English Coaching for International Women Leaders

My coaching sessions with Kelly were exceptional. From the first session, she created an environment where I felt supported and understood. She took the time to truly listen and tailored every piece of advice to what I personally needed. What really stood out was her ability to highlight my strengths, some of which I hadn’t even recognized in myself, and show me how to use them effectively in communication. Her patience, clarity, and practical strategies helped me make real improvements that I can already see in my daily life and work. I’m extremely grateful for the experience and would recommend Kelly to anyone looking to improve their communication and mindset around it.

 

From the very first session with Kelly, I knew I was in the right hands. She combines professionalism with empathy, ability to listen deeply to my needs, flexibility and adaptability in her approach.

Kelly’s style is the perfect balance of kindness and firmness. She creates a safe space for growth, while also challenging me to step out of my comfort zone.

Working with her has been a journey of discovery — not just about my leadership style, but also about myself and the mechanisms that shape our place, as women, in society.

Her Leadership Program is structured, guiding you through the essential pillars of leadership. It opened my eyes to patterns and challenges that many women face and offered practical tools to help me speak up, take space, and own my voice with confidence.

It’s more than leadership coaching — it’s a powerful process of liberation and self-acceptance.

Kelly has been incredibly helpful in guiding me on how to frame my meetings for maximum impact.

She helped me reflect on how I want others to see me, how I want my team members or meeting participants to feel, and how to structure my message with all these factors in mind.

Kelly provided me with invaluable tools and strategies to continue framing and leading effective meetings moving forward.

She is an amazing professional, and it has been a pleasure working with her. I’m confident I will be working with her again in the future!

Kelly is a talented coach and a lovely person to speak to. She helped me prepare for specific interviews by searching into my past experiences and personality, which was incredibly useful.

After every session, she sent notes to remind me what we had discussed and provided helpful tips for improvement.

We also practiced improvisation, something that I find very difficult to do, but she made it fun!

She was always proactive, knowledgeable, prepared, and warm when giving feedback. I felt comfortable during every class and looked forward to our sessions.

Thank you so much for your help.

A big thank you Kelly for your coaching for the preparation of my presentation.

I didn’t think you were going to help me so much to rework the power point, so that the message is relevant and impactful.

Some turns of phrase have even become almost slogans and I’m going to reuse them!

I also really appreciated your support in preparing for the oral, the method you put in place for that.

Thank you for your kindness, your patience and all the winning attitude you brought me!

Thanks to Kelly’s guidance, expertise and efficient methodology, I’ve gained confidence in my English speaking abilities.

I’m incredibly grateful for Kelly’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English skills and build their confidence.

I’ve seen a noticeable difference in my ability to lead English sessions on my different professional activities!

I’m very satisfied with every one of our coaching sessions.

Before contacting Kelly, I struggled with my English. I was full of doubts and judgments regarding my English level. I tried all the “usual” educational paths (English private lessons, grammar books…, etc.). However, nothing changed; I still felt uncomfortable and unconfident.

Kelly taught me how my brain works and how I can collaborate with it and stop working against it. It was amazing to discover that I am my own obstacle and judge myself.

During our sessions, Kelly listened to me carefully, respectfully, and kindly, without any judgment. I felt so confident expressing all my thoughts and beliefs in a peaceful area; it was awesome. Kelly helped me see my fears and doubts from a different perspective.

I recommend reaching out to Kelly if you want to release the power that you already have inside you.

 

 

Before working with Kelly, I was struggling with lack of confidence and social anxiety. My goal was to improve my English communication skills.
What I liked about our collaboration was Kelly’s personalised approach. She didn’t just focus on surface-level improvements; she dug deeper, creating a transformative experience.
Beyond enhancing my English communication skills, her approach provides insights, unwavering encouragement, and stimulating challenges.

Now, I feel more confident and empowered. Kelly’s coaching not only enhanced my English but also boosted my self-assurance.
I’m grateful for Kelly’s guidance. Her coaching has been a real game-changer for me, both personally and professionally.

Thanks, Kelly, for all your help.

I found the mindset work we did together insightful. Kelly helped me to go deeper and not stay on the surface, which is something I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own as my brain would have stopped me. I feel more relaxed than I used to when speaking English and I now have a toolbox of tools to help me speak more confidently.

I reached out to Kelly to address my challenges in the work environment. I’ve been experiencing moments of doubt and a lack of confidence, making it difficult to gain clarity on what’s working and what’s not. Together we’ve embarked on a journey to unblock mental obstacles, allowing me to explore the root causes, adopt a more balanced approach, and ultimately build confidence. I’m grateful for the work we’ve done and appreciate Kelly’s caring and supportive approach throughout this process.

I have been a wedding photographer since 2014, serving an international clientele. While my online presence and website are well-crafted, attracting and engaging clients, I’ve come to realize that my in-person communication during client meetings lacked fluency, organization, and persuasiveness. This led to a deflation of enthusiasm among clients who were initially excited to meet me but left disappointed after our meetings.

