Spoken English Diagnostic | High-Impact Action Session
SPOKEN ENGLISH DIAGNOSTIC

You already work in English.

But when did someone last give you specific feedback on how you sound?

Especially when you’re the boss.

The High-Impact Action Session is a personalized 60-minute diagnostic for founders, executives and senior professionals who want to understand what they may not be hearing in their own English.

We identify the speaking habits worth working on, help you hear them in your own voice, and begin changing one of them together.

$297 USD

60-minute working session · Personal analysis · Session recording · Tailored exercises · Follow-up feedback

If you continue into coaching within 30 days, the $297 is credited toward your program.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for people who already use English professionally.

You do not need help ordering a coffee or writing an email.

You lead meetings. You speak with clients, colleagues, investors or partners. You may use English every day.

The question is whether anyone has ever listened closely enough to tell you what you are doing well, what is making your speech harder to understand, and what is actually worth changing.

Your English does not need to be bad for this work to be valuable.

You will probably recognize yourself here if:

  • You already work in English regularly
  • Your expertise is not the problem
  • People sometimes ask you to repeat yourself
  • New people are harder to communicate with than colleagues who know you
  • Your prepared English is stronger than your spontaneous English
  • You hear yourself on recordings and notice things you do not like
  • Or you simply want to know what you could improve
WHY IT CAN BE HARD TO SEE

Speaking English every day does not mean you are getting useful feedback.

Your colleagues know your voice. Your team becomes familiar with the way you pronounce things. People learn what you mean from context.

Clients rarely interrupt a conversation to explain what was difficult to understand. And when you are senior enough, people are even less likely to correct you.

So the same speaking habits can continue for years without anyone showing you clearly what is happening.

You may already know there is something you want to improve. Or you may be completely confident in English and simply have no idea what you are missing.

That is what the diagnostic is designed to uncover.

THE CORE IDEA

Your accent is not the problem.

The goal is not to erase where you come from. The issue is the specific habits that make parts of your English less clear than they could be.

Maybe one word repeatedly sounds like another.

Maybe people understand a sentence only after hearing the rest of it.

Maybe part of your attention is on your English when you want to be focused on the conversation.

People may still understand you. But in an investor pitch, sales conversation, leadership meeting or presentation, being understood eventually is not the same as being understood immediately.

You want people focused on your ideas. Not trying to figure out what you said.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SESSION

Hear what you have not been hearing.

The diagnostic is not about finding every possible imperfection. It is about identifying the things that are actually useful for you to work on.

1

See what is happening

We walk through your personalized analysis using examples from your own speech.

You see which habits happen consistently, which ones you already control sometimes, and which ones deserve attention first.

2

Understand why it happens

We explain what you are doing and why the same habit keeps repeating.

No vague advice like “speak more clearly” or “work on your accent.”

You understand what needs to change.

3

Hear yourself change it

You do not just listen to someone else pronounce something correctly.

With live guidance, you work on one important speaking habit and hear the difference in your own voice.

For many clients, this is the moment the process becomes real.

Something they could not hear before becomes something they can start to recognize and control.

4

Know what to do next

You leave knowing what deserves the most attention, what can wait, and how to begin practicing.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple, personal and structured.

1

Send us short recordings

Before the session, we give you clear instructions for recording short samples of your spoken English.

We also ask about your role, goals and the situations where English matters most.

About 10–15 minutes

2

We analyze your speech

A specialist coach personally reviews your recordings before you meet.

We identify recurring speaking habits and decide which ones are most useful to explore during your session.

Human analysis, not an automated score

3

Work through the findings together

During the 60-minute session, you see the analysis, hear examples from your own speech and work on an important change with live guidance.

Afterward, you keep your analysis, the complete session recording and exercises created around what we found.

You can also submit a practice recording for specific feedback.

CLIENT STORY

Hear the difference.

Louise was already leading at a senior level in banking. When her role expanded across Europe, spoken English became more important in meetings, calls and conversations with senior stakeholders.

She did not need to relearn English. The work focused on specific habits that made parts of her speech harder to understand.

She kept her identity and her accent. What changed was how clearly and easily people could follow her.

