Helena Kaufman is an award-winning writer who headed her own public relations and marketing firm for 23 years, serving corporate clients and diverse community associations. She has been an English instructor in Poland, and designed and delivered the Image, Business Writing and Cultural Communication seminar at Douglas College’s Self Employment Program and the “Write!” course for Vancouver School Board Continuing Education.
Her almost 30-year body of work as a writer, columnist and trainer comprises many 100s of articles on the “conversations” that connect people across cultures, and sometimes over great distances. Helena coaches individuals and delivers custom in-company training on specialized communication topics.
Helena Kaufman has been bridging cultures using the communication tools of speech and writing and interpretation of context, since learning her first words. Adaptation to languages and cultures in those critical early years was necessary as her family travels took her to live in three countries and two continents, before arriving in Canada to learn English.
Now, Helena encourages colleagues and clients to embrace the potential, the challenges and rewards of intercultural communication. Her mission is to share the communication skills and passion for language based on 30 successful years representing her clients in words and through events in the media, within their organizations and to other stakeholders in the community or their company.
Inspired by the need for "global literacy" and the critical need to be understood as well as to communicate with the way and pace our 'audiences' need, Helena has adapted the tools she uses in her daily work as writer, teacher and as solo traveler. The "new communication formula" hinges on these elements:
- the magic of technology now bringing us together more closely and more often than ever before
- an urgent need to establish connection, relationships and good communication across distances
- the accelerated speed at which we must accurately interpret and send messages
- a sensitivity to cultural and language from the sending to the receiving points of a message
