The Frustrating Reality For Non-Native Business Executives
You’ve risen to a leadership position through expertise and vision. Does your accent prevent others from fully recognizing your authority?
You’re in the high level meeting presenting strategic insights that steer the directon of your company, but instead of engagement, you notice:
“Could you please repeat that point?”
Or worse – polite nods followed by sidebar clarifications, as if your words carried less weight despite your position.
As an executive, you’ve worked relentlessly to reach this level. Your communication should reflect that.
The Unseen Hurdle for Global Business Leaders
Many accomplished executives and directors – especially those leading multinational organizations – experience these communication challenges:
Research suggests that accent can influence perception in business settings.
What Accent Reduction Means for Executives
Neutral accent is just another nuanced skill in your communication toolbox – like polished presentation skills or strategic communication.
Accent modification uses similar learning principles to other skills you’ve mastered. Just as you’ve mastered other skills on your path to leadership, you can master this one with the right approach.
Our standard program spans 12 weekly sessions, providing a structured foundation for accent improvement.
The Science Behind Your Accent
Your accent is simply muscle memory. As you pick up your first language, your brain learns how to move your jaw, lips, and tongue to form sounds. These movements became so automated that you don’t even think about them.
English has its own unique movements, just like any other language. The problem is, your brain is defaulting to what it already knows – your first language’s muscle movements.
This is the same muscle memory that you use to walk, move, swim etc. but it’s located in your face.
The good news is – muscle memory can be retrained at any age with the right approach.
The Intonetic Method for Executive Leaders
My approach is designed specifically for high-level business leaders who require efficient, measurable results:
1
Identify the Sounds that Hold You Back
We’ll analyze your speech patterns to identify which of the 44 sounds in English are affecting your professional communication. Most executives I work with focus on 10–12 core sounds, enough to noticeably improve clarity.
2
Create a Personalized Plan
Your plan will prioritize the specific sounds that may help you progress more efficiently – so that you can be confident in any situation.
3
Build New Muscle Memory
Your goal will be to practice those target sounds hundreds (sometimes even thousands) of times per week, reinforcing the muscle memory needed for clear and confident speech.

100% online, without commuting. Efficient, flexible and designed for busy executives.

Questions Clients Ask Before Joining
How quickly will I see improvements in my communication?
Many clients report noticing improvements within the first few sessions with board members and executive peers commenting on enhanced clarity. The full transformation typically takes 8-12 sessions, depending on your starting point and commitment to practice. Many clients report they feel more confident in leadership communication situations.
Will this help me project more authority and executive presence?
Absolutely. The Intonetic Method includes specific techniques for authoritative intonation, strategic pausing, and emphasis patterns that enhance communication. Many clients report feeling more confident in their communication, which may contribute to their sense of executive presence.
How is your approach different from standard accent reduction?
While a lot of accent reduction programs give you generic tips and advice, The Intonetic Approach is 100% personalized to your needs and sounds you struggle with. AI powered accent reduction apps aren’t the most reliable and often misdiagnose problematic sounds – so an experienced human touch is what in my experience has worked best.
Can we focus on specific leadership communication scenarios?
Yes, absolutely. We tailor your program to address the exact communication scenarios most critical to your leadership role—whether that’s board presentations, investor pitches, media appearances, or team leadership. We can work directly with your actual presentation content, ensuring you master not just general pronunciation but the precise vocabulary and delivery needed for your most important leadership moments.
How discrete is this process? Confidentiality is important at my level.
Complete discretion is assured. Many C-suite clients choose our program specifically because of its privacy. All sessions are conducted via secure, encrypted platforms at times that fit your executive schedule. The practice components are designed to be used privately, often during travel or commutes. Your participation remains entirely confidential, allowing you to unveil your enhanced communication skills at your discretion.
I travel extensively for business. Is this program feasible with an executive schedule?
The program is specifically designed for people with demanding global schedules. All sessions are conducted online, accessible from anywhere with secure internet access. The practice components are mobile-optimized for use during travel, between meetings, or whenever you have a moment of privacy. We offer flexible scheduling including early morning, evening, and some weekend appointments to accommodate international business commitments. Many clients successfully complete the program despite extensive travel.
Your accent shouldn't limit your leadership potential.