Louise · Before & After

"Within the first meeting, I had already learned more than in my 20+ years learning English. And that feeling never stopped."

Serge Vatine, Founding Partner
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT

You do not need another general English course.

Most people who come to us already have the vocabulary and grammar they need for their work. What they usually do not have is precise feedback on their own speech.

General English training

  • Everyone studies similar material
  • More vocabulary and grammar
  • General pronunciation practice
  • Feedback on the exercise being taught
  • Progress can feel difficult to measure

Your Spoken English Diagnostic

  • We analyze how you actually speak
  • We identify the habits you repeat
  • We decide what is worth working on first
  • You practice a specific change with live feedback
  • Your exercises are based on what we found

You do not need to relearn English. You need to know what is worth changing in the English you already speak.

WHY FEEDBACK MATTERS

Most people do not need more practice. They need better feedback.

If you practice something incorrectly 100 times, you become better at doing it incorrectly.

The difficult part is knowing:

Did I actually get it right this time?

That is why feedback matters.

The diagnostic shows you what to listen for. Your exercises give you a way to practice. Your follow-up feedback shows you where you are doing it correctly and where you still need to adjust.

If you continue into coaching, we take this further. We review your attempts together until you become better at hearing the difference yourself and correcting it without waiting for someone else to tell you.

The long-term goal:

Know what good sounds like. Hear it in yourself. Make the change automatic.

HUMAN EXPERTISE

Your English is analyzed by a person. Not an algorithm.

This is not an automated pronunciation score.

A specialist coach listens carefully to your speech, identifies the habits you repeat and considers what you actually need English for.

A founder preparing to pitch investors may need to focus on different things from an executive leading an international team. Someone preparing for a conference may need something different from someone speaking with customers all day.

The goal is not to find every possible imperfection. It is to identify the changes that will be most useful for you.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Not a class. Not a generic pronunciation lesson.

This is not:

  • Beginner English training
  • Grammar drills
  • Vocabulary lessons
  • A generic accent course
  • An automated pronunciation score
  • A list of everything you do “wrong”

This is:

  • A personalized analysis of your speech
  • Specific feedback on habits you may not hear yourself
  • A live working session with expert guidance
  • A practical first step toward clearer, more controlled spoken English
  • Materials and exercises you keep afterward
IN THEIR OWN WORDS

What clients say after someone finally listens closely.

“I’ve never had feedback of this quality, not even close. Without this, I wouldn’t know how to improve.”

Adrien L.

“I was overestimating my capabilities, and I was underestimating the potential of the transformation.”

Grégoire Gambatto, Co-founder & CEO

“He clearly identified what I needed to fix and built a step-by-step strategy to correct it.”

Eliott Mogenet, Founder & CEO

“Ben is one of those professionals you want to keep close. The way he teaches becomes a habit.”

Rui Goncalves

FAQ

Common questions

No. This is a paid working session. The purpose is to analyze your speech, explain what we find, work on an important change and give you a clear starting point. If you ask about how to continue the work, we can explain the available coaching options afterward. There is no obligation to continue.

Yes, if you already use English professionally and want more precise feedback on how you speak. Most clients are not trying to become functional in English. They are already functional. They want to know whether there are speaking habits they have not noticed and whether those habits are worth changing.

Not in the sense of trying to erase where you come from. We work on the specific pronunciation, fluency and delivery habits that affect clarity. You can keep an obvious French, Brazilian, Polish, German, Korean or other accent and still become much easier to understand.

We send you instructions for short speech recordings. Plan approximately 10–15 minutes to complete them. They give your coach the material needed to analyze your speech before the session.

The live working session is 60 minutes. Plan approximately 10–15 minutes before the session for your recordings. After the session, you can spend a few minutes completing your first practice recording if you want feedback on it.

You keep:

  • your personalized Pattern Analysis
  • the complete session recording
  • access to your dashboard
  • exercises created for your speech and goals
  • the opportunity to submit a practice recording for feedback

These are included whether or not you continue into coaching.

Ongoing coaching focuses on implementation. Instead of simply knowing what needs to change, you practice the changes repeatedly, review your attempts with a coach and learn to hear and correct the patterns yourself. The goal is for clearer speech to become increasingly automatic in real conversations.
