"I'm sorry, what? I
can't understand you." Have you ever
heard this line? Then you probably
know how embarrassing it can be to
repeat something over and over again.
Miscommunication can
and will hold you back in today's
fast-paced, international business
environment. Too many people are hiding
their gifts, talents and knowledge
from the world due to a fear of speaking
up and being misunderstood. Are you
one of them?
In this unique, interactive
and motivational workshop, Heather
Hansen will give you the tools to
speak clearly, correctly, considerately
and confidently in numerous situations
- on the phone, in meetings,
on conference calls, in presentations
- in fact any time you need to speak
English. She will help you to fine
tune the little things that can make
a big difference in your professional
success.
If you know that you
could be achieving more than you currently
are, and feel as though your spoken
English might be holding you back,
then don't miss this fascinating workshop.
Heather will help you to build on
your current skills and embrace your
own personal style. You will walk
out with much more confidence, ready
to renew your mark on the world!
