Emily Englert's Drive
‘I know what it's like to hold a presentation in another language or lead a meeting in another culture. I also know how important it is to cope with that pressure of finding the right words in the moment, to learn the tricks to gain confidence when speaking another language, and how that can take your career to new heights.’
Emily Englert, founder of Harvey's Academy, is more than a coach, she's your partner on the road to confidence and success. After more than a decade in upper-level management of international companies, she has realised that language is often more than just words: It is the key to respect, understanding and impact. With this experience in mind, Emily founded Harvey's Academy to give people, like you, the skills and confidence they need to excel on a global scale.
