Number 1: 339. The Confidence Sessions: Being More Confident Isn’t the Goal — It’s What Comes Next
What would more confidence actually allow you to do? In this epsiode on The Confidence Session series, I invite you to look beyond confidence itself and explore what it can lead to in your career and life. This is especially useful if you are lacking motivation or have had a difficult experience with English recently. We’ll also look how the words you use before a high-pressure situation could influence how you perform. Book source: How Confidence Works, The New Science of Self Belief, Ian Robertson.

Number 2: 340. The Confidence Sessions: The Invisible Baggage Holding You Back
What are you carrying around with you when you speak English at work? In this Confidence Session, I explore Ian Robertson's idea of “mental backpacks”. These are the labels, past experiences and beliefs that can quietly affect how you perform. We’ll also look at why the right level of challenge can give you a boost, why things stop feeling rewarding once they become comfortable, and how beliefs about being a non-native speaker could be influencing you more than you realise.

Number 4: 332. The Project Vocabulary Every Senior Manager Needs
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.
