If projects are a regular part of your job, this episode is for you. Ever feel like you understand the words in a project meeting, but still don't feel confident joining the conversation? In this episode, I'll beak down a realistic business project from the first idea through to the final presentation. Along the way, you'll learn 15 pieces of core vocabulary that are used naturally when planning projects, making decisions, solving problems and communicating with stakeholders. Rather than memorising vocabulary lists, you'll start recognising the language patterns that come up again and again in real meetings, helping you understand conversations more quickly and feel more confident contributing to them. Enjoy! Anna
