I'm Dr. Elke Framson,

and I help international professionals go from fluent to compelling, whether they're pitching a product to a client or an idea to the board. The language of influence isn't bound by your role — and it can be learned.

After 30+ years working across European and US markets — including pitching for our US-based family business, teaching communication at universities in Austria and the US, and coaching leaders from around the globe — I understand the challenge non-native speakers face in global environments. It’s not primarily about language. It’s about converting language fluency into commercial success and leadership effectiveness.

I've also witnessed how the pressure to perform in a second language triggers deep confidence blocks, even in brilliant executives. That's why I hold a Confidence Coaching Certification and integrate mindset work into all my programs — so clients can show up with clarity and credibility in high-stakes conversations and presentations.

Work with me to master the language of influence in English.

What My Clients Say

Isabella, Audit Associate,

Deloitte (Austria).

Isabella was already fluent in English. Together, we worked on her confident presence: "Elke’s coaching made a huge difference and really transformed how I present. She gave me thoughtful guidance and effective strategies for what to focus on to overcome my fears in high-stakes situations. I feel so much more confident, calm, and natural when I speak now."

Benjamin, Founder & Journalist, WWII Veterans History Project (US)

Ben and I worked on preserving stories across languages, cultures, and times: "I’ve had the privilege of working with Elke for more than five years across numerous projects. Her expertise and commitment have been invaluable to me. Elke's translation work and cultural insights have provided essential support in my efforts to preserve and share stories with accuracy and respect."

Team Leader at a NATO Organization (EU)

At this NATO organization, I worked with native and non-native speakers on concise communication: “Elke’s training was an essential aspect of making our employees effective communicators. Through practical examples directly related to their real job duties, Elke guided team members in a respectful, practical manner. As the manager, I am very happy with the results."

Expat, Automotive Company (Germany)

I provided customized US culture training to German managers and family members on assignment to the US: "Elke is a very dedicated, friendly, and excellent trainer. She prepared each training session very well. She incorporated my wishes and interests into the training sessions. Her tips and experience are invaluable. She brings a lot of joy and passion to the training! The training has been very beneficial and helpful!"

Participant, Stanford Continuing Studies Course

Participants in my courses at Stanford Continuing Studies come from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. This was just one response: "Out of a dozen or so courses I have taken through Stanford Continuing Studies so far, Elke's Business Writing for Non-Native English Speakers was one of the very best! I learned so much in the 8 weeks."
