Effective Communication for Non-Native English Speakers

This interactive half-day course will help English as a second language (ESL) speakers communicate better with enhanced clarity and purpose and neutralize pronunciation while delivering messages to the most critical audiences. It will also help co-workers understand better how to break down communication challenges effectively with ESL professionals. This course will help reduce complaints and communication barriers and improve the bottom line.

Some of America’s scientists, researchers, and doctors are not native-born, and many more immigrants are taking on roles as executives, managers and highly skilled technical professionals. However, many foreign-born professionals struggle to overcome cultural and communication barriers that hinder their goal achievement. That is one reason we see relatively few non-native professionals in top management roles. Often, conflicts arise because of missed cultural and linguistic cues. How do we change that?

A seasoned accent reduction coach, former VOA broadcaster, and television producer, Dottie Li (a non-native English speaker herself) will guide you through this eye-opening training to improve your communication.
