Louise Evans - Director of INPRESA

Louise Evans comes from Cambridge, UK where she initially qualified as a teacher of English as a foreign language (TEFL Diploma). After having lived and worked in France and Germany, she moved to Firenze in 1986 where she has since been working as a language and communication skills consultant throughout Italy. In 1988 she set up her training company, INPRESA.

At the beginning of her career in Italy, Louise concentrated on developing her skills in the field of language consultancy by launching her very successful 'De-italianization' course which was used extensively in multinationals and SME companies. At the same time she was designing and running specialist courses for her international clients in the fields of International shipping, Import/Export, Textiles, International fairs, Journalism, Human Resources and European 'Big event' entertainment programming.

She then moved on to specialize in International Business Communication skills designing programmes for top, middle and junior management and high potentials from the following multinationals based in Italy: Air Liquide, Alitalia, Telecom Italia, Gucci, Kenwood, Albacom, Duracell and Manpower.

More recently Louise has responded to an increasing demand from multinationals to have 'blended' training programmes and is designing courses which combine 3 forms of training: on-line (at distance), on the telephone and traditional face-to-face communication seminars.

In the last few years she has focussed her attention on delivering Inter-cultural sensitization programmes to her international clients in order to complete the training process of developing people internationally.

As a trainer, Louise is appreciated for her dynamic and creative training approach and her ability to enthuse her clients.

In her spare time she sings Jazz with her trio and travels the world to explore different cultures.
