What, Why & How
In today’s international business world, the ability to present in English is essential.
Success on the world stage can be assured when you master your presentation in English, and learn awareness of the cultural distinctions/peculiarities of English speaking audiences.
After over 25 years of working as presenters in a foreign language (German), AOC has designed powerful techniques which serve to support a non-native speaker in becoming a confident presenter.
AOC teaches you to gain more confidence presenting in English by using a variety of tools and techniques.
Here is an overview:
