Professionals in Multinational Corporations

In an increasingly global marketplace, more people today work outside of their own culture. They often experience misunderstandings and confusions in interacting with colleagues and bosses from different cultures. Coaching topics may include relationships in the workplace, career development, effective communication skills with Americans, time management, and presentation skills in English.

How many of the following are true for you?

• I am very frustrated at work because I always have my own ideas to share in a group meeting, but I lose the chance to say it while I am thinking how I should say things “right” in English.
• I wonder if people see me not contributing to the work team because I can not speak up like my American colleagues in a group meeting.
• I am often confused in communication with my American boss and colleagues.
• I often have the opportunity to do a presentation in English, but I’m not looking forward to do it because I’m not good at it.
• I don’t know how to write “good” emails in English.
• I don’t know what my career goals are.
• I often think whether or not my current job is really matching my strengths and personality.
• I find myself giving up pursuing my dream job because I think it’s too late to start something new, especially now.

Professionals who work with a coach often report that they:

Improve communication effectiveness

• Become more able to speak up and share their ideas actively in a group meeting.
• Become less frustrated about the different communication styles between Americans and Japanese.
• Adjust their communication style to build stronger relationships with Americans.

Refine career goals

• Proactively explore possibilities in their career direction and work toward it, rather than waiting for their environment to change.
• Learn how to utilize their strengths in their job.
• Act authentically in the workplace aligned with your inner values.

Experience skill enhancement

• Improve confidence when speaking in front of people by building presentation skills.
• Write simple, organized, and uncomplicated email messages in English.

What makes Lylus Coaching unique and special?

I have worked in a multinational corporation with colleagues from many different countries, and have a wealth of knowledge as an intercultural specialist. I witnessed misunderstandings in the workplace due to communication styles differences, and wrong assumptions based on different cultural values. Through these experiences and as a trainer, I developed a great insight into understanding people’s personalities, learning styles, and how to best support them.
