About Me

My name is Cleta. I’m a native English speaker and a TEFL-Certified ESL Teacher with 5 years of teaching experience (4 years online). I have a Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Leadership from Mercer University and a Master of Applied Science in Nonprofit Leadership from Capella University.

During my ESL career I have enjoyed teaching English math, writing, reading and storytelling to my K-12 students. I have also had the pleasure of working with adult learners from 5 different continents about: business ownership and leadership, business management, travel, health, life in the digital age, and a variety of other relevant world topics. We also practice talking about graphs, writing and storytelling.

I have found the work of guiding my students on the journey to personal, professional and career development to be quite the rewarding experience. My favorite aspect of this work is learning something interesting and new each day.

Experience / Qualifications

I am a life-learner and I believe; we never stop learning and we never stop growing. The never-ending acquisition of knowledge yields constant growth. Accordingly, I have found the constant discovery and learning about different groups, cultures and concepts from across the globe, to be the most rewarding aspect of this work. I absolutely love being able to connect with people from all over the world. The past 4 years of being a Virtual ESL Teacher have broadened my horizons beyond belief, an invaluable experience I could never dream of having, working in a standard corporate environment. Furthermore, I enjoy engaging my students in a wide range of thought-provoking conversations, on an assortment of different topics.

The world and life experience of: attending a four-year college; graduate school; serving as Chair over a few boards during this time; and years of work in the community; have developed me into an individual with a far-reaching vocabulary, and the capacity to connect with and engage students from a variety of different backgrounds. Already an outgoing individual, this experience has also granted me, the capacity to engage in discussion with adult learners on a wide range of topics. Additionally, my superior writing skills have made me a favorite among students preparing for entrance exams, as well as those embarking on a new career or beginning a journey with a new company.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.
