Anna Rybinska in conversation during an online session.

Communication coach
for non-native founders

Make your point. Sound like yourself.

You know everything about your business. I help you decide what to say, how to structure it and how to say it in English so it still sounds like you.

CONFERENCE TALKS · CLIENT PRESENTATIONS · INDUSTRY EVENTS

Intro call

20 minutes. You tell me what you’re working on.
I tell you whether I can help.

The Difference

You know the context. You know the details. You know why one thing connects to another. And you care about it, so naturally you want people to see what you see. The difficult part isn’t finding something to say. It’s deciding what deserves the space this time.

You know so much that deciding
what to leave out gets difficult.

You know exactly what you want to say. But when you say it in English, you might rush it, make it more formal, stay closer to the slides or choose a sentence you would never use otherwise. Somewhere between knowing what you mean and saying it out loud, the way you normally communicate can change.

You don’t sound quite like yourself
when you say it in English.

The audience needs to hear what matters.
And they need to hear you.

The Review

Communication Review

90 minutes · €300

Intro call

20 minutes. You tell me what you’re working on.
I tell you whether I can help.

Bring one thing you’re working on.

A talk. A client presentation. Something you’re preparing for an industry event. We go through it together.

We look at what deserves the space, what can go, where the point needs to be sharper and whether the structure supports what you want people to take away. As we work, we sharpen the language and delivery so that what you’re saying is precise, the important points land, and it still sounds like you.

I ask questions. We try things. We change things. You decide what stays.

Afterwards, you get a write-up of what we found and what we agreed to change. It’s yours to keep.

If we continue within 30 days, the Review becomes part of the coaching price.

The Coaching

You agreed to give a talk. There’s a date. There’s a topic. There’s no talk yet.

Presentation Coaching

€1,500

Usually 8 sessions over 6–8 weeks, depending on the talk and the date.
Support between sessions as the talk develops.

Intro call

20 minutes. You tell me what you’re working on.
I tell you whether I can help.

We start with the room. Who will be there, what do they already know, and what do you want them to leave with.
Then we build the talk around that. We decide what deserves the time, where the argument needs to go and how to get the audience there with you. As the talk takes shape, we work on the language too. It needs to be precise enough for the ideas you’re putting across, but it also needs to sound like something you would actually say.
Then we rehearse. Not to memorise a performance, but to make the talk familiar enough that you can stop thinking about what comes next and start talking to the people in front of you. We work on the delivery as we go, until the important points land and the talk sounds like you.

You walk in with a topic. You walk out with a talk. It’s yours. In English. And it sounds like you.

In their words

Milan Savov

Founder of SmartClick

Before working with Anna, I relied on slides and bullet points and would prepare a week or two before a presentation, sometimes not at all. I always had that nervousness in me.

This time, we built the presentation around a clear structure. I had that structure in my mind, so I felt natural telling the stories without relying on my slides.

I stopped rushing to fill every silence and became comfortable with the pause. At one point, I could see the audience waiting for what I would say next.

One organiser who knew nothing about SEO or AI told me she still understood exactly what I was trying to say.

Joanna Małek-Baranowska

Co-founder of SKINLAB

Before Cosmoprof Bologna, we knew what we wanted to say to partners and what we wanted from the fair. We didn’t have a structure. Ania worked with us until we did.

At the fair we found a brand whose philosophy matched ours. We went into that conversation ready, and by the end of the day they wanted to keep talking.

The next day we were sitting with their CEO.

Juan Casla

Founder of Juan Casla Paisajismo

I had to present a design project to a client. I know my projects in detail, so my instinct is always to explain the technical side.

Ania flipped the structure: first what the design gives the people who will use the space, then how we do it.

The presentation was much clearer. I have used that structure many times since.

About

Hi, I’m Anna.

I’ve spent more than twenty years listening to people communicate in English when it isn’t their first language, across different countries and businesses.

I don’t just hear the English. I hear the point someone is trying to make, what the audience needs from it and whether the person saying it still sounds like themselves.

I’ve always been fascinated by language and communication. I studied English, specialising in translation, but what still interests me most is how meaning changes depending on the words we choose, how we say them and who we’re speaking to.

I’ve seen people change the way they speak, the way they sound and even how much of their personality comes through when they switch to English. At some point, I realised this was the part I cared about most.

I don’t want speaking English to take away the things that make someone recognisably themselves.

The people I work with know their businesses far better than I ever will. I ask enough questions to understand what they mean.

I work with six to eight people at a time because I have to know each business. You’re translating your expertise into English, and I need to know the original.

Something coming up?

A conference talk. A client presentation. An industry event.

Tell me about it.
