Recently, I've been getting the same question from my clients. "How do I use the present perfect properly? I understand the technical grammar but I have doubts about when to use it."  As you are always a senior manager too, you may also lack confidence in how to use. That's why I wanted to dedicate an episode to covering this in-depth and help build your confidence with it. It is a HIGHLY useful tense to feel comfortable with as we use it all the time in business. I hope you find it useful. Anna
