About Izabelle
Hi, I’m Izabelle (Dr. Grenon), and I help people like you speak with clarity, confidence, and calm—even if public speaking feels terrifying right now.
If you’re nervous about speaking in front of others, you’re not alone. I used to be incredibly shy myself. In fact, during my very first teaching job, some students were so unsure about me that they asked to change instructors! (Yes, that really happened.)
But over time—and after teaching thousands of people—I learned how to overcome that fear. And now I help you do the same.
Whether you're preparing for a class presentation, a conference talk, a business pitch, or simply want to speak up more confidently at meetings or in social settings, I’ll work with you step by step. Together, we’ll:
• Build your confidence and find your voice.
• Learn how to structure what you say so people stay engaged.
• Practice body language, tone, and pacing to keep your audience hooked.
• Explore strategies to manage nerves and think clearly under pressure.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your goals. I create a safe space for you to grow—and to enjoy the process.
I’ve taught over 1,000 lessons and delivered workshops to people of all ages, including:
• A 3-hour session for teenage English learners in Japan
• An 80-minute workshop for sixth graders in Mauritius
• Graduate-level communication courses at The University of Tokyo (where I taught for over a decade)
You don’t need to be a native speaker, or even an experienced one, to start speaking powerfully. You just need someone who knows how to guide you there.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for—I’d love to work with you!

10 Weeks to Stronger Communication & Presentation Skills
Whether you’re new to public speaking or looking to refine your skills, this 10-week workshop is designed to help you communicate with clarity, confidence, and ease—in both professional and everyday situations.
Each session builds practical tools you can apply immediately, from crafting a compelling introduction to managing nerves and leaving a lasting impression.
Workshop Overview
1. What is Public Speaking? Why it matters—and how to use it in real life
2. Start Small, Start Strong – Craft a powerful elevator pitch
3. Finding Your Message – Brainstorming topics with clarity and purpose
4. What’s Your Takeaway? – Designing a message people will remember
5. Structure That Works – Organizing your ideas for clarity and flow
6. Open Strong, Close Stronger – First impressions and final impact
7. Titles That Hook – Naming your talk in a way that draws people in
8. Your Voice Matters – Pacing, rhythm, and calming your nerves
9. Beyond Words – Body language, pronunciation, and presence
10. Speak & Grow – Present your talk and give/receive constructive feedback
Why These Skills Matter
Public speaking isn’t just for the stage—it’s for life. You’ll use these skills when you:
• Ace a job interview
• Pitch your business or ask for funding
• Present a report or lead a meeting
• Negotiate, influence, or inspire others
• Advocate for your ideas—or yourself
• Even when having challenging conversations with friends, partners, or kids
Stronger communication leads to stronger relationships, better opportunities, and greater personal confidence.
My workshops are interactive, encouraging, and tailored to real-world situations. By the end of the course, you’ll know what to say, how to say it—and how to own the room when you do.

Studying with Izabelle is not a choice, it’s a privilege. I have never seen anyone with a more gentle heart than Izabelle, while at the same time, being such a workaholic. She can’t do enough. She works very hard and it pays off. She has presented at numerous conferences around the world, have designed dozens of courses for first year up to graduate students at the university level. She has acquired and refined her qualifications as an expert in cross-cultural communication based on her personal experience living in very different countries (US, Canada, Denmark, Japan, Turkey, Mauritius) combined with her expertise in linguistics. As a result, she knows deeply about cross-cultural communication. As a presenter, she is well articulated and fluent in English, which is amazing since she learned English later in life. She said studying phonetics helped her with becoming a fluent English speaker, and she has since taught English phonetics several times to help others become fluent in the language.
Izabelle is a fantastic presenter and amazing teacher! I have known her for many years, seen her present to adults, teenagers and children. They all absolutely loved her. I also saw some great interviews she did for various podcasts. She has a way to captivate from the beginning, but also to keep the audience captivated even for 3 hours straight (for a workshop to teenagers in Japan)! I think anyone can relate to her because she is authentic and genuinely care about her students.
If you want to learn public speaking from the best, then go with Izabelle.I have known Isabelle for over twenty years, first as a graduate student under my direction, later as a colleague. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her subject matter. Moreover she has a wealth of cross-cultural experience, both within the university setting and in the wider community. So she understands, not just her subject matter, but her students and the challenges they face.
