Feeling confident asking questions is important for you. Moving to online working at times makes it more difficult to raise a question in the middle of meeting. I bet there are also other common interactions where you would like to ask a question but  instead you don't say anything but it's easier to avoid in. In this interactive episode I hope to help boost, even if it's just a little, with common business questions. Confidence comes from practice and I'll be inviting you to practice along with me.

You want to sound better in the way you communicate in English, right? Here is one powerful word I would highly recommend adding into your vocabulary to show more conviction but also give caution.  I noticed coaching clients that many didn't feel comfortable using this word. Therefore, in this episode I wanted to train on just this one word as in my opinion, it's one you can use a lot and worth learning. This is an interactive episode where you can practice with me.

Looking to express yourself more clearly and accurately? Build your confidence with these 6 key business adjectives you can start using in your next meeting.
