Today's global workplace demands excellent communication.

The ability to communicate with colleagues, clients, and competitors doesn't just depend on someone's proficiency in English. It also depends on their ability to adapt their language to each audience to ensure they are always understood.

That doesn't mean talking down to people or becoming an English instructor, but it does mean understanding the effect language has and what can be done to improve communication for everyone.

English is a global language, spoken daily by more people than ever before. All over the world, teams of multi-lingual international professionals, using English as their second, third or fourth languages, work alongside native speakers. In some companies, English has become the default lingua franca (the common language) even where there are no native speakers at all.

This means clear, effective communication is essential.

Misunderstandings, arising from poor communication, are time-consuming, expensive, and can ultimately lose clients.

Perhaps you or your team members are concerned about some of these aspects of business communication.

Lack of confidence in meetings because you can't quickly think of what to say

Stressing unduly about giving presentations

Concern about the way you speak and that people won't understand you

Worry that you can't explain something clearly and for different audiences

A way to disagree politely while still expressing your own opinions

Lack of confidence in writing clearly
