You Lead at the Highest Level.
Your English Should Too.
Executive English coaching for non-native directors and executives who are confident in every room — except when English is the language.
You Are Not Struggling With English.
You Are Struggling With How English Makes You Feel.
You have built a career at the highest level. You lead teams. You manage stakeholders. You make decisions that matter. But the moment the meeting switches to English — something shifts. You know what you want to say. You just cannot say it the way you would in your native language. And that gap — between who you are and how you come across in English — is costing you.
In the Boardroom
You simplify your ideas because you are not sure how to express them with the authority they deserve. Your English does not reflect your seniority.
In Negotiations
You feel at a disadvantage. Native speakers move fast, use language as a tool, and you know you are not matching them.
In Presentations
You prepare more than you should have to. You rely on notes. You know your delivery does not match the quality of your thinking.
In Your Career
You have watched less experienced colleagues advance because they communicate with more confidence in English. You know your English is the ceiling.
This Is Not English Coaching.
This Is Executive Performance Coaching.
Most English coaching fixes grammar. This fixes something deeper.
The reason executives struggle in English is not vocabulary or grammar. It is confidence, identity, and state.
You know the words. You freeze because of how English makes you feel about yourself.
Richard works on both — the language and the psychology behind it. NLP-influenced techniques to access a confident state on demand.
So you do not just speak better English. You show up differently.
Language Precision
The exact vocabulary, phrases and structures that project executive authority in every high-stakes situation.
Confidence on Demand
NLP-influenced techniques to access your most confident state before any board presentation, negotiation, or stakeholder meeting.
Real Work Content
Your actual board presentations, negotiations, and stakeholder emails — not generic exercises.
Session Recordings & Transcripts
Every session captured in full so nothing is lost and every insight is available to you.

Richard Has Spent 20 Years Inside the Rooms Where It Matters.
Irish. 20+ years coaching executives and directors from Hays, Gartner, Korn Ferry and leading global firms.
I do not teach English. I coach executives to communicate with the authority their position demands. My approach combines precision language coaching with NLP-influenced confidence and mindset techniques — because the language problem and the confidence problem are the same problem.

What Executives Say.
"I'm truly enjoying my journey with Richard! I'm not only improving my English, but also my communication skills in general. I'm much more aware of the words I use, the tone, the nonverbal communication...
And also reinforcing my negotiation skills. I truly believe this has been a turning point in the way I interact with my colleagues, and I already feel more self-confident when talking to native speakers"
Human Resources People Manager, Spain
"Richard has an extraordinary ability to listen and understand the needs, strengths and areas for improvement of his students.
He manages the classes very well, working in a digital platform that helps to have all the resources organized and accesible at any time."
HR Director, Spain
"I reached out to Richard while I was looking for private English classes to improve my fluency in this language, in order share my message as best as possible on Social Media, Podcast, Interviews, Conferences and Business Meetings.
Yet I soon discovered that Richard offers much more than that. He is one of the most skillful communicators I ever met and in his classes he shares all his knowledge on how to communicate in a very impactful way, moving seamlessly between fluency, rhythm of speech, grammar, right choice of words, storytelling, nonverbal communication, self-confidence and much more.
He does that with a very empathetic, flexible, dynamic and fun methodology, which is always adapted on the specific needs of each student. In just a few months I improved my English skills, my confidence in speaking this language, the structure of my message and my communication style as a whole. I look forward to keep working with him, as I know it will be a key element of my success."

Frequently Asked Questions.
This programme is designed exclusively for directors, VPs, MDs, and C-suite executives. If you are leading teams, presenting to boards, or managing international stakeholders, this is built for you. It is not a general English course — it is executive performance coaching. If you are earlier in your career, this is not the right fit at this stage.
Most English coaching addresses language mechanics — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. This goes further. Richard works on the confidence and identity dimension that most coaches ignore entirely. The NLP-influenced techniques address why you freeze, why you shrink, and why your executive presence diminishes in English — and they give you tools to change that state on demand. The result is not just better English. It is a different version of you in English.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques are woven into every session — not as a separate module, but as a practical tool. Richard uses anchoring, state management, and reframing techniques to help you access a confident, authoritative state before high-stakes situations. You will leave each session with specific techniques you can use immediately — before a board presentation, a negotiation, or any moment where you need to perform at your best in English.
Every session at €150/hr includes: a fully personalised 1-on-1 session built around your real executive work, NLP-influenced confidence techniques, a full recording of the session, a complete transcript, and a personalised follow-up summary. There are no hidden costs. Your investment is in a programme built entirely around your executive reality — not a generic curriculum.
The group cohort is for senior executives who want the benefit of peer learning alongside expert facilitation. If you are comfortable working in a small group of peers at your level, and you want the accountability and shared insight that comes from that environment, the group cohort will be a powerful experience. If you prefer complete privacy and a fully personalised programme, 1-on-1 coaching is the right choice. Join the waitlist and Richard will help you decide on the discovery call.
