Working in professional environments using a second language is full of challenges. Communication is at the top of the list. How you speak not only affects how easily you are understood, but also how confidently you communicate and the opportunities that come your way. Our coaching packages can help you to communicate in English clearly, confidently and with more credibility. You will learn to clearly pronounce the sounds of English and make your speech flow using natural rhythms and intonation. Improving your English pronunciation is not about completely getting rid of your accent. It is about speaking clearly and feeling confident so that you are maximising the impact of your communications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597756851097-OVT03SDVAJ7FQQ2INP15/s2.gif Home - Coaching packages. The coaching packages are designed to help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals as fast as possible. Individual classes are focussed on you, your goals and your specific difficulties. They allow us to target the areas that need improving most first. You will move from awareness to implementation, so that your new learning is transformed into real results. Group classes cover the four modules of the Complete English Accent course and are a great way to master the foundations of speaking clearly and confidently. Learning with others is not only fun, but allows you to develop your understanding of what is right much more quickly. Alternatively, you may prefer a Bespoke Coaching package that is focussed on a specific goal. This could be an interview for a new job or promotion or an important presentation, or it could be with a focus on intercultural business communications. Arrange a FREE chat to discuss which course is right for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597768416352-HWKX4WWTVDSGA68BVH0R/speak.gif Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597767761705-4ZMGK2BZA95HYRCP4XJF/feel-better.gif Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597766864377-9SFW82URMJIXKEVSB16E/climb.gif Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1595159718871-Y6GZ9J33BK363W77IJZN/liscarter2.jpg Home - Meet your coach. Hi, I’m Lis!I help ambitious non-native professionals reach their potential through clear and confident speech. I have been working with speakers of English as a Second Language to improve communication skills for over 18 years. Since 2010, I have specialised in teaching pronunciation to non-native professionals working in English. I have worked with people whose first languages range from Spanish to Sinhalese, French to Farsi and Mandarin to Malay. My teaching style is student-focussed and flexible. And fun! I believe the most effective learning happens when we are enjoying ourselves. I absolutely love working with my students and I genuinely care about your progress, growing your confidence and helping you reach your goals. I believe this is the reason that students keep coming back to work with me on new projects over many years. https://www.liscarter.co.uk/about-lis daily 0.75 2021-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597768586317-LV0OGRL0O0L861RSH1T2/liscarter.jpg About - Who I work with No matter your profession, communication skills impact your career progression. In fact, research suggests that these soft skills have more and more impact the higher up you go in an organisation. Pronunciation is a skill that people who are moving towards near native level may want to improve. Professionals working in English often require this level of skill in order to set them apart from the crowd and to progress in their careers. There is an element of perfectionism in this kind of work and this trait is certainly common among my clients! Many of my clients work in the City at companies such as Barclays, Citigroup and Ernst & Young. I work with doctors, lawyers and architects, those in diplomatic roles and in the creative industries, as well as staff and students at top universities including UCL, King’s College London and SOAS. https://www.liscarter.co.uk/coaching daily 0.75 2021-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597837922369-2Z80AW0X4SOU5PVBULSW/sound.gif Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597850770871-YOA8HJUE60KK5LS16SP1/stress.gif Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597854366364-QV1CJ1BFV85GHCJC3E2Y/connected.gif Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597856449891-J29DGK9EPDO7NVAXTBWO/intonation.gif Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597859917780-G78IVWCW2I6FNJD58352/British.gif Coaching - British Culture and Intercultural Communications Many areas of pronunciation cross over into the area of culture. Comparing communication styles in different languages and cultures in order to gain a deeper understanding of why people speak and behave the way they do is key to maximising the effectiveness of your communication. We will discuss how pronunciation relates to British humour, how intonation is used in British English to communicate indirectly and about conversational norms in small talk, such as when we discuss the weather! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597861392344-CB3VP1ZIATQ8TDPJLU60/lighybulb.gif Coaching - Is this coaching right for me? These coaching packages are for non-native professionals working in English. Many of my clients work in London in finance, as lawyers and architects, designers and academics. Usually they speak excellent English already, but feel that their pronunciation is holding them back. Often this is because they are experiencing difficult communications, are lacking confidence when speaking or they identify their speaking skills as the cause of failing to progress towards career goals. This often happens when looking towards taking on a client-facing role or getting a promotion. This coaching is for you if you: Are an Upper Intermediate to Advanced speaker of English Feel self-conscious, embarrassed or ashamed when you speak Feel that your pronunciation is stopping you from progressing in your career or life Are motivated to put in the practice required to make improvements Willing to invest the time and money needed to make real change in your speech https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1597862266187-DQAW9C5G61T8U77TK5TF/email.gif Coaching - This coaching is not for you if… It is true that this course is not for everyone. This coaching is for Upper Intermediate to Advanced non-native speakers of English. If you are unsure about your level, email me via info@liscarter.co.uk to set up a Skype chat so we can figure out the best path for you. You have practised your mistakes literally millions of times, so there is no quick fix for changing your accent. My approach aims to maximise efficiency in your improvements, but you must be willing to commit to regular practice over a period of time. I guarantee that after your course, you will have learnt about key areas that are causing you the most difficulty, you will understand the difference between what you are doing and what a native does and you will have learnt the techniques you need to make the changes. You will make noticeable improvements while you are focussing on your corrections, but you will need to continue practising for several months to make sure that your changes become permanent. So if you are ready to speak with more clarity, confidence and credibility, and you are ready to commit to the work to get you there, this is the coaching for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ad66d51dc219ec98a0d8/1624797069519-BFT0QAELRY95JMXB66HH/d.png Coaching - Individual from £299 Individual classes are focussed on you, your goals and your specific difficulties.
