“I could speak fluently, but I used to sound robotic. By training with Tannia, my confidence and fluidity have significantly increased. I have learned to be more eloquent and to communicate more effectively when it comes to topic transitions or difficult conversations.

Tannia is a very authentic person and is able to provide clients powerful and versatile communication tools that can be employed in daily conversations, in negotiations or in meetings.

She has helped me to better structure complex topics in work emails and to present results concisely and effectively in meetings based on different examples. The main focus, however, has been on communication including improving leadership skills by providing me with different communication tools.

Recently, an American client told me that she’s really impressed with my English. It felt awesome. Thanks, Tannia, for your support!" — Chris G. | Germany
