"We have better and more communication amongst employees, less time spent trying to understand each other. And, we also have more effective meetings, in fact, a 10 minute gain of one hour per meeting."

Foreign-born Executive Training
As foreign-born executives, you need to achieve the self confidence in the US that you have in your native country and language. With intensive, focused training, you will look and sound as good in English as you do in your native environment.
What kinds of Clients do we have?
- Executives who want to adjust their communication styles to foster better relations and understanding within their management groups
- International professionals with limited previous exposure to U.S. idiomatic speech and business writing who are looking to communicate effortlessly within their companies
- Professionals who can’t advance quickly in their careers due to difficulties communicating their ideas in a way that is acceptable to people around them
- Management teams struggling with obvious or unrecognized multi-cultural communications' challenges
Outcomes
- Communication skills are more positive, effective and accurate
- Greater confidence to produce written documents that are effective communication tools
- More relaxed interpersonal communication once individuals know that their accents present no barriers to others understanding them
- Your ideas will be validated and you will be a more valuable member of the team and be able to participate fully in any and all discussions.
As you know, your effectiveness at work depends not on just excellent technical knowledge in your workplace, but that you are able to communicate understandably and in a way that other people consider culturally appropriate.
