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
Individual coaching programmes tailored to your professional role. I design bespoke sessions around your unique priorities and day-to-day interactions using material related to your field, ensuring our work is always current and relevant. Everything is immediately applicable, boosting your fluency and impact from day one.
Workshops for Groups
Interactive, high-energy workshops for teams who want to become more impactful communicators in English. Participants learn how to be clear and concise, structure their ideas logically and adapt their message to their audience. I create bespoke materials specifically for your teams, making every workshop unique, practical and relevant.
Priority projects
Focused, individual coaching for one-off projects and short-notice requests. Whether you’re preparing a major presentation, important meeting or a job interview, I’m available when you need targeted support. We work intensively on your message, language, structure and delivery, giving you the confidence and impact to perform at your best.
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.
