    Confident Business English

    Are you an international senior manager who wants to feel more confident communicating in English? I’m Anna Connelly, an Advanced Neurolanguage Coach®, and every week I bring you practical business English strategies to help you communicate more confidently at work.

    The ideas in this podcast come directly from the real communication challenges I work on with senior managers in my coaching sessions every day, including difficult meetings, presentations, speaking up, explaining complex ideas, handling pressure and sounding more natural in English.

    So, in many ways, think of each episode as a short coaching session with me: practical, focused and designed to give you something you can actually use at work.

    Listeners tell me they love the podcast because it’s clear, to the point and relevant to their working lives and, most importantly, because they can see tangible results with their confidence.

    So, ready to take the next step? Let’s crack on.

    Show notes

    Are hold and have a meeting the same? What about call off and cancel? Can I use them all the time? How do I make sure that when I organise a meeting I say the correct thing? These are the typical questions and worries I've heard from clients and in this episode I want to get rid of your doubts so the next time you feel confident you are saying the right thing. I go over all the key vocabulary around scheduling, rescheduling, cancelling and delaying as well as highlighting important differences about formality and as always some extra tips and tricks too.

    185. What To Say When You Don't Have The Answer + Q&A Rise, Raise, Arise Jul 05, 2023
    Show notes

    Recently I received an email from a listener who said this:

    Other topic that could be interesting I think that it is about the manner to reply a message when you do not have the response at this moment. For example, is it correct to say "I come back with the response as soon as possible"?

    Thanks very much for your suggestion Isabel. I think it's a really good question and one that could be really useful for the all podcast listeners. In the episode I share with you core phrases you can use as well as an important grammar point that is often overlooked here.

    Also, stick around until the end of the episode where I am going to answer a burning question that you have had before:

    "What's the difference between rise, raise and arise?"

    Want a free summary of all the examples and tips I talk about in the episode?
