Make sure it's OUR female leaders that get that spot

Let's stop losing our best female talent

Sound familiar?

Women don't come back after maternity leave.
You would welcome more female leaders but no women apply.
Women feel that they need to wait until their kids are bigger before they can take on more.
Women get told that they're not ready.
Women don't feel that they are being taken seriously.
Women are over-sensitive.

I'm Corinne Wilhelm, the founder of English Speaking Experts, and we're on a mission...

..to get women comfortable with taking a seat at the leadership table and on boards, especially in male dominated industries.

I focus on making my communication tips memorable with
- a healthy dose of humour,
- business storytelling and international anecdotes
- easy, actionable strategies.

With my tough love feedback, your top talent will recognise and optimise their strengths, where women pull together to secure inspiring careers.

We're working as a strong team of international leadership trainers, each with their unique specialism. We'll facilitate an exciting transformation from expert to leader with an appetite for more, ideally on stage at next year's symposium.

You'll notice that these women are

  • More Confident

    • Confidence comes with practice and the opportunity to make mistakes in a safe space

    • We'll provide each other with respectful, constructive, specific feedback. Then improve.

  • More credible and respected

    • Tailoring communication to have a bigger impact on decision makers.

    • Giving these women the confidence to try out communication styles and rhetorical devices that are more convincing and impactful.

  • More involved & engaged

    • Following the consultancy and training for the leaders and board members, you will notice women speaking up more

    • Taking responsibility for intentionally creating a corporate culture that attracts female leaders.

    • Measuring the transition, making D&I visible, impactful and rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I cannot find 10 women with availability?

    With just one spot, once you have signed up you pay the full price whether you have 10 women or not, we can advise you on how to find them, we have a checklist for situations like this and we cover it in the free diversity consultation series.

  • How will I know if the participants have good enough English?

    Don't worry, I will speak to every participant and if they just need a refresher I have a VoiceVantage Programme that your participants can have access to for ONE MONTH for free. (They're normally better in English than they realise, they just need practice - We can start in German if you prefer)

  • Will the participants need a visa to get into the UK?

    Unfortunately yes but it is a very simple, affordable process which your travel department will be able to help you with.

  • Why is it only for women?

    In my experience women open up more and gain more value from the leadership training when they are in a safe space of women only. Securing psychological safety at the beginning of a leadership training programme is faster and more effective when the women don't feel judged by male colleagues and bosses. We welcome male allies in the consultancy and leadership training phase.

  • What is the application procedure?

    • We jump on a call to discuss your organisation's concerns, needs, problems and goals in terms of female empowerment. This is a tailor made solution for your company.
