Our experts:
15 years of experience as a business negotiations consecutive interpreter. 10 years of experience in public speaking – webinars, lectures, trainings, presentations for people from all the world. Thousands of minutes on a stage, thousands of spoken out words. Thousands of trained people from more than 80 countries from all of the world. My name is Renata Miastowska.
I specialize in communication and cultural differences – they have a huge impact on the way how we understand others and how we are understood – I’ve learnt that while cooperating with various international companies in Poland and abroad (China, Italy, Finland, Germany and many others). I improve people’s communication skills, help them feel more comfortable while having presentation in a foreign language, teach how to convey their thoughts clearly and concisely as language doesn’t determine communication.
I am professionally involved into trainings related to Asian culture of business, different styles of negotiations in European and Asian countries and cultural differences in general which have huge impact on our communication and mutual understanding.
