Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.
About this episode

This week I answer more burning questions from my clients and listeners. Today I cover 3:

  1. What does it mean when people put "though" at the end of a sentence?
  2. How can I tell someone to repeat in a way that doesn't offend them?
  3. What vocabulary can I use to tell my boss they are putting too much pressure on me?

I hope it's useful and if you have a question yourself write to me below
