Episode notes
Pair Language With Soft Skills
- Focus on soft skills (small talk, storytelling, humor) alongside grammar and vocabulary.
- Practice them to climb the career ladder and make stronger connections.
Soft Skills Complement Language Skills
- Soft skills and language skills are complementary, not substitutes, for success.
- Developing both produces better communication and career outcomes.
Train Confidence As A Specific Skill
- Practice sounding confident even before you feel confident by controlling posture, eye contact, and pacing.
- Train specific problems (fluency, vocabulary, confidence) with targeted exercises, not generic grammar drills.
