Accent Reduction Coaching
Help your team speak with clarity and confidence so their expertise shines through no matter their native language.
This weekly 1-hour coaching program is designed to help your employees be understood all around the world in a way that feels natural, empowering, and enjoyable.
The focus is on building clarity, rhythm, and confidence in speech, so your staff can communicate their ideas with impact. Sessions include practical techniques, guided exercises, and real-time feedback in a supportive group setting.
The techniques are based on North American Canadian English speech patterns. The goal is not to sound Canadian; it is to help employees speak with clarity and confidence, and to be understood.
Each session includes:

- Guided exercises to reinforce learning
- Real-time feedback in a supportive, one-on-one format
Whether your employees are client-facing, presenting internally, or collaborating across teams, stronger communication leads to stronger results.
