Company needs
Why this course
More and more teams must present in English to partners, subsidiaries and cross-functional committees, in the room or online. Expectations are high: clarity, simplicity, a solid structure, a faster pace and demanding Q&A. A speaker can master English and still struggle to be understood because the audience’s expectations are different from their own.
