ABOUT ME
WHAT I'VE DONE
Through my work in culturally sensitive environments, with different nationalities and ethnic groups I realised the significance of culture in developing strategies, aiding communication and building bridges.
WHAT I DO
I help people communicate across cultures and inspire clients to achieve more than they thought they could; through variety, realism, originality and fun.
WHO I AM
I’m an administration loathing optimist and trainer who, when I hear the phrase, “because we’ve always done it like that,” wonders if there is a better way. I value passion over prosperity every time.
ACCREDITED LECTURER
Having studied the theoretical and practical insights into the Multi-focus model on organisational culture based on over thirty years of experience.
I have been Accredited by Hofstede Insights to show that I am sufficiently knowledgeable to teach the model on Strategy, Culture and Change as a lecturer.
ACCREDITED LECTURER
I am Accredited by Belbin UK to be an autonomous practitioner in providing role diagnosis of team, individual and job requirement profiles.
Furthermore, I have shown that I am sufficiently knowledgeable to teach about the impact of Belbin on team role dynamics.
Culture is THE strategy
Whilst the software of machines may be globalised, the software of the minds that use them is not.
People from different cultures do things differently; there are no good or bad cultures per se – just different. That’s what makes the world so fascinating but it can make doing business so frustrating — and challenging.
What all this tells us is that any business strategy that fails to consider culture could see it loosing, rather than closing, that important deal.
Teaching language is not enough.
Global communication may be thriving, but so too are the barriers to efficient communication between cultures.
Therefore, I teach communication.
There’s more to English than language
By using an intelligent mix of language, culture and communication, I am able to deliver a quality product and guarantee high levels of satisfaction.
My Values
– Optimism over pessimism
– Formation is more important than Administration
– Passion over prosperity
– Inspiration over stagnation.
TESTIMONIALS

Outre la pratique de l'anglais cette formation va me permettre de travailler mon management (directe et transversal) avec les différentes filiales du groupe dans le monde, en effet en plus de savoir comment parler j'ai appris à mieux interpréter et appréhender leur culture et ça c'est un énorme avantage !

Martin est le professeur qu’on a tous rêvé d’avoir : riche, chaleureux, intéressant, impliqué dans notre réussite. A son contact, j’ai non seulement pratiqué l’anglais, mais également appris à conduire un entretien d’embauche avec des anglais, des hollandais … et ça marche !!!

Très bénéfique, adapte à ma situation, professionnel et non scolaire (ce qui est rare) , avec de nombres mises en situation. J’ai autant progresse en 6 mois qu’en 6 ans.

Je garde un très bon souvenir de notre discussion sur la gestion interculturelle. Je vous félicite pour l’initiative de création de votre structure. Je suis sûr qu’elle aura du succès.

Je garde de très bons souvenirs de vos cours d’anglais, je regrette de ne pas pratiquer davantage. Je devais faire encore des cours cette année mais ils n’ont pas démarré, ce ne sera peut-être pas vous alors Je fais suivre…
