Experience

I have taught in Japan, Italy, Germany, Singapore and the UK. As a trainer, I have worked in a range of multinational companies across a wide range of industries including, banking, retail, automotive and chemical.

In Italy, I provided in-company training to clients at FIAT and its subsidiary IVECO, the major banks; Banca Intesa and Sao Paulo. The courses focused on business communication skills such as negotiating, presenting, telephoning, email writing and presenting.

I have trained groups of apprentices, engineers and managers in-company at DOW chemicals based in Germany; devised and implemented the testing that was used to measure trainees’ progress.

In the UK, I started an English language training service which provides tailored courses to individuals and groups. My team of trainers provide bespoke training to a range of companies in London. With my experience as a director of my own company and extensive cross-cultural training experience in the corporate world, I have developed an excellent understanding of what skills are required to be an effective communicator in a wide range of business settings.

Comments from participants on my courses include:

‘The trainer was friendly and the course objectives were clearly defined. The course content met my specific needs very well and Lisa’s training ability was excellent.’

‘I found the training very helpful. I’ve passed my IELTS exam and got a better mark than I had aimed for, which is brilliant!’

‘Lisa was always well-prepared. She was able to tailor the training to my individual learning objectives.’
