Why Diversity & Inclusion classes?
Diversity training is an important step in achieving that goal. Training helps employees become more aware of unconscious bias and other barriers to diversity and inclusion, and motivates positive behaviors and attitudes – essential for creating and maintaining a respectful, inclusive workplace.
- Diversity boosts a company’s reputation
- Increase clarity, productivity & efficiency
- Inclusivity opens the door to a larger, more diverse talent pool
- Diverse ideas lead to greater innovation and creativity
- Diversity and inclusion efforts will make your company better—in every sense of the word
- Bring deep peace and relaxation
- A collaborative learning platform can help you reach your diversity goals
Conscious and Unconscious Bias
When you know your unconscious biases, you’ll have way better control of all your business decisions
Reduce unconscious bias to strengthen your team.
Unconscious bias throws a wrench into any plans to make diversity work. That means it’s the greatest enemy of belonging and psychological safety.
Which means it’s the greatest enemy of innovation.
Our workshops can help you see your unconscious bias and take control of it. That means better decision-making and a better workplace.

Negotiation and Persuasion
“Influencers” make a name for themselves because they can make others change or take action. Whether in a boardroom or on a social media platform, people who can influence others possess one or both of these skills: persuasion and negotiation.
In this course, we’ll review the differences, competencies, and use cases for persuasion and negotiation. You’ll also learn common types and tactics. Finally, we’ll look at common mistakes to avoid when trying to influence others, and learn five steps critical to improving your negotiation and persuasion skills.

Interview Coaching
Need to prepare for a big interview?
I’ll help you learn and master techniques to overcome interview anxieties, develop confidence, articulate your strengths and understand your weaknesses so you can land the job you really want.
Who do I help?
We help people from a wide variety of careers who need to prepare for a big interview or series of interviews. This service is for people who:
- Want to make a great, strong impression at interview.
- Would like support to deal with the natural anxieties of interview situations.
- Have not been through an interview process, or not for some time, and feel unsure of what to expect or how to prepare.
- Have had a number of interviews, but perhaps haven’t achieved the success they had hoped.
What do I do?
We understand the psychology of interview success, what leading employers are looking for, and what does and doesn’t work in interviews. I draw on cutting-edge research in interview psychology, as well as on my own extensive experience of assessment, and deep expertise in human behaviour.
What does the process involve?
Firstly, a short meeting or call to discuss your needs and the support required. This is typically followed by two face-to-face 90 minute sessions with me. The approach and number of sessions will be tailored to your needs and objectives.
During the sessions, constructive feedback will help you achieve effective interview technique and demonstrate with confidence what you can offer.
We will also equip you with the latest research and evidence-based techniques to ensure you achieve interview success every time. And we will set exercises, do role play and simulate a real interview, as well as recommend books or talks for you to watch in between sessions.
Outcomes
You’ll be thoroughly prepared and more confident to deliver your best interview.
Get in touch!
If you feel I might help you, it’s best to meet or speak by phone about your situation. After that I’ll make a proposal based around your requirements.

About me
More Than Your Average English Educator
I listen. I care.
It´s my vocation.
Most Language Consultancy Firms and Academies here in Madrid exploit teachers and “native speakers”.
Do you really want to contribute to this ecosystem? The system allows it but, must you play along? How you spend your money is a vote for the type of world you want to live in.
If you choose to work with me, then you receive my attention 100% from start to finish. You are my project. Ask any of my past clients who I am proud to say still call me a trusted advisor and dare I say a friend.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Veronica G. Ochoa,
MBA, MA. Bilingual Education
