International Business Communication Consultant

Clear communication,
confident leadership.

I’m Morgan — a British consultant with over 20 years’ experience across corporate IT, project delivery and technology leadership. Based in Lyon, I help technical teams, leaders and startups turn complex ideas into clear, confident communication for English-speaking clients, colleagues and decision-makers.

Morgan Pugh

Over 20 years bridging technology and business decisions

I spent over 20 years working across corporate IT, infrastructure, project delivery, solution design and technical leadership. Throughout that career, I regularly translated complex technical information for executives, customers, stakeholders and delivery teams — adapting the same subject for audiences with very different priorities.

I saw first-hand how unclear communication creates delays, weakens confidence and leads to unnecessary rework, particularly when teams are working across languages and business cultures. I now use that experience to help technical teams, leaders and startups communicate their expertise more clearly to English-speaking audiences.

A clear process from first conversation to follow-up

Every engagement begins with a structured discovery call to understand your organisation, your audience and the communication challenges affecting your team.

01

Discovery call

We discuss where communication currently becomes unclear, the business impact this is having and what you would like participants to do differently.

02

Initial assessment

I review the information gathered during the call and, where appropriate, examples of presentations, emails or other communication materials supplied by your team.

03

Recommended programme

You receive a clear proposal setting out the issues identified, the recommended workshop format, intended outcomes, deliverables and cost.

04

Workshop and follow-up

The workshop uses examples and scenarios relevant to your organisation. Afterwards, you receive a summary of the principal findings and recommended next steps, with an optional review session after six to eight weeks.

Work in practice

Every engagement is different. Here are a few examples of the kinds of problems clients bring to me — and what changed.

Cross-cultural
collaboration
Bridging communication across cultures

A company working across several international markets faced recurring delays and strained relationships with English-speaking counterparts in the UK, US and Australia. Through tailored group coaching and workshops, their project managers and directors explored tone, politeness strategies, and cultural expectations around hierarchy and deadlines, using real examples from their own experience.

→ Fewer delays, stronger collaboration, and more positive relationships with international partners.
Startup
growth
Helping a startup win international clients

A small startup, successful in its home market, struggled to win business abroad — subtle gaps in vocabulary and confidence made them appear less competent than they were. Coaching focused on sales pitches, high-pressure client questions, and presenting their product with clarity and conviction.

→ Won their first UK client within months, and has since secured several more international contracts.
