Business English Coaching for Professionals in Chicago
Communicate with confidence in meetings, presentations, and leadership conversations—through in-person coaching in The Loop, Chicago or virtual sessions worldwide.
You’re highly educated, experienced, and excellent at what you do.
Yet, communicating in a second language can make even the most accomplished professionals hesitate before speaking up, overthink every email, or hold back ideas they know are valuable.
At The Leadership Voice Studio™, our Business English Coaching helps multilingual professionals develop the clarity, confidence, and executive presence to succeed in U.S. workplaces—without changing who they are.
60 minutes • In-person Chicago or Virtual Worldwide • Credited toward any coaching program
You don’t have an English problem. You have a confidence gap.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This coaching is designed for you if:
You’re a highly educated professional who wants to elevate your executive presence and communication to reflect your expertise.
You’re an engineer, consultant, scientist, product manager, director, or business leader navigating English as a second or additional language in a U.S. workplace.
You know your ideas are strong, but it still takes you time to translate them in English.
Your want to contribute confidently in meetings, presentations, interviews, networking events, and executive conversations.
You’ve taken English classes before but still feel you’re still not as confident and fluent as you’d like.
THE REAL WORK
Executive Communication Coaching
Most Business English coaching teaches language.
We develop leaders.
Many Business English programs focus on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, or accent ‘neutralization.’
Those matter.
However, lasting communication confidence comes from something deeper: how you think, how you organize ideas, how you manage pressure, and how you show up in high-stakes conversations.
At The Leadership Voice Studio™, we integrate Business English, leadership communication, executive presence, and coaching to help you communicate like the leader you already are.
No accent change required.
For Organizations
Develop your leadership pipeline – technical experts, people managers, and emerging leaders – through AMPLIFY™, our leadership communication program for organizations navigating today’s increasingly multicultural and global workplace.

ABOUT JOYCE TALAG, PCC
She gets it.
Because she lived it.
Before founding The Leadership Voice Studio™, Joyce Talag built a career in leadership development, corporate training, stakeholder engagement, and communications across multiple industries.
After immigrating to the United States, she experienced firsthand what many professionals who do not speak English as their first language describe: knowing exactly what to say—but hesitating before saying it.
Today, Joyce combines more than 20 years of leadership experience with over 5,000 coaching sessions to help professionals stop filtering themselves and start communicating with confidence.
She is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), EMCC Senior Practitioner, TESOL-certified educator, and has completed executive education at Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation and Henley Business School, besides earning her Master’s degree in Development Management at the Asian Institute of Management.
Her philosophy is simple:
You don’t need to have an ‘American’ accent. What’s important is to communicate with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
You don’t have to filter your thoughts anymore. Start here.
Book a focused 60-minute trial session with Joyce in The Loop, Chicago or virtually from anywhere.
You’ll leave with clarity on what’s holding your communication back—and a practical path toward communicating like the leader you already are.
