"I went to see Dr. Blendstrup because I wanted to learn
more about daily business practices in the US.
We worked on my management styles, recognizing different ways
of managing people or a team, changing my vocabulary reflecting
a German approach to one suited for the US business climate.
She also helped me organize and formulate my thoughts for a business presentation, which was grammatically correct and had sound ideas.
Best of all, I enjoyed our sessions and I recommend her for
other individuals looking to brush up their business communication skills."
