Presentation Skills for Non-Natives

Non-native employees frequently have difficulty speaking and presenting in a U.S. environment. They lose credibility because their style or speech patterns may not seem as dynamic or to the point as their U.S. teammates. Non-natives may not understand humor or idioms but are afraid to ask for help.

Classes on diversity and cross-cultural training are not enough.

That’s why we developed Presentation Skills for Non-Natives.

Whether it’s gaining buy in, presenting information, conversing clearly or composing an email, this program gives Non-Natives the confidence, skills, and know how to succeed in a U.S. workplace.

When presenting or running meetings participants will gain:

  • Greater confidence
  • Increased persuasiveness
  • More clarity in the message
  • Better control of meetings and presentations

Benefits for Company:

  • Better integration into the company culture
  • Increased productivity
  • Higher functioning teams
  • Less miscommunication
  • Recognition for diversity and inclusion initiatives

How is this Different?

  • The training consists of both classroom learning and individual coaching.
  • Classes are exclusively for Non-Natives providing a safe environment to ask questions.
  • Participants learn how Americans think AND practice the skills that are rewarded in the workplace.
  • Trainees practice with real content from their jobs-rather than role playing.
  • Coaching sessions are based on what each participant values most, whether it’s composing an email or working on diction and vocabulary.
