Both Business English and Presentation Programmes are customised to meet the individual and corporate current challenges and goals
Presentation Programmes
“Real transformational change to your communication can take months. Short one or two day/quick ‘fix it’ presentation courses just don't work.”

Or…
Do you find it difficult to persuade and influence others with your great ideas? Are you uncomfortable on stage, or leading a virtual conference? Do you have trouble fully utilising your years of expertise and experience when you present?

Engaging slides to help convey my messages. Stress has gone!
“Melanie transformed my slides to be more engaging to help convey the messages I want to share. Great work too on my voice and body, and language.

Business English Programmes
“Intensive grammar studying and online exercises don't result in real grammar acquisition”
Do you feel lost in meetings, but you’re unsure of what to say about it?
Do you fear the way you write your emails, proposals, and reports is making you look like less of an expert than you really are?
But you don’t have to use perfect grammar and complicated expressions in English to be understood and respected in your day-to-day communication.
Communicating effectively in spoken and written English is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand skills in business. From administrative assistance up to the highest levels of your company, the written word is being used to set appointments, close deals, and spread great ideas – so accuracy is extremely important. But when you’re speaking, you don’t have to be perfect. You just need to be understood.
Melanie helps her clients identify and focus on their most important current challenges, so they can make progress where it will really matter.
The Business English Programmes are for you if you want to…
Be clearly understood by global business partners in meetings and via email…
Stop sabotaging your ideas and invalidating your arguments with incorrect grammar and language that lacks power …
Encourage meeting participants, as a leader, when there is a large variation in English levels present…
Adapt, like a chameleon, and vary your English between informal and formal settings…
… Or be fully prepared for the challenging questions at your next interview.
