Business Communication Coaching
Stop staying silent in meetings. Learn the exact phrases and strategies that help non-native speakers contribute confidently, lead discussions, and be heard.
1:1 coaching for professionals who know what they want to say — but struggle to say it in English.
Quick answer
Confidence in meetings comes from practising the right phrases and getting feedback in realistic situations. Anna Baran teaches you how to interrupt politely, give opinions, agree and disagree, and lead discussions in English. Coaching is one-to-one, online, and focused on the meetings you actually attend.
Does this sound familiar?
These challenges are common for non-native professionals — and every one of them can be fixed with the right coaching.
You have excellent ideas but by the time you've translated and simplified them, the impact is lost.
Native speakers fill every pause. By the time you're ready, the conversation has moved on.
Disagreeing, redirecting, summarising — all of these require specific language most professionals were never taught.
You contribute in 1:1 conversations but go quiet the moment there's a group of native speakers in the room.
