About me

Hello,

No matter how good of a professional you are, you will always only be as good as your communication is.

Your communication skills will be decisive in your career and personal life. 
With the experience gathered, the skills and knowledge would be wasted if not used to help others on the same or similar career path.

Communication
training


This workshop was created because we found the need from all the great conversations we had.

It is dedicated to all those who wonder at least a few times in life how to explain to people that they think, feel and see the world differently without feeling that this makes them less normal, less acceptable or less valuable.

Testimonials

"Ingrid has a unique ability to go across cultures and language barriers to create a common understanding of the subject matter. Her training and development skills are based on her core philosophy of treating everyone with respect and understanding that not all people develop at the same rate. No matter the complexity or criticality of a situation her training skills are able to provide practical solutions and methods. Her calm demeanor radiates through and her focus on opportunities to improve versus the negative connotation of the word problem are evident throughout."

Richard Hopkins 

Managing Director XLS Solutions

"I have been working with Ingrid for more than 15 years as a supplier. English is our common language but is not our natural tongues. Throughout this time the communication has been easy due to her ability to explain her needs in a way that has allowed me to deliver and ultimately grow the business relationship. She is tough, fair and focussed. As a business owner it is all I can ask for. I know if she is training and developing people the, and there, future is going to bright"

Tomas Vojta

CEO, Sigmaplast a.s.

"As a lawyer, I often rely on Ingrid’s exceptional communication and expression skills to bridge the gap between legal and operational or commercial perspectives. She has an outstanding ability to explain complex technical matters with clarity and efficiency, adapting her approach to suit her audience. This is especially valuable when legal professionals like myself, who use specialized jargon, are working hand-in-hand with operational or commercial teams with their own industry-specific language. Ingrid then ensures that everyone understands exactly what they need to know, leaving no detail overlooked or misunderstood. I believe that her talent for fostering clear, effective communication is rare and invaluable in any professional environment."
