161. Natural Phrases To Talk About Strat...

Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.
About this episode

Do you bore yourself using the same words all the time? I've found that when talking about strategies before tend to use the same words over and over again - create, implement, define. They are all absolutely fine but let's try and add a bit of variety. Mix it up a little. In this episode I go through other more advanced terms (mainly verbs) to talk about strategy, as well as the usual tips and common mistakes to avoid. I also give you an extra piece of complementary work to do at home. 

Enjoy! Anna
