Running the Railroad

OVERVIEW

Language effectiveness in today’s world is not just about best practices – it means willingness to transform one’s self, one’s attitudes and approaches toward the magnificent range of people and cultures our world holds.

  1. Do you communicate across cultures?
  2. Are you responsible for running a virtual team?
  3. Is the Lingua Franca you use with your foreign colleagues a challenge sometimes?

In this online English course, our team of highly qualified language consultants will coach you in long-term personal application, providing core principles you and your people need. Learning from years of successes and failures, we have acquired a set of language, virtual leadership and communication skills that we would like to share with you.

Please watch the following video in which the founder of, and CEO at, LOS Language Online Services Martin Norling describes WHY this course is called ‘Running The Railroad’, HOW you can benefit from this course and WHAT you can expect from our team.

Have you got any questions? Would you like to schedule a free 60-minute intro discussion with Martin before buying the course? Please get in touch with him here
