Confident Business English

The Confidence Sessions is a special series running throughout August and early September, before the new season of Confident Business English begins on 16 September 2026!

What’s the difference between trusting your team and having confidence in them? And what can you say when a personal issue affects work, but you don’t want to share your whole life story? In this Confidence Session, I’ve cherry-picked two practical clips to help you communicate more clearly, naturally and confidently at work. Enjoy! Anna

Have you ever been in a meeting with native speakers and suddenly thought, "I have no idea what they're talking about?" In this episode, I'm breaking down some of the business expressions that native speakers use all the time and explaining them in plain English. You'll learn what they actually mean, where many of them come from, and simple tricks to help you remember them. By the end of the episode, you'll be able to follow business meetings more easily and feel more confident when these expressions come up. Enjoy! Anna

If projects are a regular part of your job, this episode is for you. Ever feel like you understand the words in a project meeting, but still don't feel confident joining the conversation? In this episode, I'll beak down a realistic business project from the first idea through to the final presentation. Along the way, you'll learn 15 pieces of core vocabulary that are used naturally when planning projects, making decisions, solving problems and communicating with stakeholders. Rather than memorising vocabulary lists, you'll start recognising the language patterns that come up again and again in real meetings, helping you understand conversations more quickly and feel more confident contributing to them. Enjoy! Anna
