American Business Communication

For many people who haven’t spent a lot of time working with Americans, communication can be rife with cultural gaps and misunderstandings. American business communication is different from many places in the world – more direct, more assertive, more “to the point.”

American Business Communication teaches non-native “American” speakers how to better communicate with their American headquarters. Although the language is English, we describe it as “speaking American” because the class addresses American business communication styles unique to American culture.

This class provides several distinct benefits and skills, including:

• Ability to “bottom line” messages in a manner Americans better understand (for presentations, meetings & email)
• Dialogue and listening skills
• Preparation skills for active and relevant meetings
• Meeting decorum & effective communication techniques
