Frequently Asked Questions

Employers will usually pay for accent modification and speech problems for their executives, CEOs, high level personnel and people they highly value.  Some companies have personal development programs that all employees can take advantage of that include accent reduction training.  Ask your employer or HR specialist about reimbursement and accent training availability.  If your company does not offer this, let me know and I will contact your employer and do my best to encourage them to make this available to their employees.  If they are unable to finance the program, I keep the cost low and offer an easy three payment plan.
