In this episode I tell you about an experience I had giving a business presentation and Q&A in Spanish and what I learnt from that. It was quite an eye-opening experience and I wanted to share it with you because it might be useful in your communications too. I also realised that some areas are much more important than others and I tell you what those are.  The episode is a bit longer this week as I wanted to have enough time to cover all the points and was enjoying doing the analysis.I hope you can take something away from itJOIN WAITLIST FOR NEW ONLINE COURSE 2023 - I am releasing a new online course to help you feel more confident speaking up in meetings at work.

I wanted to do something different this week and reflect on one of the most impactful episodes since the start of the podcast. Nigel (The Interview Specialist) and I recorded this podcast in 2021. I thought it would be a great idea to revisit this episode as you may be a new listener and I think it's well worth listening to his expert tips and advice about how to have a successful interview in English. Nigel's Links@the_jobpodcasthttps://www.remtectalent.com/thejobpodcasthttps://www.remtectalent.com/ JOIN WAITLIST FOR NEW ONLINE COURSE 2023 - I am releasing a new online course to help you feel more confident speaking up in meetings at work.

Do you panic or avoid saying numbers at work? It's so common to feel like this. And normal. I'm the same in Spanish. We spend a lot of time thinking about the words and the sentence structures that we forget about these important things that come up all the time in work conversations. You can listen to the numbers and repeat to practice out loud or do a dication exercise with this episode. JOIN WAITLIST FOR NEW ONLINE COURSE 2023 - I am releasing a new online course to help you feel more confident speaking up in meetings at work.

I cover key vocabulary you can use to deliver constructive critcism and several examples in context that you can take and use in your day-to-day work. JOIN WAITLIST FOR NEW ONLINE COURSE 2023 - I am releasing a new online course to help you feel more confident speaking up in meetings at work.
