Live, Bold & Communicating Better

Episode Title: “Do We All Speak the Same Language?”

In this lively and insightful episode of WowErgonomics, hosts Graham Coath and Steven Howe are joined by two incredible communicators: Jacqui Turner, founder of Turn a Corner Learning Solutions, and Sandra Kasparek, bilingual educator and advocate for fun, practical language learning.

We kick things off with a Friday vibe and a nod to charity champions at Posturite before diving into the deeper discussion: why communication — across languages, departments, and leadership levels — often falls flat, and what we can do about it.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • Why learning French might just improve your English

  • What team leaders really need to know before they start managing

  • Why poor training costs more than no training at all

  • How language (both spoken and cultural) shapes success in business

  • What Sandra means by “life in twos” — and what her third mystery "two" might be!

  • Why Jacqui is known as the Customer Service Dancing Queen — yes, really

Along the way, expect a few detours through star signs, sourdough baguettes, and why pressing the “English” button abroad might be a metaphor for every lazy email we’ve ever sent.

💡 From bilingual brilliance to building internal trainers who actually train, this episode explores the real meaning of effective communication — and why it’s about time we did training differently.

🛠️ Whether you’re a language lover, workplace leader, or simply tired of “death by PowerPoint,” this one’s for you.

📣 Listen, laugh, and maybe learn to ask for aniseed balls in French.
