About CBE
Ultimately effective communication creates effective collaboration, and effective collaboration produces the results you and others want.In my 30-year career as a senior manager I have been involved in multiple collaborations including those with multinational IT companies, transformational partnerships, and Governments. From this I understand where effective communication can make a world of difference. I have also seen where a lack of effective communication can lead to frustration and disappointmentI understand the extra layer of challenge you face communicating when English is not your first language. So, I founded Confident Business English (CBE) to help you with English but more importantly help you become an effective communicator in English.I bring real-world experience along with my teaching qualification to my work in universities and with private clients from Asia and beyond. I will not try and teach from a textbook; I am not here to drill grammar or alter your accent. My goal is to ensure you don't just speak English but lead the conversation and drive the results you need."
Working with You
You are skilled and able, and you are aiming to build your reputation both in your own language and in English.You could be a Leader, an International Salesperson, A Project Manager or any profession where you need English to be a persuasive and confident communicator.But when the conversation shifts to English, a disconnect can arise. You may find yourself hesitating, searching for the "perfect" phrase and while you are worried about your English that key moment goes.You worry that a slip in grammar might lead to a slip in professional standing. It feels like you are working twice as hard just to deliver half of your value. That hesitancy can reduce the confidence of you and the listener.The good news is this: Your audience isn't looking for a linguist or a different person. They are looking for the professional they know you to be.I will work with you, not as a teacher in a classroom, I don’t have a fixed curriculum, because you aren't a student.Your communication needs to be effective at delivering your intent and to do that the message has to be right and has to be delivered by you in a way that is authentic.Together, we will create the words to keep your message authentic and find your natural and effective communication style. The result is “Presence”. You will no longer be trying to sound like someone else - you will be you - delivering your message effectively in English.
