About Business Speech Improvement


Services Provided

Business Speech Improvement in Chattanooga, Tennessee specializes in helping professionals and managers improve their communication and brainstorming techniques. Areas of focus include public/persuasive speaking, listening skills for leaders, 21st century brainstorming methods for managers, inter-generational and inter-cultural communication, individual learning assessment and study tips, foreign and regional accent modification, improvement in diction and grammar, lip-reading for people with hearing loss, and assessment and therapy for speech impairments.

How do these services differ from that of either a general business communication trainer or a traditional speech pathologist?

As a corporate speech pathology practice, Business Speech Improvement's services combine the micro-analysis of a highly trained professional speech pathologist with the other communication skills needed in business today. As a speech pathologist, the owner, Katie Schwartz, CCC-SLP, examines both what is said and how it is spoken simultaneously. As a business consultant, she also considers the needs and interests of the listener. The mode of communication, such as the telephone, is important, too.
