English for Meetings - How to successfully participate in Meetings

Confident and active participation in English meetings with customers, partners and colleagues

Do you attend meetings, workshops and presentations in English, but feel insecure in your communication style and behavior? How can you achieve your meeting objectives in a foreign language?
