We optimise your business English
Our Business English Coaching is ideally suited for busy professionals and teams with a need for professional business English and who need to communicate appropriately beyond their existing English level.
We know that available time is precious and often scarce. Therefore Davies Business English, with the 'Personal Accelerated Learning' concept, has developed a way to convey the professional English which really helps you in an English-speaking business world - in the shortest time. We put you in the position to master speeches convincingly, conduct business meetings competently and give presentations with self confidence.
With Davies Business English you have a native speaker with many years of experience in Business English training. In addition to individual coaching, we also offer trainings for teams. We customise all content to your desired topics. Talk to us, together we will raise your Business English to a very professional level - personalised and efficient.
Why we are different
The Davies Business English learning concept goes far beyond that of conventional English courses. With us, you or your employees receive personal, intensive coaching. Thus successes are a lot faster. We do not give ordinary courses with standardised lessons.
We focus solely on efficient training of English for business purposes. You will benefit from the experience of a native speaker with a business background and you will not waste your time learning content which is not relevant.
Your coaching is planned with you right from the beginning with topics, grammar and vocabulary that meet your specific needs - exactly the English that you will use when you return to work.
Our coaching takes place in the ideal situation for you to concentrate on the language. This can be at your workplace, or for even better focus, on Mallorca away from the job. We prepare you for your short intensive training so that you know what to expect, and we follow up with regular updates so that you can continue to make progress even after the training.

Comments and recommendations from our clients
After the training, I started more relaxed into the daily conversations, rang up my colleagues pro-actively and contacted one potential customer in the UK. That was challenging but I felt good and so it worked well. Actually, I have no idea how to make the training better, because for me it was the best, I ever had. I also recommend you to some of my colleagues and friends.
Clive Davies ist ein excellenter Englischtrainer. Er löste meine Sprachbarrieren und hat es geschafft, dass ich ohne Angst Englisch spreche. Ich kann das Training mit Clive nur empfehlen. Clive ist außerdem als Proofreader und Übersetzer für meinen Verlag tätig. Auch hier liefert er sehr gute Arbeitsergebnisse und gewann einige Neukunden.
Clive Davies erfasste in erstaunlich kurzer Zeit alle wichtigen Inhalte und Ziele meines Vortrages. So hatten wir schnell die Struktur der Präsentation festgelegt und konnten mit dem Üben beginnen. Korrekturen von Grammatik und Vokabular flossen sehr unauffällig aber bestimmt ein. Das Bewusstsein dafür zu schulen, welche Wirkungen mit welcher Kommunikation (verbal und non-verbal) erzielt werden können, steht im Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Alles hat er mit großer persönlicher Wertschätzung begleitet. Die gemeinsame Arbeit mit ihm hat richtig Spass gemacht. Das wird sicher nicht das letzte Projekt mit Clive gewesen sein.
Hallo Clive, ich möchte mich auf diesem Weg für Deinen außergewöhnlichen Englischunterricht bedanken. Ich hatte zuvor so ziemlich alles probiert was üblicherweise für Wiedereisteiger Angeboten wird.Bei Deiner lockeren und Praxis bezogenen Art gewinnt man schnell an Selbstvertrauen und Sicherheit. Ich kann Deine Arbeit für jeden, der einsteigt oder sich weiterentwickeln will, nur empfehlen. Bis zum nächsten Mal.
I recommend personalised Business English training with Clive Davies to improve your confidence and ability to communicate at a professional level.

Brand purpose.
It’s one of the latest ‘hot topics’ and it’s got marketers using language in a creative way. Earlier today I was reading in Marketing Week about Bacardi’s plans to spend UK£12m on launching its ‘brand purpose’ - and I quote - ‘Do What Moves You’, which aims to “shine a spotlight on the brand’s belief in the power of self-expression”.
Now that looks and sounds more like a slogan with some slick justification behind it to me. For a start, how can a brand have a belief? The people who sell a product, or the guys at the advertising agency might have a belief, but a brand can’t have a belief? A brand isn’t a living, breathing, thinking, conscious being.
I think what...

It’s exam time.
For some people that I work with, it is the culmination of several months of turning up to classes twice a week and working through the pages of the course book. The main reason for attending is that ‘you need English everywhere these days.’ Even when people don’t need English in their jobs, they often tell me how a tourist asked for directions and, unable to speak Spanish, communicated their needs in English, even though it was not their native language.
Despite the improvements in technologies related to language translation it seems that the desire to learn is a widespread as ever, if not more so. However, I’m not convinced that the motivation is as strong. There...

I’ve lost my voice.
A combination of an allergic reaction to all the pollen in the air and a throat infection has silenced me. Now, I’m not looking for sympathy, it doesn’t really hurt, its just rather inconvenient. I have meetings to attend and calls to make. I’ve got classes to give this evening.
We often take things for granted in our daily lives and we talk so much that the ability to do so is one of them. However, not being able to communicate is a more common occurrence than we might at first think.
For me, it is something I see every day. The lack of language skills denies people of their voices. I live in Spain and when I...

A few days ago the BBC reported that IKEA is the latest company to say that it will stop selling ‘single-use plastic products’ - in this case by 2020 (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-44398356). The ‘war on plastic’ has really taken hold of public imagination and support over the last few months, largely, I suspect, as a result of tireless campaigns on social media showing a wide diversity of wild animal species with various items filling their digestive systems on the inside or entangling them on the outside. The disruptive power of the internet is very clear here.
‘Single-use plastics’ is a term that is used to mean plastic products that are ‘designed to be used once and then thrown away or...

Special of the day.
Special ale.
Special quality.
Special offer.
Special features.
Special occasion.
Special friend.
Special school.
Special edition.
Special reserve.
Special guest.
Special service.
Special product.
We all want to feel special. We all want the best.
It would be really nice to have the special rather than the ordinary.
However, the problem with ‘special’ is that everything can’t be special. Otherwise, it wouldn't be special.
So who decides what is special? Simply putting ‘special’ in the description of our products and services isn't really enough. If we want our customers to describe our products and services in this way then our goal must be to make our customers feel special. They must feel important. So ‘special’ isn't what we...
