We offer training for executives to help them communicate better. With vast experience in working with global clients plus a team of English language specialists with expertise in global English we are able to train employees across functional areas.  Whether it is your sales, marketing, IT, project management or even supply chain management team, we can help them improve their communication skills so they can interact better with global clients, vendors and even with other Indian companies and vendors.

We also offer training in areas like communicating with the media and technical writing.

Back to top

My company is based outside India, but we have Indian offices and vendors. Can I Use Chillibreeze services?

Yes! If your company has an Indian location or partners in India or if you have service providers in India, we can help.

Are you sometimes confused or disappointed by the written communication you receive from them? Do you wish they wrote better English, so that information didn't get “lost in translation”?

We can help your Indian partners with general communication skills training to overcome their Indian English and equip them with global style communication skills.

Back to top

My company has a lot of global clients and vendors, how can we use Chillibreeze services?

If you manage a team in India that deals with Western clients or partners and are tired of tactless emails or poorly written business plans and memos, you need our services. If clients and coworkers often misinterpret your team’s confusing emails, project reports and other communication it is time to make a change.  Poor business communication can hurt the quality and efficiency of the service(s) your company provides.  Are you worried your bottom line will suffer because of this communication gap?

We can assist you in helping your executives communicate better which can impact the way you do business and help improve relations with your clients. Good communication translates to better business relationships which in turn brings in more business and lasting client relationships.

With a mix of on-site workshops and assessments, we can help get rid of the “Indianness” in your team’s writing. The workshop focuses on global business English communication.

Our trainers will show your team how to identify common errors of “Indian English” and explain how to rectify them. The goal is to have your team writing clear, crisp English that can be easily understood by readers in India, or anywhere else.

Is Chillibreeze qualified to conduct these workshops and assessments?

Since one of Chillibreeze's key services is to provide crystal clear content and communications to our partners around the world, we have trained hundreds of writers, editors and other staff to communicate better through their writing.    

We are now fully equipped to offer these training and assessment services to companies such as yours.

Back to top

What exactly will the general communication skills training involve?

Our on-site, personalized workshop is targeted at companies that want to improve their written communications, and maximize the clarity and quality of their services.

Our corporate training workshop consists of range of training modules based on your specific needs, including:

  • English grammar fundamentals and common stumbling blocks
  • Avoiding stuffy language, wordy or convoluted writing, jargon and clichés
  • Recognizing the influence of the mother tongue
  • Common Indianisms and how to avoid them
  • American and British English considerations

The initial part of the workshop will be used to gather input from the attendees to help the trainer understand specific problems or challenges.

Back to top

Can I expect a significant change?

If your team is able and willing to learn, you will see a significant change in their writing. We are also available to conduct follow-up workshops for the same team, making better communication a priority at your company.

Combined with our assessment services, we help you track performance of individual employees in your team to enable you to make efficient training, staffing and compensation related decisions.

Back to top

How do I measure the effectiveness of your training?

We will be administering a pre-workshop written test to all the attendees. Once the workshop is completed, there will be a follow-up test to assess the degree of change in your team’s writing skills.

Back to top

How many employees can be trained per workshop?

Smaller team sizes are recommended for better results. Around 10-15 attendees per workshop is ideal.

Back to top

What are the costs involved?

This depends on several factors, including the number of employees that will be attending the workshop, where your office is located, the number and types of modules you select, and so on. Email us at testing at chillibreeze dot com for a free quote or fill in this Contact Form.

Tell me something about your trainers.

Our trainers represent a cross-cultural team of native English speakers, writers and editors, all of whom have extensive experience working with and training Indian writers.

They are comfortable with both British and American English, and at the same time are familiar with ‘Indian English’ and the common writing errors committed by non-native speakers of the language.
