A Background in Education
Growing up between the Caribbean and the United States, I developed a deep passion for languages and social dynamics. My journey began with a desire to overcome my own challenges—specifically, the complexities of ADHD and the intricacies of navigating different cultures. This drive ignited a lifelong dedication to empowering others to communicate effectively, not only linguistically but also in their social interactions.
My professional journey started with over 15 years at a leading international language organization. This role provided me with comprehensive pedagogical training, allowing me to address various aspects of English language proficiency and social communication. I’ve worked across academic, professional, and technical realms, acquiring invaluable experience that has shaped my unique approach to coaching. However, my passion for teaching and communication led me to establish my own coaching company, where I now focus on helping professionals unlock their full potential.
With more than 16 years of experience as an English educator and nearly a decade as a Social Communication Coach, my work has spanned over twenty cities across two continents. My diverse academic background, including expertise in Software Engineering, English Literature, Business Administration, Neuro-linguistic programming, and Cognitive behavioural therapy, has equipped me to offer my clients not only linguistic clarity but also impactful interpersonal communication skills. My global exposure fuels my unwavering focus on cultivating meaningful connections for my clients, helping them achieve both personal and professional growth.
Coaching is My Life
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of assisting countless professionals from all walks of life. From tech moguls and visionary architects to ambitious start-up entrepreneurs and even a prime minister, individuals have entrusted me with their communication goals. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable academic feats, with clients earning top scores in certifications like TOEFL, IELTS, CAE, and GMAT. One client even secured a place at Harvard Business School with distinction.
My experience extends beyond language coaching; I’ve worked as an entrepreneurial consultant for the EU government, where I supervised and coached start-ups seeking funding in the US and UK. Through intensive workshops and hands-on guidance, I helped these entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of social communication and expand their networks. This role allowed me to witness the challenges and triumphs of business leaders, honing my ability to facilitate growth and forge meaningful connections.
Social Communication Connects All Worlds
During my formative years, I thrived in the European music industry, managing events and festivals across the continent. As a promoter and event manager, I excelled in dynamic, high-pressure environments, which presented unparalleled opportunities to network and connect with top performers and venue owners. These experiences sharpened my interpersonal skills and solidified my expertise in navigating social dynamics.
In the corporate world, I’ve collaborated with clients to advance their careers, tackling everything from promotions and negotiations to networking and performance reviews. My work goes beyond professional interactions; I also help clients embrace opportunities for social expansion in everyday contexts. Companies and organizations, including the United Nations, Google, Amazon, KPMG, Netflix, and the United States Department of Agriculture, have trusted me to enhance their employees’ communication skills.
My comprehensive background in social communication and linguistic eloquence, combined with my multifaceted experience, sets me apart as an authority in interpersonal communication. With this expertise, I empower my clients to excel in all areas of communication, ensuring their personal and professional growth knows no bounds.
My Promise
Like any true educator, I prioritize empathy and patience in my coaching. It’s paramount to me that you feel understood and challenged during our work together. I never compromise on quality, ensuring that all corrections and new information are thoroughly covered until you feel confident in applying them in real-life situations.
Finally, I value honesty in my feedback. My goal is to provide you with a clear reflection of your current skills, coupled with the passion and guidance to help you improve. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and achieve the communication mastery you’ve been striving for.
