With over twenty-five years experience in communication skills, language training and consulting at corporate level, Judy has developed her own particular style based on both her studies and experience. An honours graduate in French and Spanish, speaker of five languages, a qualified teacher and trainer, legal and official translator (for the Monaco Law courts), Judy has worked in four countries and set up her own businesses in three.

Judy also worked for 4 years as Regional Manager (PACA, Monaco, Corsica) for Educational Testing Service (USA), dealing with the sales and teacher training of the foreign language testing unit of ETS. This set her up as a specialist in exam preparation and stress management resulting in several articles, conferences and lectures on the subject.

She currently runs her own communications consultancy from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (next to Monaco) and is director of UK based Language Consulting Services Ltd. She lives on the French Riviera but spends her time travelling the globe.

Her six years as English Training Manager for Merck- Théramex (Monaco/Paris) provided her with the necessary experience and credentials to become a specialist in the medical and pharmaceutical field. In 2006 she ran training courses in French across France training French Dermatologists in Non-verbal communication skills. In 2007 she worked on doctor/patient communication projects with three major pharmaceutical companies and several medical communication seminars in partnership with the communications giant Publicis. Using Transactional Analysis as the communication tool, she developed and wrote the modules and then conducted courses throughout France training Rheumatologists in guiding patients through Change and Transition, Gynaecologists in improved Patient Compliance and Ophthalmologists in Public Speaking.

In 2007 she received the CityWealth platinum award for professional excellence in her field.

2007/2008 saw Judy develop and run her own brand of assertiveness training for one of the major international pharmaceutical companies. This course was rolled out across Europe and South America, conducted in five languages and is still ongoing with courses currently lined up for Africa and the Middle East and Latin America during 2009. On a local level she has also been working with Monaco based company Moore Stephens Services running courses in professional English and Business etiquette and also coaching HNW individuals.

A former athlete, Judy is currently developing a new partnership with the World Olympians’ Association enabling her to link her passion for sport and education.
