Do Your Fears Block Your Professional Success?
"I'm scared of making mistakes or using grammar incorrectly in front of everyone!"
If English isn't your first language you may believe if you don't have perfect grammar you'll be judged as 'incapable'.
In reality, the audience isn't judging if your grammar is 'perfect'. They're judging if you can communicate clearly!
Taking this program removes this fear, because it allows you to explore grammar choices that are at your level, while best conveying your meaning.
Good communicators focus on clarity- & remember natives make many mistakes when they're speaking too!
"I'm scared I won't be able to express my ideas in English!"
One good thing about presentations is that we are focused on specific topics. This means we need a limited range of vocabulary!
Another positive is that it is actually better to use a simpler grammar structure for speaking than we do for writing. This is because our brain takes longer to process complex spoken language compared to when reading.
I help you find the language & style that best matches both your English & comfort level. We practise the presentation as much as you need so you'll finish the program feeling secure in your expression!
"I'm naturally shy- I hate the idea of presenting even in my native language!"
Did you know public speaking is feared by 75% of the global population?
This means that social & outgoing people also share your fear. Even some of the world's best actors & speakers are shy & introverted.
I was terrified of public speaking & came to love it so much I had no problem speaking to 80+ people at a time! It honestly changed my life.
You have a voice that deserves to be heard & respected. I'm here to help build your confidence, personal speaking style & a give you a skill that will change your life too!
"What happens if they ask me questions & I don't know how to answer in English?"
One of the great things about coaching is that the programs are personalised to your needs & to help you overcome specific challenges.
If you're expecting a Question & Answer section or discussion after your presentation we can prepare for that!
We can think about the possible questions you may be asked & formulate answers to them. You can keep them in your notes & take them with you!
I'll also show you how to professionally handle when you don't know how to answer, & how to keep yourself & your brain calm so you can process and answer!
"When I'm stressed, my brain goes blank. What if this happens in the presentation?!"
Our brain's 'fight or flight' system that protects us when we are in 'dangerous' situations shuts down the language areas to save energy to attack or run from danger.
While useful in the wild, in a presentation this is very frustrating!
The best way to prevent this is by preparing ourselves as anxiety comes from the unknown.
By taking this program, you'll know what you want to say, how to say it & when! This reduces the brain's feeling of stress & allows you to speak calmly & freely in English!
"I'm worried they won't be able to understand me because of my pronunciation!"
Clear pronunciation is essential for effective communication.
This doesn't mean that you have to hit every sound correctly 100% of the time, or that you need a British or American accent!
If pronunciation is a weakness, we will ensure the pronunciation, rhythm & stress of your speech flows naturally & is clear so you feel confident you'll be understood.
If we identify significant issues that need more time to correct, you can take my Pronunciation program to help you further!
About Me
I'm Eleanor Amy Wilkinson!
My life experiences have shown me communication skills give us personal freedom and success.
I started Utter Eloquence to give you that, in English!
As a British native living in Slovenia- a Slavic speaking country, I know the frustrations being unable to express yourself and challenges faced learning languages and navigating cultures!
Combining my experiences as an English teacher & a life coach, I've created unique coaching programs that give clients the communication skills they need to find their English voice.
Frequently Asked Questions
My speaking skills are quite weak, but I understand English well. Can I have coaching?
Yes you can. However, this will prepare you specifically for presentations only. If you have a specific presentation you have to give- we will ensure you can speak confidently for that event.
If you don't have a presentation lined up & your speaking skills are quite weak, I suggest taking my Business English program, which focuses on English language & communication before taking this program. The Business English program is a 10 or 20 session package, so we can incorporate presentations into our work there & have more time to develop your overall speaking skills around that.
If you're unsure, you can arrange a free consultation with me & we can explore which program is suitable for you.
Will this program work for me?
Yes! All my clients who have taken this program have reported they were able to overcome any anxieties, doubts & language challenges they had & that the presentation was a success.
There is no magic button to suddenly be a perfect English speaker (who is!), but you will get out what you put in.
If you are consistent & committed to your English in & out of sessions, you will get great results.
How long does the program last?
This is a 6 session package that is valid for 2 months.
How often do we meet?
You book sessions at any available time slot that suits your schedule! You are responsible for booking your sessions & I advise booking your sessions in advance to secure the dates & time that works for you.
If you have a specific presentation date you should organise sessions appropriately.
If you don't have a specific date yet, it's better to start as soon as possible so you are ready at any time!
How do I book my sessions?
After buying your package, book your sessions through the "Bookings" page.
My schedule changed, can I rearrange sessions after booking them?
You can book sessions as far in advance as you like & you are free to cancel or make changes to your schedule up to 48 hours before an arranged session.
Cancellations on a session that is due to start within the 48-hour period cannot be cancelled & will be redeemed from your package if you can't attend. This ensures fair availability to other clients.
Please refer to the full Cancellations & Lateness Policy in the Terms & Conditions before buying your package.
I bought a package, but I changed my mind- can I have a refund?
You are entitled to a refund up to 7 days of purchasing a package. Completed sessions in that time are not refundable.
A processing fee of 5% of the package price will be applied & the remaining value returned to you.
Please refer to the full refund policy in the Terms and Conditions before buying your package.
I have other English teachers, should I do this?
Are you getting the communication & English language results you need to prepare you for the presentation? If you're not, you should definitely do this program!
