Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.
About this episode

Let's set the context. Imagine that next week a group of Senior Directors are coming to your office from Manchester. Or maybe you are getting a visit from a group of managers based in the Munich office. Wherever or whoever it is, you have to help host them during their time here.  

  • What can you do to help yourself feel more confident?
  • How can you make sure it goes well and you leave a good impression?
  • How can you avoid awkward moments when making conversation?

On the episode today I'm really pleased to have Robert Rudge from The Business English Podcast. I’m delighted to have Rob on and he is going to share with you:

  • 3 essential and practical tips to manage this situation
  • 2 big don'ts
  • A final key takeaway
