​YES, our programme is comprehensive.
It is based on years of business experience, working with leading multi-national companies ...

HOWEVER ...

We add extra crucial dimensions to our courses and workshops:
  • The secret ingredient is confidence, which is instilled naturally
  • We enable students to trust themselves – both during the course and in the ‘real world’
  • Speaking English in a business context is often scary.  The goal of our courses is always to liberate students from their fears and doubts – so that they can practice and learn in a positive/non- judgmental space 
  • When training in spoken English and preparing presentations, we use a selection of enjoyable exercises, based on cooperation and spontaneity.  Learning becomes experiential and fun. Students are able to express their authentic personality while still presenting the best professional version of themselves
  • Confidence flows, Language flows, Ideas flow, Communication flows

How we work with your Team

We initially identify your specific requirements and then design a bespoke course. This might mean, for example, placing emphasis on emailing skills and negotiations or focusing on industry-specific language, vocabulary and terms (or a combination of the two). Each session has a specific objective and theme; students are given appropriate vocabulary lists related to each topic.

When practicing verbal English and presentation skills, we place more emphasis on experiential learning than formal instruction. Our workshops are enjoyable and highly energising. Students role-play in a profoundly supportive environment. We provide a safe 'bubble' or space in which participants can experiment and find their voice.
​

Our Promise

To empower course delegates, helping them to find their NATURAL and AUTHENTIC communication style in a CONFIDENT and FLOWING manner.
