The employee
Today
Knows what they want to say, but says it at length or hesitantly. An expert searching for words looks less expert.
After 3 months with Spica
Their expertise shows in English too: they explain clearly, convince and inspire trust.

Your team is excellent.
In English, that excellence shows less.

What changes
What English costs you today, and what changes in 3 months
The director
Today
Hesitates to give certain people a project, a client or a presentation in English.
After 3 months with Spica
Can count on the whole team, in English too: delegates with confidence and keeps their time to grow the company.
The company
Today
English topics rest on a few people. To play it safe, international projects and clients go to competitors.
After 3 months with Spica
More people at ease in English: more opportunities taken, more growth.

What worked
A clear three-point structure, and a good client example.
To work on
- 1. The main idea comes after a long introduction.Start with what the client gains.
- 2. “very” and “really” come up often.Replace them with a figure or a concrete example.
- 3. “Um” just before the key points.Pause briefly, then say the key sentence.
Exercise of the week
Present the same solution in 90 seconds and record yourself.
