"Who cares?" and "So what?" ToneBurst is based on the fact that "within the first few seconds you talk, people decide whether to listen to you, trust you, or do business with you based primarily on the sound of your voice ." Marlena Reigh, Voice Image Specialist. Our experts listen and give speakers a rating as to the "character" or selling "profile" of the voice. Emotion, rapport, charisma, panache, passion, support, and other very positive "sounds" in a voice can be accurately determined and rated. PMC Customer Satisfaction offers clients a way to hold a significant "conversation"

The average handicap has not improved significantly over the last 25 years, even as golf ball and club technology continue to improve. This is because most amateurs do not improve their swing. One of the biggest problems that most amateurs make in their quest to improve their swing is to try one 'tip' after another. But if you haven't diagnosed the problem and what is causing it, the tip may actually create more problems instead of correcting it.

Row cycling is fun and can be tough, very tough. "Die hards" find a new extreme challenge: kick and pull your brains out  while you are "flying" low over the road. Or one can also row at a very relaxed pace and enjoy the scenery on the rowingbike. On this 7th Rowingbike Championships both racing "die hards" and more recreational rowingbikers will get their kicks. There's a racing class and a touring class. The racing class will ride 4 disciplines: a Criterion along 14 km, Sprint (333 m), one hour Time Trial and a 80 km Long Distance race. This balanced combination of sprints and distance races ensures an all-round test of the participants. The touring class will perform 2 tours: one of 60 km and a 70 km ride. The rowingbike is a kind of recumbent bike that is propelled by a rowing movement. That means that legs, arms, back, belly and shoulders are used in propelling the bike forward. A unique feature of the rowingbike is the fully step-less propulsion by means of a steel or dyneema cable on a snek in stead of the conventional chain driven system. Result is the rowingbike: an all-round fitness device which provides high speeds and is fun to ride!.
