Authority isn't about a perfect accent
Many professionals who speak English as a second language are highly capable in their field, yet hold back in meetings, presentations and Q&As because they worry about how they sound.
Dan Deighton works with non-native English speakers who want to speak clearly and with authority. The goal isn't a perfect accent. It's being understood, being heard and being taken seriously.
Think of Dan as an English communication coach for professionals, focused on speaking clearly and with authority at work.
What you'll work on
- Speaking clearly and with authority
- Feeling confident and composed when presenting, especially in Q&As
- Being heard and taken seriously by senior leaders
- Thinking on your feet under pressure
- Pitching to investors, clients and boards
The Confident Communicator Sprint for non-native speakers
Dan's Confident Communicator Sprint is five 1-hour sessions over five weeks, covering how to build your authority and how to present and speak in public. There's a dedicated version for non-native English speakers.
If you have a specific occasion coming up soon, such as an interview, a webinar or a pitch, the 7-day Emergency Sprint focuses on getting you ready for that. For longer-term development, see the Executive Presence Partner.
