What I coach
Two tracks. One outcome: the result you came for.
02
Conversational
Social and professional confidence: small talk before the meeting, dinner with clients, networking events, the conversations that build trust. Natural, current topics, so you hold your own when nothing is scripted.
Client voices
Stephen has a natural talent for coaching people to recognise opportunities, build confidence and turn ideas into action.
He is an excellent listener, quickly identifies the key issues and is able to challenge your thinking in a constructive way.
We can take an actual business situation, conversation or challenge and turn it into an opportunity to improve both my English and my communication skills.
What I particularly appreciate is Stephen's gentle corrective approach. He allows conversations to develop naturally and then helps me recognise and correct mistakes without interrupting the flow or making me feel uncomfortable.
…his guidance gave me the confidence and clarity to approach senior decision-makers, ultimately helping me turn important opportunities into successful client relationships.
Stephen has a great ability to listen, ask the right questions and challenge you when needed, while always keeping the focus on achieving a tangible outcome.

About
I know what it takes to be understood in a room that matters, because I've been in those rooms.
Over 30 years of international experience in business: B2B sales, executive negotiation and leadership across four countries, before I ever coached a lesson.
Along the way I pioneered online language learning in Germany and Switzerland, and worked across many corners of the economy and the sciences.
I speak three languages, learned largely by living them rather than studying them in a classroom. I know what it takes to get comfortable in a language you didn't grow up with, because I've done it myself, as an adult, under real pressure.
