About this episode

CLICK HERE TO JOIN NEWSLETTER - Communicate Confidently

I know you would prefer to avoid saying something wrong. It's going to make you feel much more confident if you know what you are saying is right, even if it's a difficult conversation. 

As a senior manager you will have to talk about HR topics a lot; recruitment, onboarding, leave, pay, team management etc. I want to train you on the most important vocabulary to help you navigate these conversations and help you avoid a lot of common pitfalls.

A lot of you have written to me and asked me to talk about this topic, so here you go!  By the end of the episode I'm going to train you on key vocabulary related to:

  • Interviews
  • Recruitment
  • Pay
  • Types of leave
  • Benefits and perks
  • Leaving a company
