with all listeners and maintaining the right energy level: use three anchor points while speaking and focus on one person at a time…
-
Emphasizing key messages and voice with hand gestures, while reinforcing the message in the audience’s memory: illustrating ideas with gestures, underlining phrases, and highlighting points with an open palm…
-
Practicing vocal techniques and speaking tools: pausing before an important message, emphasizing key words, changing position in silence…
“After the training, I noticed myself presenting with confidence, presence, and enthusiasm. Nothing is the same anymore – just as Niina promised.”
Minna Pitkäniemi

Video recording and reflection support the learning process
Watching your own and others’ presentations on video offers a unique opportunity to observe speaking from multiple perspectives. It enhances both self-expression and awareness – and provides concrete experiences of success.
“Theory and practice were seamlessly integrated, and the pace of the course felt natural throughout. I learned an incredible amount for a two-day training. Now I’m actually looking forward to putting the new skills into practice beyond the course.”
Oula Mommo
Subject Teacher of Music, Special Education Teacher, Doctoral Researcher
During the training, participants build their presentations using the Magical Formula for Impactful Presentation Materials™, developed by Niina Sainius – resulting in clear, goal-oriented presentations that support audience understanding.
A well-structured presentation strengthens its overall impact and gives the speaker greater confidence.
When the speaker learns the techniques of impactful presenting through the Esiintymisenkieli™ method and knows how to create clear, compelling presentation materials using the Magical Formula, their communication becomes holistically more powerful.
“Niina’s presentation coaching is one of those rare trainings that truly delivers. Both the Magical Formula and Niina’s highly skilled personal guidance provide concrete tools and clear direction for impactful speaking. I warmly recommend it!”

The empowering impact of the training breaks down barriers to learning.
According to research, the greatest barriers to learning are feelings of insecurity and the fear of making mistakes (Dweck, Illeris, Ryan & Deci). Esiintymisenkieli™ training dismantles these obstacles by creating a positive learning atmosphere and strengthening the learner’s self-esteem.
Studies (Hattie, Vygotsky, Dweck) show that an excellent coach: creates a safe environment, sets clear goals, provides individual and encouraging feedback, and inspires through their own example. This leads participants to experience the training as both insightful and empowering.
These are the very words clients have used to describe Niina Sainius.
”Niina is an extraordinary presentation trainer and the best mentor to have! Of those I met over the years, and I met many at top Universities and great trainers from the media world, her impact has been the most profound of all of them.”
