Phoebe Blackburn

> I am a freelance editorial consultant for English, helping organisations to produce, update or optimise their communication in English and French. I also translate and adapt texts from French and German into English

> Facilitation, currently for the design agency Wiithaa, is a second 'hat' I wear. I'm part of a network of 40 facilitators worldwide, doing workshops on the circular economy using a Business Game, in companies & organisations transitioning to a circular economy model. Companies include: L'Oréal, Orange, Bouygues, universities, local authorities etc. Our network extends across several countries and I'm representing the network in Berlin.

> My third 'hat' is as an English and voice coach for decision-makers and artists, helping them to perform to the best of their ability in English and French. Recently I've coached managers at Veolia, Google, Banque de France, Keolis, Lagardère, Air Liquide and NGOs, and a French opera singer (for German). I recently passed my certification as a neurolanguage coach, bringing language skills to people using the principles of neuroscience and coaching. Try me!

> My work and life spans 3 cultures - French, German, English and I speak those languages fluently, having lived, worked and studied in all three.

> I've lived in a dozen European cities, including Hamburg, Munich, London, Paris, Barcelona, Bonn, Hanoi, Cambridge. I'm moving to Berlin this September but will have a base in Paris.