In contrast, during actual weddings, I excel in providing suggestions and appear as an expert in my field. It became evident that I needed to refine my communication during client meetings to convey the same level of expertise.

I discovered Kelly through a Google search, and the positive reviews, coupled with her expertise during our initial consultation call, convinced me that her guidance would be invaluable. We underwent an intensive coaching process over a few weeks to rework my approach, all conducted in English. Kelly asked insightful questions to identify keywords and refine the structure of my communication, demonstrating kindness and patience throughout.

After each coaching session, I received a summary via email, serving as a continuous reference for my ongoing improvement. To enhance the coaching, we engaged in role-playing exercises to practice, fine-tune, and address potential challenges I might encounter in real-life situations. Kelly generously provided advice to strengthen my mindset and confidence.

Now, I find joy in engaging with clients, a task I once dreaded. Thanks to Kelly’s insightful guidance, I am more confident and better equipped to face new challenges.

A littIe update since our coaching program: I was a speaker yesterday during a workshop for wedding suppliers, even though the class was a small group of 6 people, I first found that it would be too challenging for the introvert person I am. Then, I collect myself and train continuously with the clarity you taught me and I actually really enjoyed sharing my experience and my work.
I spoke slowly, avoiding the « euhh… » and shared my experience with a clear structure. People even clapped at the end!

I enjoyed the progression of the work to create a speech that I can use in different occasions. Also the way I learned how it should be organized and how I can divide the speech in smaller chunks with an anchor easily to remember.

I surely have more confidence before a speech and I have a clear mind on what to expect and how I can organize the speech beforehand. Also I had great teachings about the delivery.

I think the recap you send after each session is great and really helpful. I realized how useful it is just to review that and keep it fresh so it is easier to keep going.

 

 

Kelly is a great listener that creates a safe, low-pressure, and very friendly environment. During the sessions, we went deep to unveil personal misconceptions and worked on the core elements behind the thoughts that were holding me back. Her approach and ability make the process very enjoyable and tangible.
Being able to understand the root of my thoughts and that I am responsible for labelling those thoughts/feelings were a game changer for me. I have learned how to understand my thoughts and how I can become a good English communicator. By using the tools and resources shared during and after the sessions I have already seen improvements in my confidence and communication capabilities.
Kelly is a fantastic person who made a great impact on my life as a non-native English speaker. Thank you, Kelly, for guiding me through this amazing journey of reflection and improvement.

I like your patience and the way you find the root of my issue. You’re not like someone who just jump to conclusion and see my issue with English as a problem to be fixed. You emphasized that it is the tool that I was missing, and I just need some strategies to help me speak confidently. There’s nothing wrong about my English, and I should be proud of being a bilingual speaker. And I find that empowering. You are actually the first native speaker telling me this.
The strategies of preparing my mind are very helpful and in so doing I can reclaim my confidence. This actually worked. And I am so pleased to have learned these kinds of strategies. I think I become more confident in my English communication. I know more about how and why my mind blocks my English ability, and how I can fix that.
I also appreciated very much your last session that we worked together to refine my presentation. You’ve helped me make it more engaging and accessible.

Yesterday I filed all the documentation we produced during these coaching sessions and it was quite impressive!
Your rigor, the coherence in your expectations, and the notes you were sending after each session were a great help to keep me on track.
Knowing you personally made me feel comfortable in our communication. I was not embarrassed to make mistakes and our sessions were always joyful and productive.
This coaching helped me to feel confident again to speak English in a business environment.
Thank you also for all the tips and advice about LinkedIn.

Kelly is not only a good English teacher, she is also a wonderful professional Coach. With her, I learned to be confident again, to understand that English is just a great communication tool and to accompany me in my professional change. She constantly adapted our sessions to my needs and my professional orientation. Through our sessions in English, I was able to better understand what I wanted.

So, if you need to strengthen your English, I highly recommend you to take lessons with Kelly. This is not a traditional Business English course, it is communication in English with a caring and professional person.

Learning with Kelly is like meeting a good friend with whom you can either dive into professional matters or chat and choose among the five who’s your favorite spice girl! Whether during on line or on co-walking sessions she’ll help you moving your English and curiosity upwards together with regular and consistent written summaries. I really appreciated working with you Kelly and thank you for your professionalism and friendly coaching.

It’s easy to work with Kelly and I like the fact that she can adjust and be flexible. What I liked the most was her focus on the mindset foundations and her gentle reminders to go back and review what I think/what I want to feel about it. The most valuable thing to me was understanding how the brain works and I’ve learned some really powerful techniques which have helped me to think differently about my English communication and grow in confidence.

 

Our sessions were wonderful, effective and motivating! You helped me to find the best shape to explain my experience. I was able to be myself, more confident, speak clearly, stay simple. This got me to conduct effective interviews in English and finally to have a new job in a new company. I am now more confident, I don’t have fears when someone from other countries/regions calls me and starts to speak in English, when I ask a question or when I want to explain my opinion.

