English Fluency and Professional Communication

In a communicative workplace, it's practically impossible to hide away behind your desk.

There are meetings, sales pitches, presentations, video calls... not to mention numerous informal chats with colleagues.

Perhaps you (or someone in your team) can relate to some of these issues:

Staying silent in meetings because you can't quickly think of what to say

Avoiding phone calls because you find it hard to understand everything

Having difficulty keeping up with informal workplace conversations

Worrying that your colleagues don't understand your accent

Avoiding giving presentations because they are so stressful

Struggling to understand jargon and colloquial language

Being concerned that your written English isn't professional enough

Not everyone has complete confidence in their ability to communicate well in English.

Even advanced English speakers can make errors in speaking and writing (for example, a common error is over-using the definite article 'the'). While these kinds of errors may not totally interfere with your ability to communicate, you can be sure that native English speakers notice them and react to them.

Similarly, not fully understanding everything can also cause problems. If you find yourself guessing at phrases rather than relying on complete understanding, you might miss subtle variations in meaning which can cause miscommunication.

Collectively, these kinds of repeated errors can undermine your status and make others question your authority.

That's why it's important to correct them.
