If you're a leader or need to talk about leadership at work in English, Amazon's leadership principles are a great place to start.

Today we're discussing the leadership themes of innovation and learning. We'll look at some formal, professional vocabulary, and some informal natural and native sounding words and phrases, as well as examples of how you can use these in real life.

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.