I was tired of feeling down, unheard and misunderstood. I really did not know where to look for help. I enjoyed working with Kelly, and working on my own ghosts. The results are that she helped me to bring from my unconscious to my conscious some fears and face them. I can now analyse myself and my thoughts clearly.

I realized that maybe what I really needed was something different. I needed to improve my self confidence to push myself beyond my deep barriers. We started coaching sessions and, step by step, I became who I really wanted to be: someone that isn’t scared of changing, who rises to the challenges and who doesn’t choose always her safe zone. Looking behind I see all the successes I got since Kelly is coaching me and now I couldn’t do without her!

Working with Kelly is a real pleasure, her professionalism, patience and interests in life are making her one of the best Coaches I’ve ever met. For me it was a real gift to find a mix of professional coaching and English. She supported me in my life challenges, like to join the EMBA program, and also shared my interests like psychology education. She is very passionate and her great sense of humor made me wait for each lesson. Her proper way of giving feedback helps to keep focus on language improvement. Her highly prepared way of working helped me with discipline. Thank you Kelly!!!

Kelly is much more than an English teacher, she’s really an English coach in the sense that she’s able to focus our main discussion on my personal interests and little by little we are sharing a lot about my way of life, my thoughts, my desires and my fears. And I have become aware that I can express myself in English, with depth. I can express a lot of ideas and emotions, I can share points of view extensively and discuss matters. I am so happy to realize that I have some good English bases which have been sleeping in my brain for 20 years, and Kelly has managed for the past 4 months to show me them and to improve them. The consequence of this is that I have gained more confidence. And gaining more confidence, I am happy to speak in English, I speak more, I enjoy writing in English too, I watch movies and I listen to radios programs… Well, I am surprising myself. I am waiting for this day when I will be able to dream and think in English, and I am sure that it will come soon… because after each lesson, Kelly sends to me a lot of tools to improve my vocabulary and my grammar and it’s so useful!
And the most important thing is that Kelly is really attentive. Her kindness, her gentleness and her constant positive support mean that I am waiting with pleasure for each lesson. Thank you so much Kelly for your help and your sincere enthusiasm!!

I have acquired a lot from Kelly, she is professional, she is able to help me to elevate myself to the next level.

Kelly is the best English coach that I have ever met. She is a good listener. She listens deeply and observes, then illuminates what lies beneath the surface that holds me back or moves me forward.

She helps me to clarify my dilemma/problems through a list of insightful questions at and after each coaching session. After each session, Kelly sent a very detailed session note to follow up.  She is amazingly resourceful and focused. It was really a fruitful journey. Kelly helps me to create more space for myself, and now I have greater peace of mind.

I always recommend Kelly to friends who have a hump to get over or just need a third party to help them get unstuck.

Grâce à Kelly, sa patience, ses cours très bien ciblés, son authenticité … j’ai vraiment progressé au point de me lancer le défi de partir en terre anglophone seule. Je me suis super bien débrouillée.
Thanks to Kelly, her patience, her personalized lessons, her authenticity… I’ve really improved to the extent that I even set myself the challenge of travelling to England alone. It went really well.

A great pleasure to share 1:1 course with Kelly. Her approach is very hopeful and exciting. After only 10 lessons, I feel more confident with my English! Thank you Kelly!

I have been working with Kelly for a whole year. For me this is a great achievement. Kelly is energetic and proactive, able to catch and develop an interesting and useful discussion. She is not only an excellent teacher of English, but also a coach in self-development. Tips and explanations after each lesson that Kelly sends by email help to consolidate.

When I was assigned to a regional position after I had worked for local roles for the past 16 years, I realized that the situation was much tougher than I anticipated mainly due to my English proficiency and gaps in cultural diversity. I want to tell ‘be prepared before you get into that situation’. However, if you are in a situation similar to mine, you may have a hope. It won’t be too late if you can find an outstanding coach like Kelly. I learned how I can speak better in concise and succinct way, how to make successful presentation and how to obtain desired outcomes from fierce debate and competitions. I prefer to call her a coach, instead of an English teacher, because she carefully listened to me, healed me and provided solutions even when my mental collapsed. Now, I am somewhat confident of my English skills, because I now know how to speak concisely, listen carefully and understand context, ask at the right time and how to continue the whole conversation. I’m so glad I have been able to regularly study with Kelly for the past 3 years, and I will continue to improve my communication skills with her help.

Thank you, Kelly for encouraging me. I’m feeling more confident than before. It was very kind teaching and coaching. So helpful for me.

My favorite teacher ever!

I’ve been studying English since I was 6 and I can definitely say I have never met a coach like Kelly! Her lessons are extremely fine-tuned to student needs and skills and this makes the interaction very comfortable. After only two months I’m feeling more confident and definitely able to understand native speakers better and to speak in public. She’s the person you have to choose if you want really to stand out from the crowd and make an impact in English!
