Hi, I'm Dr. Elke Framson,
and I help international professionals communicate with greater confidence, precision, and impact in English. My clients come from around the world and across many industries, and they all share this one goal: to be more credible and convincing, whether they're pitching products, presenting ideas, negotiating with clients, or leading teams.
I've spent 30+ years in this field, teaching at universities in Europe and the US, pitching in our family business, and coaching leaders in small startups and large organizations.
Here's what I have learned: The communication that earns trust, drives influence, and gets results is not about being loud or pushy. It's about knowing how to lead a conversation, how to make people feel heard — and what to say next with confidence and clarity. That's what I call the Language of Influence.
The Language of Influence isn't tied to a specific job title. The principles are the same across roles — and you can learn them.
I can help you get there, through honest feedback and targeted guidance. So your communication works for and not against you, whether you're winning business in the US or leading teams across borders.
What My Clients Say
Team Leader at a NATO Organization (EU)
At this NATO organization, I worked with native and non-native speakers on concise communication: “Elke’s training was an essential aspect of making our employees effective communicators. Through practical examples directly related to their real job duties, Elke guided team members in a respectful, practical manner. As the manager, I am very happy with the results."
Expat, Automotive Company (Germany)
I provided customized US culture training to German managers and family members on assignment to the US: "Elke is a very dedicated, friendly, and excellent trainer. She prepared each training session very well. She incorporated my wishes and interests into the training sessions. Her tips and experience are invaluable. She brings a lot of joy and passion to the training! The training has been very beneficial and helpful!"
Participant, Stanford Continuing Studies Course
Participants in my courses at Stanford Continuing Studies come from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. This was just one response: "Out of a dozen or so courses I have taken through Stanford Continuing Studies so far, Elke's Business Writing for Non-Native English Speakers was one of the very best! I learned so much in the 8 weeks."
