What is the most important thing you can do to become confident speaking Business English?
The answer may surprise you!
I talk to so many people who dream of speaking English.
They want to feel more confident and happier about their English level.
They want better opportunities.
And they know Business English can help them achieve their goals.
But there’s a problem.
They don’t know how to improve their English.
A lot of people I meet are already working hard on their Business English.
They are watching Netflix or YouTube videos.
Maybe they are even doing exercises online.
But, they are still not confident speaking English.
Especially at work.
Other people can’t get started because they think they don’t have the time.
They say “I’m too busy and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
There’s a secret that you need to know.
It will help you be smart and effective when you work to improve your English.
It’s a secret that can make the difference between having the time to progress with your Business English–or not.
What is this “most important thing?”
Good habits.
The most important thing that determines your success or failure is your habits.
With the right habits, anyone can become confident and fluent in Business English.

Hi Christina! Thank you for the new episode explaining how habits are important in improving our business english competences. One of my habit is to read educational blogs at least one every week, sort our new words, put them on a diary and look for their meaning in the dictionaries. Also, I sing new english songs and sometimes talk to may self as if I talk to someone about certain theme.
Singing new songs is a great idea!
Additionally, I prepare my weekly work reports and present to the team.
Excellent!
