Live Facilitated Sessions
How are the live virtual sessions delivered?
Live 1:1 and team sessions are structured into 1 to 1.5 hour weekly sessions delivered via Zoom. Individual or group work is assigned between sessions for practical application and team building. This format allows you to practice skills in real workplace situations and get feedback in the following session.
What time zones are live sessions offered in?
Live facilitated sessions are delivered via Zoom between Mountain Standard Time (MST) and IST time zones, typically early morning MST/evening IST, with some limited slots during US business hours (MST). Contact us for specific scheduling options.
How long does the live facilitated program take?
Duration ranges from 3-8 weeks depending on customization, delivered as 1 to 1.5 hour weekly sessions with individual or group work between sessions for practical application and skill building.
Do you review my actual work emails?
Individual email review is not included in either the online self-paced or live facilitated course. However, for live facilitated sessions, we may include team email drafts for live feedback and can discuss individual email correction for an additional fee. Self-paced course participants can contact us for 1:1 coaching if desired.
Can we customize the content for our industry?
Yes! We can discuss customization options for both formats – either through licensed content integrated into your company’s LMS (self-paced version) or through tailored live facilitated sessions. Contact us to discuss your specific industry needs.
Do you offer ongoing support after the live course ends?
We can discuss ongoing support options for live facilitated sessions. Some teams schedule a one-month follow-up session to review progress, discuss outcomes, and address remaining questions. Contact us to explore support options for your team. Note: No ongoing support is included with the self-paced course.
Can I get a certificate after completing live sessions?
Yes! Certificates are provided upon completion of live facilitated sessions.
General Questions
Is this course only for IT professionals in India?
This email writing course is open to anyone in India who works with US counterparts, clients, or colleagues. While the foundational email writing skills benefit all professionals, we specifically tailor content for Indian professionals working with US Americans, focusing on US-Indian English differences and cultural context that enhances both email and conversational communication.
I work with UK/Australian clients – is this course still relevant?
Yes! This course will help you write effective emails with UK/Australian clients, particularly the email formatting frameworks and professional communication structures that translate to working domestically within India or with professionals in practically any country. However, since we focus specifically on language and cultural nuances between the US and India, those specific insights may not always apply to other cultures.
Is this course suitable for intermediate English speakers?
Yes! This program is specifically designed for intermediate level English speakers who use English as a second language in global business environments with US Americans.
What results have other participants achieved?
Participants report tangible improvements including: 75% reduction in manager escalations, significantly faster response times from US colleagues, increased confidence in writing skills, reduced work stress, and the ability to self-identify and correct mistakes independently. Many find that email writing improvements naturally enhance their overall English communication confidence in meetings and presentations as well.
How quickly will I see improvements in my email writing?
You can see improvements within the first few hours as all content is designed for immediate, practical application. While the online module can be completed in 3 hours and live sessions run 3-8 weeks, we recommend staggering the content over 3-8 weeks to allow time for implementing skills progressively. Beyond improvements in your writing, previous participants report receiving responses 1-7 days earlier, building more effective relationships via email and in live meetings, and applying these skills to meetings, demos, presentations, and other corporate communications.
Will this help me get faster responses from US colleagues?
Yes! Previous participants report receiving responses 1-7 days earlier after applying course strategies. By learning US communication preferences for email formatting, subject lines, and professional tone, you’ll craft emails that are easier for US colleagues to read, understand, and respond to quickly.
What’s the difference between the self-paced and live versions?
Both courses are based on the same 29-lesson framework. The self-paced version offers consistent, on-demand content you complete independently. The live facilitated version provides interactive sessions that can be customized and adjusted in length based on your team’s specific needs, with opportunities for real-time feedback and group discussion.
Do you cover AI tools for email writing?
Coming Soon! Have you used AI writing assistants like ChatGPT, Copilot, email smart replies, or AI meeting recording tools? Our upcoming module will explore when AI tools help and when they harm cross-cultural business communication, how to avoid embarrassing AI-generated mistakes or tone changes, plus how to maintain company confidentiality.
