Are you an international senior manager who wants to feel more confident communicating in English? I’m Anna Connelly, an Advanced Neurolanguage Coach®, and every week I bring you practical business English strategies to help you communicate more confidently at work. The ideas in this podcast come directly from the real communication challenges I work on with senior managers in my coaching sessions every day, including difficult meetings, presentations, speaking up, explaining complex ideas, handling pressure and sounding more natural in English. So, in many ways, think of each episode as a short coaching session with me: practical, focused and designed to give you something you can actually use at work. Listeners tell me they love the podcast because it’s clear, to the point and relevant to their working lives and, most importantly, because they can see tangible results with their confidence. So, ready to take the next step? Let’s crack on.
