Executive Communication Coaching for International Work

Do you have an important professional situation coming up in English or German? You may be preparing to defend your doctoral thesis, present to around 100 people, lead an important meeting, have a difficult one-to-one conversation, or speak with an employee about a conflict. You know your subject; the challenge is finding the right words and expressing your expertise clearly when it matters.

In our confidential 1:1 work, I focus entirely on the situation you bring. We work on what you need to say, how you want to say it, and the questions or reactions you may need to handle. Bring the notes or documents directly relevant to the situation; we agree in advance what I can review.

Tell me when it is happening. I’ll promptly check what support can fit the time available. Regular English or German lessons build language skills over time; here, I draw on more than 25 years of teaching and international experience to prepare you for the professional situation in front of you.

You do not need to describe yourself as an executive for this to be the right place.

We work with your real situations — not a standard curriculum.

Two ways we can work together

Executive 1:1

For one specific situation, task, or communication challenge. Perhaps you have a presentation, an important conversation, a meeting, a Q&A, or a new international responsibility coming up. In Executive 1:1, we use a clear and limited framework to work on what you want to say and how you would like it to come across.

How I work

You bring your expertise, your context, and your own way of communicating. I support you in structuring your thoughts clearly, using language that feels right for you, and preparing for conversations or questions that matter to you.

I do not take over your professional decisions or speak for you. The aim is for you to sound like yourself, as clearly as possible, in an international setting.

Confidentiality

Our 1:1 work is confidential. What we discuss in our sessions stays between us unless you explicitly agree otherwise.

About the material check

We agree on the scope and materials in advance. The material check is deliberately limited to the documents that are directly relevant to our work together.

When your employer is involved

If your employer arranges or pays for the work, you still work directly with me. We agree on practical details such as invoicing and appointments before we begin.

Testimonials

Profile picture of Jose Ignacio Topete

“When I started working in Germany, my German was already at a good level, but using it in a professional environment was a different challenge. I knew my job and had the experience, but it was not always easy to express myself with the same confidence and precision in German.

Working with Nina was very different from a traditional language course. We focused on situations from my actual work — meetings, presentations, conversations with colleagues and customers, and finding the right way to communicate my ideas clearly. I could bring whatever was relevant at the time, whether it was something I wanted to prepare for or a situation I wanted to look at afterwards.

What I appreciated most was the trust we built over time. I could talk openly about difficult situations at work, knowing that our conversations were confidential. Nina always treated me as a professional first, not simply as a German learner. She helped me find the right words and express myself more naturally without changing what I wanted to say.

Today, I feel at home in Germany and confident in my professional environment. Being able to communicate more clearly and naturally in German has definitely helped me get there.”

A first step

You are welcome to send me a few lines about what is coming up or the situations that are on your mind. We can then look together at whether Executive 1:1 or Ongoing International Communication Support would be the more useful framework.
