Is Your Spoken English Holding You Back? | Follow to Master It | Accent & Fluency Specialist | Executives, Founders & Teams Hire Me To Become Top Tier Communicators 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧 | Fluent in 5+ Languages

You’re brilliant in your native language.
You’re a confident and credible leader in your field.
But in English, it doesn’t 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 like it - and it’s costing you.

You might be competent at reading & writing in English,
But the moment you open your mouth, it's like you're not as sharp...
It's like they're working extra to understand you, and it's not getting better.

You feel it in meetings. In pitches. At events.
You know you’re not being seen as the expert you really are.

That’s what we fix.

I help international professionals speak English with 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒, and 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦, without needing to sound 100% native or study for hours a day.

We get real-world results:
	•	Ismail tripled his US sales in 3 months.
	•	Louise now leads European teams with confidence.
	•	Serge grew his law firm internationally and speaks at global events.

Our method works fast, because it’s not generic.

We start by identifying your highest-impact pronunciation, fluency, and communication issues with a data-backed diagnostic.
Then we build a 𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑚 𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑚𝑎𝑝 that targets the 20% of habits holding you back, and upgrades them step-by-step.

It’s called the EAR Method:
• Energy – Speak without strain or hesitation
• Accent – Sound clear and natural, not “foreign”
• Recognition – Be seen as the expert, not just “the person from ...”

We measure your progress.
We train with impact.
We make your English work 𝑓𝑜𝑟 you, not against you.

I’ve personally used this method to pass for a native in 6 languages, in under 3 months each time.
But this isn’t about me. It’s about your voice being heard, respected, and remembered.

If you’re not at a 9 or 10 on Energy, Accent, and Recognition…
It’s time to change that.
