About Me

Hello, I'm Ruben Scapin. I am a Professional Development Trainer and a New Business Development Consultant with a passion for helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) thrive in today's dynamic global landscape. Bilingual in English and Italian, I bring a unique international perspective, having grown up and received my education in Canada, complemented by specialized courses in business and teaching.

With extensive experience as a Business English (ESL) teacher and a Sales Manager in the shoe and leather care industries, I've successfully managed sales, marketing, and exports across both EU and Extra-EU markets. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by companies looking to expand.

As a freelancer, I now channel this expertise into:

Professional Skills Development. I providing tailored training and skills enhancement for individuals and teams, focusing on vital 'soft' business skills like public speaking, negotiation, critical thinking, and cross-cultural communication, alongside specialized Business English lessons.

My Ideal Client

My ideal clients are small and medium-sized enterprises committed to growth and continuous improvement. These organizations often seek strategic support in Business English training, soft skill development in areas such as communication and public speaking, or international expansion. I provide the expertise, structure, and practical tools they need to strengthen their capabilities, enhance performance, and compete effectively in global markets.

Flexible, Practical Approach

My approach is fully tailored to each client’s specific context, goals, and capabilities. Every organization has unique strengths, and I build upon these to foster growth and create meaningful, actionable insights. All programs, materials, and methodologies are carefully designed to remain current, relevant, and aligned with real business needs, ensuring a practical and results-oriented learning experience.

What Makes Me Different

I bring a teaching and consulting methodology grounded in extensive, hands-on experience across multiple business sectors. Having worked within and alongside diverse industries, I understand the practical challenges companies face and how to address them effectively.

My background spans two distinct cultures and languages, giving me a high degree of empathy, adaptability, and cultural insight—qualities that allow me to tailor solutions precisely to each client’s needs. In short, my approach is never one-size-fits-all; every program and consultancy service is customized to deliver measurable results and lasting impact.
