Corporate programs

Coaching for tech and data teams at international companies

When a company changes fast, with new AI tools, reorganisations and new roles, how people explain their work decides how well the change lands. I run fixed-length programs for managers and specialists who work in English with headquarters, clients and senior stakeholders, with something concrete to show after every session and a 90-day plan at the end.

What management needs right now

Change lands through how people communicate

Most companies are rolling out AI, reorganising teams and asking more of fewer managers. The technical work gets done. What slows things down is how clearly people explain it, to their teams, to leadership and to clients.

  • Managers carrying the changeThey have to explain new tools, new structures and hard decisions clearly, to their teams and upwards, often in a second language.
  • Specialists in front of clients and executivesStrong analysis that doesn’t turn into a clear recommendation in the meeting that matters.
  • New managersGood engineers and analysts stepping into their first lead role, with stakeholders and expectations they haven’t handled before.
  • People moving after a reorganisationMoving into a new role inside the company, or preparing to find one outside it.
Who I work with

Built for two kinds of team

Data, analytics and insights teams

Analysts, data scientists and client-facing consultants who turn data into recommendations for clients and senior stakeholders. We work on structuring the story behind the numbers, presenting it simply and handling challenging questions.

Engineering teams in international development centers

Engineers and engineering managers who work every day with product teams and leaders at headquarters, across time zones. We work on design reviews, status updates, disagreeing constructively and being heard in meetings with senior people.

Corporate programs
In every program

Every session ends with something done

Participants don’t just listen. Each week they leave with something finished: a clearer project update, a practiced presentation, a stakeholder map, a difficult-conversation script.

  • The PAR method and role-plays throughout
  • Recording and playing back practice, so people hear themselves
  • Advice for specific markets: the UK, US, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland
  • Homework between sessions
  • A monthly check on progress against the plan

Standard for HR and L&D in every company program

  • A needs analysis with HR or L&D before the program starts
  • An assessment for each participant at the start and at the end
  • Progress updates for HR at the midpoint and at the end, with each participant’s agreement and without anything said in private sessions
  • Workshops to choose from: navigating change, AI-ready management, storytelling for executives, retaining high performers, managing low performance, managing careers, and balancing business goals with what the team can do
  • A signed certificate of completion for each participant, with the level reached for English programs
  • One invoice to the company
How it starts

We check it’s a good fit before anyone commits

  1. A short form

    Each participant tells me their current role, the role or level they’re aiming for, the market and their biggest obstacle.

  2. A first consultation

    30 minutes to agree the format and make sure it’s a good fit.

  3. Assessment

    In the first session I assess where each participant is and write a plan for them.

  4. Weekly sessions

    Same day and time each week, online. Sessions can be recorded if everyone agrees.

Questions

Corporate program questions

Are prices per participant?

Yes. Where the price lands within each range depends on what we agree in the first consultation. For two to four people, I also run paired and small-group programs.

Can tracks be combined?

Yes. Yes. The program is tailored to the participant's work situations, such as senior stakeholder meetings, interviews for internal promotion, or challenging leadership conversations.

What English level do participants need?

Working professional English (B2 or above). If language is the main barrier, communication coaching is a better place to start.

Will managers and HR get progress updates?

Yes. The company gets a short written progress note for each participant at the midpoint and at the end of the program, with the participant’s agreement. Notes cover goals, attendance and progress, never what someone said in a private session.

Can sessions fit our time zone?

Yes. Sessions are online, and I schedule them for teams in both the US and Europe.

Can we start small?

Yes. Prices are per participant, so you can start with one or two people and add a group program later.

Do you provide invoices?

Yes. I can send invoices and receipts whenever you need them.

Do participants get a certificate?

Yes. Each participant who completes a program gets a certificate of completion signed by me, with the program, sessions and dates and, for English programs, the CEFR level they reached, based on a final assessment. It’s a Fluent in Tech certificate, not an exam certificate, and it fits neatly into your training records. See a sample certificate.

How it worksEvery session follows the same rhythm.

A predictable structure means less time on logistics and more time practicing. Each 90-minute session runs like this:

MinutesSegmentWhat happens
15Field reportEach person shares what they tried since the last session: what worked, what didn’t and what they noticed.
20The frameworkOne practical model, explained with tech-world examples and the exact language to use it.
30Live practiceRole-plays in pairs and trios on your own scenarios, with feedback from me and the group.
20Peer case clinicOne participant brings a live situation. The group asks questions, offers options and challenges assumptions.
5CommitmentYou name one specific thing you will do at work before the next session.
Between sessions
