If you want to build trust with your colleagues, especially if you're a manager, and you speak English at work as a second language then this episode is for you. We talk about how you can sound more native and natural when speaking or writing English and how you can improve the trust between you and your team when doing this. We discuss the vocabulary, phrases, and idioms that we can use to build trust, we talk about vulnerability, and about making it easier for your direct reports to ask for help. We also look at some common grammar mistakes that non-native English speakers make when using this vocabulary and speaking in these professional situations.

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.

Today's examples:

We’re all fallible, myself included. It took me months before I could get this right consistently.

I dropped the ball on this, and that’s on me. I’ll be sure to keep my eye on the ball from now on.

To say that I'm out of my depth would be putting it lightly, so you'll have to bear with me on this.

Would you mind if I checked in with you later and see how you're getting on?

Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

If you get stuck on anything then give me a shout.
