The origins of keeptraining

In 1998, I started out as a part-time, freelance trainer of English to speakers of other languages – mostly German. Over the last twelve years, I have gained so much experience and expanded my skills. I continue to work with international companies in and around Stuttgart whose employees need to improve their English. In that time, I have built up my qualifications and deepened my desire to help make a difference has deepened.

On one hand, I continue to support companies with their international training needs, and to work with trainers who now need to offer their courses in English. On the other hand, I’m re-visiting a topic from my student days – gender issues in the workplace.

Within Europe, and particularly in Germany at the moment, the question of how to get more women into the top levels of management is a hot one. Thus, I believe my decision to become licensed to offer the UK-based Springboard Women’s Development Programme is a timely one.

This combination of communication training & trainer coaching in English and women’s development is an ideal way for me to combine what I love doing; helping people with their English language training requirements AND working with women who want to develop aspects of their work and private lives.
