What your company gets

A one-page summary for managers and HR. Private communication advisory for an employee whose technical work is stronger than the way it comes across in meetings.

The problem this solves

Experienced engineers, scientists, and analysts who learned English as a second language often lose influence in meetings. They lead with detail instead of the answer, hesitate on hard questions, and under-describe their own results. The work is strong. The room does not hear it. That costs the company ideas, slows decisions, and stalls a person you want to promote.

What the program includes

One-on-one sessions

  • 50-minute private sessions with Marina Lee, JD
  • Built around the employee's real presentations, reports, reviews, and meetings
  • Weekly check-in for time-sensitive situations
  • Practice out loud, not theory

What the company receives

  • A written progress report at the end of the program, on skills and goals
  • Invoice and W-9 for your accounts payable
  • Optional 15-minute kickoff with the manager to align goals
  • Optional manager input on progress, if the employee agrees

Confidentiality

Marina Lee is a U.S. business attorney, and confidentiality is fundamental to the advisory relationship. Session content is not reported to the employer. The company receives progress information related to agreed communication goals and development areas, not the substance of the employee’s conversations. That separation allows employees to bring real workplace situations into the advisory process and engage in the work candidly.

If your organization requires a separate confidentiality agreement, Marina can review and execute an appropriate agreement for an additional $250 fee. This fee covers review of a standard confidentiality agreement and any minor revisions needed to align it with the advisory engagement. Agreements requiring substantial negotiation, additional contractual obligations, or review of related legal or compliance documents will be quoted separately before any additional work is undertaken.

How to approve it

  1. Confirm the employee's professional development or learning budget with HR. Most tech, biotech, and pharma companies in the Triangle have one.
  2. Reply to the employee's email with approval, or use the contact form to request an invoice directly.
  3. Receive the invoice and W-9. Pay by card, ACH, or check.
  4. Optional: book a 15-minute kickoff call with Marina to share goals for the employee.
Why an attorney? For 20 years, Marina advised businesses, negotiated complex agreements, resolved high-stakes disputes, and developed legal strategies for decisions where clear communication, sound judgment, and persuasive positioning mattered.
