Training and Consulting
My training and consulting work with clients has helped professionals prepare for and negotiate complex and stressful interview processes with many well-known companies and institutions, and academics edit and publish academic articles in peer-reviewed journals, and business owners prepare and polish their soft skills in English for high-pressured business meetings and negotiations from the business boardroom to the diplomatic and ministerial levels. I have helped actors and actresses prepare for audition processes, improved their delivery and diction in English, and I have provided basic accent coaching. I also have provided accent voice coaching for singers. This training and consulting work is also deeply influenced and fuelled by my guiding rules and principles. Many actors and actresses receive a combination of both services.
Training and consulting in a nutshell
" My consulting work is a bespoke, hard-to-find service that has been catering to the exacting needs of dozens of academics and professors. It is some of the most challenging work that I do. To be face to face with experts in their field and to meet their standards of academic excellence often in very complex and advanced fields of inquiry. As with all my clients and students, I feel very privileged and honoured to help academics reach their publishing goals and targets. Academics and professors I have worked with have been amazingly patient and kind in explaining their complex ideas, arguments, research, evidence, and data, while I am in the role of student slash language consultant, and this helps to create a highly effective and proven-to-work synergistic cooperation. "
" Both my interview coaching and coaching for actors and actresses, and singers, brings together my rules, principles, and insights from guiding, to create a holistic service. I endeavour to create a space in which individuals unlock their full range and spectrum of abilities and capacities, under mock stress and pressure. I drill individuals on embodying the rules and principles of behaviour that can lead to longterm results in an infamously competitive, challenging, and stressful industry. I often tell my clients, an investment made in such training and guidance now, can offset potential future crises caused by stress, conflict, or disappointment. Most of all I love the work I do with actors and actresses, as they are some of the most receptive individuals to embodied practices. "
“ A consultant is someone who saves his client almost enough to pay his fee. ”

My consulting work has helped academics and professors publish English articles in peer-reviewed journals. Academics usually explain the nature of their field and the concepts, ideas, and data behind their articles and research, and I edit and improve the language to ensure that the English is accepted by reviewers. I have worked with academics in fields such as philosophy, psychology, pharmacy, pharmacognosy, medical sciences, chemical engineering, and other engineering fields.
I provide a very bespoke, hard-to-find service, compared to large editing and consulting concerns. Clients are able to express their precise needs and the subtleties of their field and work, and I am very sensitive to ensuring an academic's work is fairly and accurately represented in English without loss of sense and the author's natural style, voice, and authority. I am willing and happy to visit academics at their place of work, to really understand their work and ensure a close cooperation during editing and proofreading.

My training and coaching for interviews is an extension of my English teaching and guiding work. I help clients to prepare for specific interviews. First, we examine carefully the target company and organisation, and job specifications. Second, I endeavour to understand a client's work history and behaviour, to best adapt their experience, abilities, and character traits to the job specifications and needs. Third, we practice detailed interview questions and scenarios, using some of the most well-known interview protocols.
One of the most important components of interview training and coaching is for clients to have the opportunity to practice and rehearse what is expected to happen, and can unexpectedly happen, in interviews. As with anything it is only consistent practice and training that prepares and readies the mind for challenging and stressful situations. Former clients have succeeded interviews to top-tier universities including the University of Oxford, and companies and organisations including PWC, Goldman Sachs, Facebook, Google, Frontex…

My training and coaching for actors and actresses is another of my unique services catering to people looking for a bespoke, hard-to-find service. I have helped actors and actresses work on diction, accent, delivery, while also incorporating my rules, principles, and insights from my guiding service, to create a unique experience of helping actors and actresses face the stresses and strains of auditions and casting.
Actors and actresses are often thrown into a wildly competitive environment, with woefully little preparation. My services aid such individuals to unlock their full scale and range of abilities irrespective of the stresses and strains created by casting agents and managers in any given moment. Actors and actresses also find themselves in the midst of various political games that the acting industry is infamous for. I help to navigate that world in the most healthy manner, by nurturing a character approach that neither falls prey, nor needs to retaliate in response or kind. Thanks to such guidance actors report being able to better navigate conflict, passive aggression, abusive power dynamics, and more.
The academic consulting that I provide is a unique bespoke, hard-to-find service.
Consulting sessions can take place online or at an academics place of work. The usual format to my consulting involves, academics explaining the essential concepts and ideas of their work and research, this preliminary work is essential to understanding a given research paper, and editing and proofing it to the best possible standard while preserving the author's style, voice, and authority.
Sessions usually are 1.5 to 2 hrs. After familiarity with an author's work and research, consultation sessions may only take 1 hr.
All work and consultations can be documented using digital documents, Word documents, and recorded for further and future reference if needed, online using for example the call-record function in Skype, or in person using a simple camera set up.
Previous and current clients include academics and professors from the University of Warsaw, Warsaw Medical University, Warsaw University of Technology, Seoul National University…
