english for meetings
workshop goals
Meetings have become increasingly international in today’s business
world. Our English for Meetings workshop is aimed at managers,
high-potentials and employees who take part in or run meetings in
English or are preparing to do so. The focus on the language of
meetings equips participants with the linguistic tools they need to be
able to take part more successfully in international meeting situations.
what is a workshop?
Workshops are designed for the practice of English in a business
context. At least half of the workshop time is spent learning the
English language itself and on the improvement of grammar, conversation
ability and vocabulary. For courses with a focus on specific
communication skills (e.g. presentations or negotiations) please see
our seminar offering under coaching.

- Body language in meeting situations
- Small talk before, during and after the meeting
- Language and culture in meetings
- Optional: Teleconferencing – a particularly challenging meeting situation
