The problem
You already know how to do your job. The challenge is doing it in Germany.
Working in another language and work culture can make experienced professionals hesitate, simplify their ideas or miss the context behind how people communicate. The result is a gap between what you are capable of and how confidently you can show it at work.
02
You hold back in the room
Meetings, feedback and discussions move quickly, so you may contribute less than you normally would.
03
You understand the words, but not always the context
Directness, expectations and German workplace norms can change how the same message is understood.
Speaking German is only half the challenge. Understanding how Germans communicate is the other half.
What we can work on
Communication for real professional situations.
Bring the situations you are dealing with now. We work on how to communicate clearly, what sounds natural in Germany and the cultural context behind it.
Meetings & presentations
Communicate ideas clearly, ask better questions and respond confidently when the conversation changes direction.
Colleagues, managers & clients
Navigate feedback, expectations, collaboration and important conversations in a German work environment.
Interviews & career moves
Explain your experience, achievements, career changes and professional value clearly without sounding rehearsed.
Offers, roles & salary
Prepare for conversations about responsibility, expectations, job offers and compensation.
Why Justin
Two languages. Two cultures. One perspective on working in Germany.
My father is from the United States and my mother is from Germany. I grew up with both languages and cultures, so I understand both perspectives from my own life.
Before becoming self-employed, I worked across different industries and professional environments. That gave me experience with different sides of working life in Germany.
Today, I bring those experiences together to help English-speaking expats communicate more confidently, understand German workplace culture and perform at their professional level in Germany.
