Knowing how to communicate, build relationships of trust with your foreign clients or partners and manage multicultural environments is a major asset in today’s increasingly international world.
Since 2000, I’ve been coaching executives in business communications so that they acquire the skills they need to gain promotion or to become genuine ambassadors.
I help them to:
- Build relationships of trust with their foreign counterparts
- Push their ideas
- Use convincing arguments to persuade others
- Prepare and deliver punchy speeches or presentations
- Prepare for all-important meetings or negotiations through role play
Support includes one-off assignments and full-day immersions.
Language testing
The growing need for staff to cope in international workplaces today calls for objective and easy to administer English language testing.
The LINGUASKILL is the most widely-used test used by international corporations in France to certify language training courses.
A few arguments in favour of the LINGUASKILL:
- 4-Skill - reading, listening, writing & speaking
- Reputation - it was developed by the University of Cambridge
- Easy to administer – an online test that is easy to organise with immediate results
- Adaptive testing technology – use of leading-edge technologies whereby the level of difficulty of the questions is automatically adapted based on your answers, leading to more accurate results
- Choice – available in General or Business English
- Internationally recognized - aligned with the Council of Europe's Common European Framework
Translation
From intelligent translation to local adaptation
Businesses have diverse translation needs. At times all they need is a simple edit or translation, while at others something more creative is required to convey the force, impact and feeling of the original. At Synonyms we provide both.
Our multi-cultural team, managed by Sarah Symon, has 20 years’ experience in business, marketing, communications, crisis management, energy and IT among others. We understand the importance of meaning and nuance and pride ourselves in delivering professional results, on time and to tight deadlines.
Why struggle to write punchy copy in English, when you can call in a native English writer to do it for you?
Our team has a background in PR, marketing and advertising, writing copy to order for websites, newsletters, press packs, blogs, articles, etc
