About Sawsan

The interpreter who became your coach.

I spent decades in rooms where words had consequences. As a United Nations conference interpreter and U.S. State Department translator, I worked in environments where a misplaced word could derail a negotiation.

Before coaching, I led operations at the legal division of City National Bank and served as administrator at several national law firms. I understand corporate environments from the inside, because I ran them.

Today I work one-on-one with professionals and executives who use English as a second language and are ready to take their communication to the next level. Not just fluent. Formidable.

"I am a very articulate person with very high standards. I took many trial classes and none of them fit my standard. When I met Sawsan I was impressed by how well-structured her classes were. She is a PROFESSIONAL teacher. My best decision of 2022 was to take classes with her."
