What do Nelson Mandela, Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-Moon, and Dipak Chopra have in common? They all speak with foreign accents. Your accent is your asset. It is what gives you credibility, authenticity and uniqueness. Never lose your accent. Instead, learn how to turn your accent into an asset and deliver speeches or communicate effectively even if English is not your first language. You'll be able to speak up and share your ideas in meetings and conferences. Be an active participant at meetings instead of an onlooker. You've got an accent. So what? Everyone does. Use it!

The way that we talk reflects our individuality and cultural heritage. However, an accent can become a problem if it interferes with communication or with the image that we wish to project in our business or personal relationships. This workshop helps you sound more like a native North American speaker of English by using a slower rate of speech, making the voice go up and down during speech, and putting the endings on words.
