Whether a long or short flight, be the pilot of your journey.

Use checklists and strategies that work for your needs. Keep your eyes open to changes in your work or life surroundings. Understand that we live in the most linguistically diverse professional world we have ever known.

More than ever, inclusion is critical to successful communication.

York University

I started my diverse language journey at the age of 5.

Looking back, I was very lucky to have had such a bilingual and multicultural upbringing.

I think that’s why my lifelong love of travel, languages and the history of other cultures has stuck with me for so many years. I suppose it makes me who I am today.

And it’s probably what drives me to stay in my current journey.

But I think it was during my 30-year career in language education and then publishing, when I discovered that language learning success has little to do with performance.

It’s largely defined by self-perception, or where you think you are socially on that journey

In other words, we only communicate successfully when we feel included in the conversation.

That’s why at Speech Pilot we believe:

Inclusion begins with language and only you are the pilot of that journey.

But don’t worry, you’re not flying solo.

We provide the flight crew to help you get to your destination.

At the heart of each session in our training is inclusion, connection, storytelling, humour, support, public speaking tips, motivational strategies and lots and lots of feedback.

Training that aims to eliminate the fear of speaking up and the challenges of workplace language barriers, so everyone can get their message out as clearly as possible:

  • Speaker Coaching for professionals seeking laser-focused solutions to boost confidence, engage with listeners, persuade stakeholders, and further build trust.

  • Experiences in Language Empathy for organizations and managers wishing to further enhance productivity and trust among stakeholders, clients and communities.

Two solutions that achieve one outcome: redefining what together really means when English comes in loud and clear for all.
