    Freelance trainer specialised in Language Training, Cross-Cultural Communication/Management, International Human Resources Management and Corporate Strategy working with private and public companies as well as in business schools. With almost 20 years experience as a linguistic trainer, I have worked with companies in many different fields (banking, manufacturing, utilities, cinema and television as well as NGOs and humanitarian organisations). I have also had experience in Human Resource Management, working on missions in France and abroad specialising in the implementation and training of Perfomance Management Systems. I am currently working on missions in the audiovisual sector (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel, Ericsson Broadcast and Media Services France - Canal Plus Overseas, France 24, LCP, Equidia, Public Sénat) and with humantarian organisations such as Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) and Coalition Plus (an international HIV advocacy group) as well as Laboratoires Juva Santé (first aid and wellbeing products) and Universal Aviation, (jet ground services). I also carry out translations in various fields, mostly audiovisual, but also marketing, finance and advertising. Since January 2011, I have changed my business's name to accommodate the new team of three other independent trainers here in Paris. We can now welcome you in our offices in the east of Paris. On top of our core activity, English business training, our other services include: - TOEIC and BEST test preparation - various translations - language training advice to help French companies make the best choices to optimise their training budgets

  • Executive Language Coach at Performance Language Coaching
    Feb 2017 - Present · 9 yrs 6 mos

    We offer coaching sessions to help professionals communicate better and more efficiently in all work situations: - preparing / having job interviews - organising / chairing meetings - giving presentations / speaking in public - negotiating new deals - annual performance reviews - socialising (restaurants, cocktail parties, official events...) What is coaching? It is a structured conversation that helps people achieve their objectives by asking directed questions in order to get them to reflect deeply on issues, find their own solutions to those issues and generate the necessary energy and motivation to make lasting changes in their lives. What is Performance Language Coaching? Using coaching techniques, the PLC coach can help French (and other non-English-speaking) professionals deal with the issue of speaking English in a professional environment. By reflecting on persistent mistakes, pronunciation errors and difficulty consolidating vocabulary, the coachee can find pro-active ways of overcoming them.
