Hello, I’m Dr. Izabelle Grenon—an experienced communication coach, researcher, and international public speaker with over 20 years of global experience.

I specialize in helping professionals communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact—whether on stage, in meetings, or across cultures. My background combines academic rigor with real-world insight: I spent more than a decade as an Associate Professor at The University of Tokyo, Japan’s top-ranked university, where I designed and taught communication courses to undergraduate and graduate students from around the world.

Throughout my career, I’ve delivered over 1,000 lessons and workshops, ranging from academic instruction to youth engagement programs, including presentations at international conferences and coaching graduate students preparing for high-level academic speaking. My work bridges disciplines and audiences—from science and academia to education and intercultural communication.

Clients and students describe me as clear, compassionate, and effective—particularly skilled at simplifying complex ideas and helping speakers discover a message and style that feels both authentic and strategic.

Currently, I offer personalized one-on-one coaching in public speaking tailored for professionals who want to elevate their presence and impact. For a broader audience, I also facilitate interactive workshops designed to build strong communication skills in an engaging and supportive environment.

Whether you’re preparing for a major keynote, refining your leadership presence, or simply want to feel more confident speaking in everyday situations, my coaching and workshops are grounded in experience, empathy, and proven results.

I worked with Izabelle for the first time about 25 years ago. She was working with us on a film making project. She later worked for my own film project as first assistant director. Despite her young age at the time, she have shown herself very capable and able to coordinate all the staff on set without a hitch. As you can imagine, with 25 more years of experience, including working for 12 years at the most prestigious university in Japan, Izabelle has become an accomplished and well-respected researcher and educator. Izabelle is also a writer, and I had the privilege to follow some of her work. Her writing, just as her speaking, is well-organized, detail-oriented, and captivating. I can’t recommend her enough. She is the teacher you want to have to improve your communication skills.

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 la

I have known Izabelle personally for a very long time, and have had the privilege of following her career and life adventures with great interest, as she moved from one country to the other. She has a fascinating background and colourful personality. She is a very dedicated and hard working person, but also very kind and approachable. I can’t imagine a more appropriate teacher for teaching communication, presentation skills. She is the cream of the cream. In doubt about who to choose, don’t hesitate. Choose Izabelle and you won’t be disappointed.
