About Ann Desseyn
I help leaders and global teams fix what often goes unsaid—the hidden breakdowns in communication that cost time, trust, and money.
With a background in auditing and multilingual coaching, I’ve worked at the point where culture, language, and business collide.
I am also the founder of Love Gàidhlig Ltd, an independent organisation based in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, dedicated to preserving and teaching Scottish Gaelic. Through this work I developed a communication model that doesn’t just protect a language, but transforms how people build confidence, listen, and connect across cultures. That same model now underpins my corporate practice, helping organisations achieve measurable results: clearer leadership communication, stronger team collaboration, and resilience under pressure.
