Creating winning teams - in the UK and internationally

Do you lack confidence in front of an audience? Does nervousness stop you making a good impression?

Do you need to develop charisma? Is your diction clear enough so you are easily understood? 

A participant presents to the group

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

OPC trains and coaches groups and individuals 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

• We help you express yourself powerfully yet respectfully, to be understood easily
• If you work across cultures, we help you develop better skills in International English; we show you where problems are likely to occur; we teach you practical and easy-to-follow solutions
• We help you develop the confidence to share your ideas and information easily.

We help you to speak clearly and to achieve your aims

The way you speak may make an unintended 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.
