Enhance your speaking skills with us for greater impact

 

A participant presents to the group

In business, you must be clear, confident and make a positive impact, whether you are face-to-face, on the telephone or in a presentation. It's even more important in a mixed-nationality event.

OPC trains and coaches you as a group and an individual to present information effectively in meetings, in the UK or internationally.

Our most popular communication courses last year were:

  • Powerful Presentations and Public Speaking
  • Presenting with Confidence at International Meetings
  • Diction Coaching

Presenting with Confidence

  • Do you lack confidence speaking in front of an audience?
  • Does nervousness stop you expressing your thoughts clearly?
  • Would you like tips, techniques and strategies from our experienced presentation skills experts?
  • Do you want lots of practice with feedback?
We help you express yourself powerfully yet respectfully, so you are understood easily. If you work across cultures, we help you develop better cross-cultural skills; we show you where problems are likely to occur and we teach you practical and easy-to-follow solutions. We help you develop the confidence to share your ideas and information easily. In addition, we give you tips on how to use English efficiently as an international business tool.

We help you to speak clearly and to achieve your aims

The way you speak may make the wrong impression: 

  • If your voice is unusually quiet, you may appear to lack confidence
  • If your pronunciation is unusual or you have a heavy foreign accent, you may be hard to understand
  • If your English sounds "different" (even if you speak every fluently), they may be confused
  • If your English is perfect but your delivery very fast: you may be impossible for international colleagues to understand

Your ability to build business and professional relationships is all-important. It depends on how you communicate with people on a personal level, how you speak and how well you listen. We help you with all of this in our Diction Coaching.

Choose the communication skills you want to develop 

We start the process by

  • discussing the results you want - so we make sure you are successful
  • we analyse the audiences you address - so you learn how to adapt more successfully to their needs
  • we discover what experience you already have - so we don't  waste time with ideas you already know 

Whether you have an off-the-shelf product or a tailored programme, we make sure you achieve results.Whether it is for mixed-nationality or international meetings, for leadership development or team-building, we will create a bespoke programme to improve and enhance your business communication skills.

If you need to improve your use of English at work

If you lack confidence when communicating in English in business and professional situations, or if your English is weak because it is not your first language, we can help you in three different ways:

  • Practical strategies to use at work when you communicate ideas and information in English
  • Coaching to build confidence when using English in specified work-related situations
  • An English language training programme specially for you at International English.

Find more details on these 3 options by contacting our English team at Oxford Professional English.

The way you created new phrases from my own words and ideas was very important to me."
