Increase Your Self-Confidence, Get Noticed, and Enjoy the Benefits of People Listening To You When You Speak
Communicate clearly, confidently and concisely by building your speaking skills. Your ability to persuade, convince, compel or resonate with your audiences depends on it!
Are you tired of repeating yourself? Do others translate your message for you?
If so, this probably won't come as any shock to you...listeners who can't understand someone's message will do all sorts of crazy, irritating behaviors!
If you are like most of my clients, you are tired of repeating yourself over and over again. I often hear my clients say, "If I have to repeat myself one more time, I'm going to scream!" This must be so frustrating!
Sometimes, my clients tell me that they have explained something to the team only to have a colleague jump in and say, "What she really means is...." Someone with good intentions assumes that your message wasn't very clear or easy to understand and felt the need to translate for you.
Is it ever clear to you that the person you were talking to didn't get what you said but acted like they did? You know this because the comments they make in response are totally off-topic from what you just said.
The worst exasperating reaction (and to me the saddest) is the obvious avoidance of someone you wish to speak to. You may notice them ducking around the corner when you show up. Another way to experience this reaction is when you aren't selected to speak or present even though you are the most qualified.

What Can You Expect When You Take Your Speech To A New Level?
Increased self-confidence
This is probably the #1 outcome we hear from our students and it shows. When students are communicating with ease, self-confidence rises exponentially. You will feel more courageous and willing to lead others, join in conversations and take initiative to be speak out.
understood the first time
Being understood the first time means that you won't be interrupted with an annoying request to repeat yourself. The conversation will flow easily and smoothly.
Nobody Translates for you
If someone is translating whatever you say, does that make you feel confident? We know that when you say what you meant to say and nobody misunderstands or translates for you, you will gain even more confidence.
Earned respect and gained trust
People who speak clearly sound competent. You can expect to earn respect and gain trust just by speaking more clearly and fluently.
Here’s what people are saying about the membership...
I no longer repeat; I know how to adjust
"I didn't realize how difficult my speech was to understand until I asked a customer for feedback. I was shocked to hear that it was a struggle to understand me and he wasn't certain about whether he heard me correctly. He said he felt bad every time he asked me to repeat. Now I rarely have to repeat or I know what I have to adjust when someone doesn't understand me."
I am confident
"My employer told me that I would have a hard time moving into a higher level at work (despite my great training and expertise) if my communications skills did not improve. Many people couldn't understand me and it was affecting my relationships with my colleagues and supervisor and anyone else who had contact with me. I feel confident my boss will be giving me much better scores on communication after this course."
Capable of talking by phone
"This course has taught me a lot about English, and now I am capable to talk to people by phone and face-to-face and to negotiate and reach an agreement and close deals in my daily routine."

The Easiest Way for You to Feel Confident About Your Communication Skills
Many people are intimidated by the idea of learning the intricacies of American English... and maybe you feel the same way. Isn't it too complicated, too technical, too time consuming, too costly?

This membership will help you speak more confidently by understanding American English high level skills which contribute to speaking fluently. And these techniques are rarely taught in English language schools. Crucial to understandable speech that is smooth and natural is the rhythm, rate and melody of American English.

"I Rarely Repeat"
I didn't realize how difficult my speech was to understand until I asked a customer for feedback about his reasons for choosing another company to do business with. I was shocked to hear that my customer was unhappy with our communication. He told me that it was a struggle to understand me and he wasn't certain about whether he heard me correctly. He said he felt bad every time he asked me to repeat. Now I rarely have to repeat or I know what I have to adjust when someone doesn't understand me."
"Many People Couldn't Understand Me"
"At my last performance evaluation at work, I scored 'meets expectations' or 'above expectations' on every single aspect of my job performance except those related to my communication skills. My employer told me that I would have a hard time moving into a higher level at work (despite my great training and expertise) if my communications skills did not improve. Many people couldn't understand me and it was affecting my relationships with my colleagues and supervisor and anyone else who had contact with me. My next review is coming up and I feel confident my boss will be giving me much better scores on communication"
"Taught me a lot!"
"This course has taught me a lot about English, and now I am capable to talk to people by phone and face-to-face and to negotiate and reach agreement and closing deals in my daily routine."

On a personal note
I am so pleased to offer this membership site to you. It has been a dream of mine for so many years to reach as many people as possible and give them a way to make the changes that are needed to be better understood. Countless clients have expressed that above all, their increased self-confidence that comes with changing something about the way they communicate, is the greatest benefit of all. I wish this for you, too.
Hope to see you soon!
