Speak Up When English Matters Most
What if speaking English at work was easier?
You need to use English at work. You know what you want to say, but in an important meeting, presentation or unexpected conversation, finding the words can suddenly feel much harder. Sometimes you might need more English. At other times, you already know the English, but pressure makes it harder to access in the moment.
Speak Up When English Matters Most A six-week live coaching programme where you’ll learn practical tools and practise using your English in the situations that matter at work.
Six weeks · Maximum four people · Live on Microsoft Teams · £197 introductory price
Is this for you?
This programme is for professionals who need to use English at work but sometimes find it harder when the pressure is on.
You might recognise yourself here:
You know what you want to say in meetings but sometimes hesitate.
Unexpected questions make it harder to think clearly.
You rush, over-explain or lose your train of thought.
You think of the answer you wanted to give afterwards.
You want to feel more like yourself when you speak English at work.
This isn’t a beginner English course. We’ll work with the English you already have, while recognising that sometimes there may also be language you still need to learn.
The Find Your English Voice approach
CALM
Learn how to manage pressure so you can think more clearly.
CLARITY
Organise your thoughts and get your message across without searching for the perfect sentence.
CONFIDENCE
Practise speaking in realistic situations until responding begins to feel more natural.
What we will work on over six weeks
-
Understand the situations that create the most pressure for you and notice what happens when you hesitate or lose your words.
You’ll begin to identify your own patterns and what you most want to change.
-
Try practical breathing and regulation techniques you can use before and during high-pressure moments.
The aim isn’t to eliminate nerves. It’s to give you tools to use when you notice pressure building.
-
Simple ways to structure your thoughts, give yourself thinking time and respond without needing the perfect sentence.
-
Practise the everyday conversations and small talk that help build professional relationships and give you opportunities to use English more spontaneously.
-
Put the tools into practice through realistic meetings, unexpected questions and speaking challenges in a supportive environment.
This is where you practise using what you’ve learnt when you have less time to prepare.
-
Bring everything together, look back at what you’ve noticed over the six weeks and create your own Go-To Plan for the situations that matter to you.
How it works
Six live sessions on Microsoft Teams, with a maximum of four people in each group.
The groups are deliberately small because you need time to speak, practise and receive individual feedback. Working with other people also gives you the chance to practise the unpredictability of real conversations rather than knowing exactly what is coming next.
You’ll also receive PDF copies of two of my books, Find Your English Voice and the accompanying workbook.
I’m Tanya
I’m Tanya Kaczanow, founder of Find Your English Voice, and I’ve worked with international professionals since 2011.
Before becoming a coach, I spent ten years as a professional singer. That experience taught me a lot about what can happen when you know what you want to do, but pressure makes it harder to do it in the moment.
My background includes Cambridge CELTA, specialist Business English training and Formal Counselling Training. I’m also the author of Find Your English Voice and English ESL Small Talk.
Today, I bring that experience together to help professionals use their English with more calm, clarity and confidence when it matters.

Try the programme for two weeks
Come to the first two sessions, take part and try the tools for yourself. If, after those two sessions, you feel the programme isn’t right for you, just let me know and I’ll refund every penny.
I’ll contact you personally to discuss the next suitable cohort and make sure the timing works before anything is confirmed.
Would you prefer to work one-to-one?
You can also work with me individually on the same areas through one-to-one coaching.
We’ll have more time to focus on your particular work situations, although you won’t have quite the same opportunity to practise with other people that you get in the small group.
Prefer to talk first?
Book a free 20-minute discovery call and tell me a little about what happens when you use English at work. We can work out whether the group programme, individual coaching or something else would suit you best.
