Getting off the Ground Globally

The Point Person

Constance Genet Konold , an American of French heritage, has an extensive track record of international business-writing in the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia - in English and in French. Her writing skills include adaptability to specific audiences and cultures. Her "voice" ranges from the strictly professional approach used for such clients as a metal container manufacturer (USA), a major champagne producer (France), a fruit grower and processor (Ecuador), a worldwide trade association of manufacturers, and a prestigious MBA program at one of France's finest business schools to a more humorous vein for general interest articles. She organizes and teaches seminars in communications, tutors in résumé(CV)-writing and coaches in career management and related integration situations. She is the founder and manager of both The Satellite Crew and Career Coaching Crossroads.

She holds a Master's of Arts in Teaching French and English from the University of Notre Dame and a BA in French from the University of Wisconsin (USA).

She is also certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (T.E.F.L.) and has a long-held American Field Service (F.S.I.) French language rating of 5+/6. She is trained in career development, résumé(CV)-writing and business communications, including Web-text writing, as well intercultural management.

Constance Konold has developed a dynamic network of other highly referenced freelance communicators and many other persons working in complementary fields such as NLP, creativity and personal development training, Web design and image creation. This one-step to-the-point communications process facilitates clients' efforts to "get off the ground globally", in the workplace and in their personal lives.
