Cardiff University/Marcus Evans Linguarama
I am a communication consultant primarily for manufacturing and insurance companies in Germany and Japan. I completed my MSc at Cardiff University and have gained professional qualifications in HR and learning and development since. In the past, I worked in Hiroshima and supported a couple of local universities and the regional energy company. At the moment, I am supporting companies in Dusseldorf and enrolled as a postgraduate again at Cardiff University. My current research interests concern soft skills training such as the genre of presentations and intercultural professional communication.

This presentation draws on solutions identified by clients, colleagues and feedback.
