"wherever I go, good talkers get promoted."

"Traditional Business English classes are not helping me with real workplace comms."

"I prefer email, hate phone calls and meetings."

"Where to start when it comes to small talk?"

"I dread being put on the spot in meetings."

"I sound awkward giving updates in the weekly team meeting."

"I can't keep meetings on track so usually end up achieving nothing."

"Presentations? My worst nightmare."

"Great slides, terrible presentations."

"Struggling to know when to speak up vs. stay quiet."

"How to disagree respectfully and get my messages across?"

"Executives don't seem to understand me."

"Getting nothing out of 1:1s; how to make my boss understand my perspectives?"

"How to push back on things?"
