About Us
We Didn't Create Another English Course.
We Created the Training We Wish Existed.
Business in Motion was born from a simple observation: Many professionals understand English. Far fewer can use it confidently when decisions, negotiations, leadership and business performance are at stake.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Kelly Batafoe
Founder of Business in Motion & English Rize
At 16, Kelly moved to Boston. What was initially a language journey became a life-changing experience. Living, studying and working in an English-speaking environment taught her something powerful: People do not learn a language because they memorize it. They learn it because they use it.
Years later, after becoming an English trainer and working with students, managers, executives and business professionals, she noticed the same recurring problem. Many learners had studied English for years. Yet they still struggled to speak when it truly mattered.
During meetings. During presentations. During negotiations. During moments of pressure.
Business in Motion was created to solve that problem.
Our story
Why Business in Motion Exists
Traditional language training often focuses on grammar, vocabulary and exercises. These elements are important. But business professionals need something more. They need training that prepares them for reality.
The reality of:
- → Board meetings
- → International negotiations
- → Budget discussions
- → Strategic decisions
- → Investor presentations
- → Leadership communication
- → Crisis management
Business in Motion transforms English training into a professional decision-making experience.
Because confidence is built through action, not theory.
Philosophy
From Language Learning to Leadership Communication
At Business in Motion, we believe that professional English is not only about language. It is about:
Influence
Communicating ideas clearly and persuasively.
Confidence
Speaking without hesitation under pressure.
Presence
Being heard, understood and respected.
Performance
Delivering results in international environments.
Leadership
Guiding conversations when decisions matter.
