Let's continue with this series. I go into depth with 3 more business expressions on the topic of taking action. I paint the picture, give you context and tell you where the expression actually comes from. This helps unlock the meaning and give you a visual guide to help remember it. After all, this is the key. How can you remember the expression so that in a meeting you get it? Creating a visual connection and giving context really helps your brain connect the dots. Anna

Do you hear others using phrasal verbs but they never seem to pop into your head? More or less you understand the meaning or perhaps you've seen them before but you just don't use them. This is really frustrating because you want to make progress and not just use the same words all the same. This is the first in a new series that will look at how to help you sound more advanced. We will start with phrasal verbs. Make sure you sign up to the newsletter to get the written summary with sentence examples that you can use.

Do you work on teams and have to ask your colleagues to do tasks? Do you ever feel uncomfortable because you aren't sure if what you are saying is too rude or direct? I've worked with many people that feel this way and it is completely understandable. You may already be working with office politics and then on top of that you don't want it to sound like an order. In this episode I take you through different phrases you can use from more direct to indirect.  Enjoy!
