Professionals working in English-language environments who need fluency that holds up under pressure — leading meetings, defending plans, presenting to stakeholders.
Companies sending teams into high-stakes English-language environments — international rollouts, cross-functional projects, customer-facing programs that need to ship in English.

Lean English Consulting was founded by Tom Sicola, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with 20+ years of consulting experience. Tom built this program because most training treats language skills and business skills as separate.
