Let's do another of my Key Takeaways episode. This is where I take learnings from recent client sessions I think you will find very helpful to feel more confident with business english vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. This week I picked 4 very common business phrasal verbs that are definitely worth knowing, a great phrase to delegate work while still sounding motivational and a tricky word to pronounce which appears when justifying your decisions. Enjoy! Anna

In this episode of Confident Business English, Iâm joined by Joely Pullen, who owns Savvy English. A company with 2000+ students across 25 companies, for the first part of a real, unscripted conversation about confidence at work. We talk about a challenge we both see all the time: professionals who already have a good level of English but donât feel confident using it when it really matters. If youâve ever thought âI know what I want to say, but I just donât say it,â this episode will resonate. We explore the difference between confidence and competence, why this is often harder to fix than language itself, and whatâs really going on beneath the surface. Enjoy! Anna
