Clear, confident spoken English
that reflects your expertise immediately.
In your own language, people feel your ideas, your experience, and your leadership. In English, that same level doesn't always come through as clearly or as quickly.
Latour helps you identify and correct the patterns that make your English sound less clear and less impactful than your real level, so the way you speak reflects the quality of your thinking.
For many senior professionals, the gap is not in knowledge, but in how clearly that expertise is perceived when they speak.
The gap is easier to hear than to explain. That's why the first step is diagnosis.
Typical clients are founders and executives who already work in English, or will soon in more visible situations. The key is not more classes. It's matching your speaking to your level of expertise.
When the way you sound has to match the weight of your ideas, in board meetings, investor calls, client meetings, and public conversations.
This isn't school. It's custom spoken-language coaching for people who already perform at a high level and want their English to do the same.
Why "good English" still creates friction
You can read complex reports, write clear emails, and follow meetings. But when you speak, the result is often slower, less precise, and less impactful than it is in your own language. You feel the difference, even when other people do not explain it clearly.
This isn't a vocabulary or grammar issue. It's a spoken-English problem: pronunciation, rhythm, and speech patterns that reduce clarity, especially under pressure.
That mismatch makes you work harder to speak, and makes your listener work harder to follow. Over time, that extra effort reduces clarity, weakens first impressions, and affects how your expertise is perceived.
You might recognize yourself here:
- People ask "Sorry?" or hesitate after your first sentence.
- 1:1 conversations with people who know you are fine, but group discussions are exhausting.
- Your brain feels "full" when you speak, you need time to warm up in English.
- Speaking English feels tiring, especially at the end of long days or trips.
Many clients arrive saying: "My English is okay, but it doesn't feel like me. People don't see how sharp I am in my own language."
Most professionals stay stuck for years because they don't know exactly what is causing the friction.
We identify the specific patterns that are reducing clarity, slowing understanding, and making your English sound less sharp than your real level. Then we train the highest-impact elements first, so progress is faster, more visible, and easier to apply in real life.
Leaders who know "OK English" just is not enough
If you already use English at work, or you know you'll soon need it for more public, visible situations (podcasts, conferences, investor meetings, international expansion) and you feel your spoken presence could be sharper, you're in the right place.
Scaling beyond your home market
For founders pitching globally, raising in English, or leading international teams, where clarity, presence, and trust directly influence capital and growth.
Leading in US and global environments
For VPs, directors, and C-level leaders who present to boards, clients, and teams in English, and want their voice to project the same seniority, authority, and ease as their role.
High-trust, high-context work
For consultants, lawyers, physicians, and senior specialists whose impact depends on nuance, precision, and human connection, not just "getting the message across."
Hear the transformation
Louise was in charge of a large bank's French division. When she was promoted to lead the European arm,
her heavily-accented English was suddenly in the spotlight, on calls, in meetings, and in front of senior stakeholders.
She already had the role. But the way she sounded in English did not reflect her real level, and that gap was affecting how she and the company were perceived.
What changes when the right patterns are corrected:
In this before-and-after clip, you'll hear what changes when the real problem is identified clearly and the right patterns are corrected.
She did not lose her accent. She gained control, fluency, and confidence, so people could finally focus on her decisions, not her English.

Three pillars that define global fluency
The E.A.R. Framework helps you understand why your English may feel effortful, sound less clear than it should, and affect how you're perceived in important situations.
When speaking feels effortless, you stop translating, your mind relaxes, and you start thinking directly in English, with presence, flow, and clarity. Our work reduces the mental load so English costs you less energy and gives you more impact.
Accent is about patterns, not perfection. We adjust the mechanics, sounds, stress, rhythm, and linking, so you are easy to understand, credible, and natural from the first seconds of a conversation, even with native speakers.
When you sound and feel good in English, you express yourself like someone who knows what they're doing. You are perceived as skilled, intelligent, and adaptable. People focus on your ideas, leadership, and presence, not your English. You sound like the expert you truly are.
This framework isn't theory. It's what makes English feel easier to speak, clearer to hear, and stronger in how you're perceived, so your voice finally matches your level.
Spoken communication coaching for leaders operating in English
This isn't about learning more English in general. It's about identifying and correcting the specific patterns that reduce clarity, increase listener effort, and make your spoken communication less effective than it should be.
We fix the patterns that matter most
Together we identify the sounds, rhythms, and habits that create most of the friction when you speak, then we train them in a clear order. You don't re-learn all of English. You target the few elements that change how you sound everywhere, in meetings, calls, small talk, and on stage.
Sound confident in any situation
AI can polish your emails. It can't replace how you show up live, on Zoom, on stage, in negotiation, or over dinner. We train your voice, your timing, and your delivery in the real situations where trust, leadership, and influence are built.
A system you can use for life
You already perform at a high level. Coaching is built as a partnership: clear goals, measurable progress, and honest feedback, using a methodology Ben has refined and stress-tested himself in six languages. If you want to see how it all fits together, you can also explore the Method and About pages.
What clients say after working with us
Words from executives, founders, and professionals who decided their English should match their expertise.
Within the first meeting I had already learned more than in my 20+ years learning English. Ben helped me sound fluent and confident on stage while my company was going global.
Results from the first days thanks to a deep method based on phonetics. On the human side, Ben is funny, supportive, and a real source of energy. My confidence leading an international team has increased a lot.
After years working in English, I still struggled to express 100% of my thoughts. The methodology and tools helped me become far more fluent and impactful in complex discussions.
