What Students Say

Giuseppe Conti,
Professor at UBIS Business School

I had the pleasure to start working with Dr. Branka Zei in 2005. At the time, I was starting my teaching career and my voice was one of my limiting factors of my teaching activity. I am glad to report that the coaching performed by Dr. Zei has sharply improved my communication ability and led to a sharp increase in my career success.

Von Rohr & Associates SA

Having had the privilege to partner with Dr. Branka Zei, Vox Institute, Geneva for more than 15 years, I take pleasure in providing this personal letter of recommendation.

David Heng,
Former Managing Director,
Talent and Culture, CIMB Group"

Dr Branka Zei Pollermann was engaged by the CIMB Bank for the voice analysis of the talents in the Private Banking business. She was spot on in her profiling of the emotional and acoustic dimensions of these talents.

Dear Branka,
Just wanted to tell you that I have made it for my first talk in front of 500+ people and it went very well. Your training was of amazing help.
Thank you :)

Dear Branka,
I wanted to thank you for your excellent job. The interview was a success.
It resulted that my strong point is the communication.
I got the indefinite position at XXXX!!!!!
Thanks really a lot again

Dear Branka,
Last year I went back to the material you gave me, the notes I took during your precious lessons and to the exercises. This year I was presented to the committee, I made my show and one hour ago I was told that I got my promotion. In what I was able to do, there is a lot from your lessons. It is by far the most useful course I had.
So, thank you very much Branka. I really appreciated your help.
Grazie di cuore
