PREMIUM ENGLISH COACHING FOR FRENCH EXECUTIVES
Lesley Viet
International Services
Hi, I’m Lesley
I offer bespoke professional English coaching for French executives who already lead in their own language and want to have the same impact in English.
My work draws on more than 30 years of experience in business and cross-cultural communications, language teaching, interpreting and coaching.
Together, we identify where English is holding you back, then develop the precise language you need to handle meetings, presentations and conversations with confidence and ease.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Impact is not accidental.

It is a skill you can learn, practise and use deliberately every time you communicate, until it becomes second nature.

“When I speak in English, I feel like I lose all my power.”

You already have the expertise, authority and influence to excel in your native language. My role is to make sure your English reflects this, so you can communicate with the same confidence, presence and credibility as you do in French.

Fast results. Always bespoke.

I work one-to-one with you to understand precisely what your role demands. I will build each session around the vocabulary and expressions specific to your work so you can put them into practice straight away.

Three ways to work together

One-to-One Coaching
I take the time to understand your job, your priorities and the professional interactions you face every day. From there, I design bespoke sessions around your specific needs, using original industry reports, journals, articles, podcasts and interviews in English to ensure our work is always current and relevant.
Workshops for Groups
A suite of practical, high-energy workshops for teams who want to boost their impact in English, together.
Participants learn how to be clear and concise, present their ideas with a logical structure, speak to their audience rather than for themselves.
Standalone Projects & Clinics
A short, focused program of dedicated coaching for the moments when your English really needs to deliver.
Whether you are preparing a keynote, major presentation or important public speaking engagement, I work with you on crafting your message, language, structure and delivery.
Coming soon: SHINE — a professional empowerment programme centred on confidence in English.

About me

I am a British national and a native English speaker. I have lived and worked in London, Paris, Copenhagen and Stockholm and have a deep appreciation of the dynamics of working cross-culturally. I speak French fluently and have a good command of Danish, Swedish and Spanish.

I have over 30 years of experience in business and academic institutions encompassing corporate marketing communications, journalism, language teaching, interpreting and coaching.

I began coaching French executives in 2016, initially helping entrepreneurs pitch their start-ups in English to international audiences. Since then, I’ve worked with executives across a wide range of roles, helping them communicate in English with greater self-assurance, ease and impact.

What drives me is seeing people grow in confidence and flair so they can take on any professional situation feeling capable and empowered.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s talk.
