For organisations
Executive communication programmes for international teams. Every participant is assessed at the start and at the end on six dimensions, so you see what changed, not who attended.
The problem
Your engineers, scientists, lawyers and consultants are promoted for their expertise. Then the job changes. They are judged on whether a board, a client or a committee can act on what they know, often in a language that isn't their first. Their English is rarely the problem. Structure, register and delivery under pressure are.
General language training does not fix this. Presentation-skills days rarely survive contact with a real executive committee. What works is diagnosis of each person, structures they can rely on under pressure, and rehearsal of the situations they actually face.
What you can show your leadership
Most communication training reports attendance and satisfaction scores. Every Darcy Quinn programme starts and ends with a Communication Signature assessment for each participant, on six dimensions.
At the close you receive an aggregated team report showing where the group moved and where further development will have most effect. Individual results are shared with the sponsor only with each participant's consent.

What individual clients say
C-level stakeholder meetings
“Darcy has been instrumental in building my confidence speaking to senior audiences in high-pressure corporate settings. She doesn't just teach technique, she challenges me to think through what I'm actually trying to accomplish and how to land it with C-levels. She simulates the exact situations I face in stakeholder meetings and board presentations, so I'm not practising in a vacuum. That combination of real-world insight and direct coaching has made a tangible difference in how I show up in moments that matter.”
Board-level communication
“Darcy has helped me prepare specifically for my board meetings in English. We work on tailored responses and discuss real-life cases relevant in the boardroom. Every session is customised to my individual needs, and the progress I have made is clearly noticeable. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to improve their English for business or board-level communication.”
Client-facing delivery
“Darcy is an exceptional tutor. She's not only flexible, but also highly strategic, tailoring every session to my professional objectives, such as client meetings, event setups, and workshop delivery. Her intelligence and commitment are truly inspiring.”
