1:1 coaching in English

Turn an English conversation into a coaching conversation and work towards professional goals

There are many people who now have an advanced level of English and continue to receive traditional English classes. In many cases, these classes have turned into mere conversation classes that offer little value to the student.

However, we can approach this differently, there is a much better option.

If we replace an everyday conversation with a ‘coaching conversation’ and add a methodology which focuses on improving pronunciation and grammatical accuracy, we won’t only start to see improvements in the coachee’s English, but the coachee will make important progress towards the achievement of other professional goals.

Business learning solutions coaching

Programme of 4-8 fortnightly sessions each of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes duration.

During the session the coach/teacher will note language errors but will not correct the coachee at this stage so as not to distract him/her.

Once the actual coaching part of the session has finished, the coach/teacher will give feedback on the coachee’s linguistic errors.

On completion of the agreed number of coaching sessions, (usually between 4-8), personalised English classes will be prepared based on the language weaknesses detected thoughout the coaching sessions.

«I had the pleasure to work with Janice. The objective was to craft an effective message thanks to introduce a combination of rational & emotional appeal in my talk. The result was impressive, because it was beyond the information and we were able to create a powerful conclusion which influenced in the decision taken after the presentation.»
Marisa DuránHead of Market Access & Customer Excellence, BD
«A true Guidance for focusing my efforts» is the phrase that summarizes my experience with Janice. The coaching Janice provided on an individual basis gave me valuable insight and helped me accentuate and build upon my strengths and gain confidence. Janice was also instrumental in helping me identify my motivation factors and in developing a strategy to focus on them.»
Cristina ValdivielsoHR Manager, Carestream Health
“I had the opportunity to have 4 coaching sessions with Janice Haywood from Business Learning solutions. The coaching program was designed to enhance my communication abilities (persuasion, impact, emotion & build rapport). From the very beginning we were able to build a very dynamic and productive coach – coachee relationship. The sessions were intense but at the same time very attractive (having them in English was an additional challenge worth the effort). I could feel my progress in each of them, as Janice was able to guide me to my desired targets at the same time that she provided the means for me to work independently on the desired objectives (support materials, references to internet websites, etc). I have to admit that I could not imagine that I would be able to get that much progress in only 4 sessions. My learnings are already helping me in my actual position. I believe that having the chance to work with Janice and Business Learning solutions is an opportunity that no professional with the aim of growing should miss.”
José Miguel Vicente SánchezGate Gourmet, Regional Director Operations Planning and Controlling Western Europe
“I recommend Janice as an excellent business coach. Her listening skills are second to none and she displays enormous empathy in the coaching sessions which have allowed me to express myself in an atmosphere of total trust and confidence. She employs an amazing methodology which has allowed me to get really clear on my goals and discover the best way to achieve them.”
Pilar Garcia del OlmoDeputy General Manager, Julià Miami LLC
“Janice starts her program by helping the coachee to deeply explore the topic that is the focus for development. She then challenges the person to find ways to identify the root cause of the issues, agree on specific actions to undertake, criteria to measure progress against and finally we design a plan to evaluate progress . Janice has the skill to lead difficult sessions where the areas of focus are not so tangible and evident. She has great intuition and is able to build trust and make the person feel open and comfortable during the process. The format of complementing the coaching with English language training is very innovative and useful: you have the chance to work on your errors in English easily and with no additional effort and time spent only on English classes. Additionally the topics chosen to focus on your mistakes are related to your areas of interest during the coaching, which makes the English sessions doubly valuable.”
