Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.
About this episode

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.
