Joint English And Intercultural Communication Training

Language and Global Mindset Training for International Executives

Culture is communication and communication is culture

Edward T. Hall

Working in international teams means communicating and managing multicultural employees – are you linguistically and culturally fit?

Sometimes it is said that the native speakers of English are at an advantage in international meetings as they are speaking in their mother tongue.

Do you feel that you are not quite yourself when speaking English at work and that you remain quiet because of lack of confidence? Is this your experience?

If you would like to gain confidence using English at work and brush up other important communication skills that will give you confidence in the international arena, this training is for you.

You can choose from the following modules:

  • International Presentation Skills

  • International Writing Skills

  • Running International Meetings

  • Virtual Communication Skills

  • Developing a Global Mindset/Intercultural Competence

What is the offer

Courses can be booked as a 1-1 group/team training for a full day face-to-face or online (in shorter blocks).

My training courses can be adapted to suit your organization needs.

I also recommend supporting this training with 1-1 coaching on The International Profiler, a tool for developing intercultural competences if you are working cross-culturally on a regular basis.

What Others Are Saying

Read my testimonials

I enjoyed working with Vanessa on a few occasions as she contributed to our corporate Insights blog. Vanessa wrote articles specialising in language learning and culture, often proposing subjects and researching for submissions. Given that Marketing didn’t have an in-house copywriter, Vanessa’s editorial work over the years has been instrumental to some of our core Marketing campaigns. She is reliable, easy to work with and receives feedback well. I look forward to reading more of her in-depth articles.” Charleen Parkes Founder and Head of Digital Content  Travel & Lust

Thanks to her support, I am now constantly developing my communication skills, reaching positive outcome from any interaction with people from all around the world.

Federico Stoppello

She proved to be able to transfer her own intercultural experience and sensitivity to others in a motivating way. Participating in her lectures was highly rewarding. Without the insights gained during her lectures I might not have chosen to go for a Master’s degree in cross-cultural communication afterwards.

Vanessa was my English professor at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences. What she taught us about cultural differences and their impact on international cooperation was incredibly valuable and interesting. Vanessa is not only a highly professional teacher, but also a very lovely human being.
