Software engineering is a complex skill requiring a lot from the engineers engaged in it. It isn't the only process which fits this description. To get the best from them you need to understand a lot about your people, how to get the best from them, how to setup the organisation, what does and doesn't work in different cultured. I have worked in many countries from the far east to America, from the frozen north of Finland to the heat of India. The people are as different as the countries and you will need to adjust your style depending on who you are working with, this course contains tips on this. I have managed small projects with just a couple of people to hundreds on multi million pound multi year programs, maintaining motivation over such things depends on many things and I can show you a good number of them. Coping with the demand to know 'when will it be ready' is a skill in its own, how do you estimate, how do you predict, what do you do when someone wants it quicker. There are different techniques for management of projects - 'waterfall', 'v-model', 'spiral', 'agile' to cover a few, what are the differences, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each, how to choose the right one for your project and organisation. Reporting, not just pretty graphs but how to find out the TRUTH so you know what to say and don't look a fool in a months (or even an hours) time.

I provide personalised English coaching for professionals and business people who want to communicate more confidently and effectively in international environments. My lessons are practical and tailored to each student’s individual needs, level and professional situation. Rather than following a standard textbook programme, I focus on the English you actually need for your work and everyday professional communication. Sessions can include Business English, conversation and fluency, presentations, meetings and negotiations, professional vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and accuracy, and preparation for interviews or important professional situations. I also work with students to identify recurring mistakes and communication habits that may be holding them back. We then address these systematically through conversation, targeted exercises and regular feedback. With extensive international business and consulting experience, I can also help experienced professionals develop the language, confidence and communication style needed when working with international colleagues, clients and senior management. My approach is supportive, practical and conversation-focused. The objective is not simply to improve your English, but to help you communicate naturally, clearly and confidently when it matters.
