When face-to-face coaching is not possible, video conferencing is the next best medium for coaching communication skills.  Skype, allows us to make this possible in an affordable manor!    The Speech Improvement Company Inc., is proud to offer Skype Video Coaching.  Work with coaches from the oldest speech-coaching firm in the United States without having to leave your office or home!  This is especially helpful to our clients overseas, as costs may prohibit their travel to the United States.  

Normally, we do not offer hourly coaching time blocks when we travel outside of Massachusetts, so primarily, our work is designed for full day or week long programs.  If you do not live in the Boston Area, but would like to work with a coach by the hour, then you are in luck!  Using Skype Video Coaching, you may schedule sessions with your coach.   

Not in our time zone?

Don't worry, we'll do our best to accommodate time changes.  We've worked with clients via Malaysia, which is a 12 hour time change!
