SPEAKING COACH
Whatever it is, the way you present your story can make all the difference.
CLEAR | CONCISE | CONFIDENT
The need for clear, confident speakers has never been greater or more urgent for employers and stakeholders throughout the world.
But many who speak English as a second or additional language have a wide range of very real and legitimate challenges and pain points.
The good news: it has nothing to do with “fixing” your accent.
Researchers, teachers, and speech coaches agree that a clear and confident voice is achievable for any non-native speaker of English by focusing on the sum of the parts, not just accent, not only individual sounds, nor trying to mimic a native speaker. It’s about thinking big.
It’s recognizing how multicultural English is today and will be in the future. It’s about using big-picture communication and pronunciation strategies, while staying true to your identity and the many features of your mother tongue.
Whether it's a one-time service for an upcoming conference presentation or longer more measurable one-month training in communication and pronunciation, I can help.

“Patrick is very professional, organized and reliable. He pays attention to the needs of learners and really cares about seeing them progress. He prepares the training content so that the concepts learned are useful and applicable to their context, professional or otherwise. Finally, his patience and his good humour were certainly assets in the success of our project.”
