Dramatically Improve Your Confidence Speaking English in a Work Environment!


You have spent a long time learning English. So why do you still lack confidence and feel anxious when you speak English in front of others?

To learn English is one thing. But to speak English confidently is another...

You may have taken business English lessons at schools and with private tutors. In fact, when you have to speak English with your teacher or visiting English speaking countries, you feel comfortable and confidence isn’t an issue...

This is because being able to speak English in a business environment is very different…

English is your second language and you feel more pressure to speak correctly. You think your colleagues and superiors will judge you on your English level… you think that maybe they will even respect you less if they hear you making mistakes or using ‘simple’ English vocabulary…

All this makes you feel anxious, nervous, ashamed, and not your ‘true self’, which leads to frustration, and ‘blocks’ when you need to speak English with other people...

… resulting in a lack of confidence.

But here’s the thing...

It’s completely normal.

Having been the owner of a corporate language school, I have interviewed hundreds of professionals who speak English as a second language, and most of them feel insecure about their English. Their main goal is to be confident at speaking English.

Even though I’m a CELTA qualified English teacher, I’ve been in your position before…

When I was 22 years old, I left the UK to teach English in Spain and later on in life I moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and lived there for 11 years teaching English and running a language school.

In these two countries, I made it my mission to speak Spanish and Portuguese…

I studied hard… reading newspapers, books, listening to the radio and podcasts, taking notes of all the new vocabulary and reviewing it…

But there was one problem…

I found it extremely difficult to speak these languages in front of people due to a lack of confidence.

I thought I was being judged on mistakes I made and was not confident with my vocabulary. Consequently, I felt anxious, nervous, and ashamed.

This led to blocks and not being able to participate properly in group conversations.

I had to do something about it because it was having a negative effect on my mood and self-esteem.

So I did something about it… I learned the skill of confidence.

You see, confidence is a skill which can be learned.

And confidence speaking English as your second language is a skill which can be learned.

In this book, I am going to teach you the skill of confidence specifically to speak English in a business environment.

Confidence isn't just about your English level...

It's also about your mindset.

And the goal of this ebook is to teach you how to acquire a confident mindset speaking English in professional situations, such as meetings, presentations and job interviews.

This is a compact book of 70 pages, with lots of actions you can start taking today to build confidence.

In this book you will learn:
* How to measure your confidence speaking English
* How to master the power of repetition and practice, so that you are completely prepared for meetings and presentations in English
* How to master discipline - the ‘catalyst for confidence’, so that you can take your English to the next level
* How to dominate Your Inner 'self-talk‘ and destroy negative thoughts about your English speaking.
* How to use pressurized situations like presentations and meetings to gain confidence speaking English

Want to have confident, fluent English for meetings and presentations?
Want to put an end to blocks and anxiety when speaking English in front of others?

After several years teaching in-company lessons with top schools in Spain and Brazil, he set up his own language school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which provided lessons for company professionals.

Steven grew the school to more than 25 teachers and 500 students across a variety of corporations. Even when running the company he continued to coach executives for fluency improvement, and prepare them for meetings and business presentations in English.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019
    This is a great book if you, in spite of dominating your second language, still has issues when speaking in a professional setting. To me this book was a really helpful read, specially the self talk and the uncomfortable zone parts! The tips for to give a work presentation are amazing; I do have an excerpt of this chapter in my work drawer right now.
    I am also really bad at preparing myself in a positive way, like I will talk myself down into all the awful scenarios I can think of. Steve's book was excellent to prepare me to deal with this type of mindset.
    It is also clear that he's read extensively, and is a writer who can funnel a huge amount of information for you in this concise language-at-work gem. Give it a read now, thank me later.

    This book is a perfect learning tool for students who really want to speak up in any kind of situation. Steven guides the student to discover their own potential and orientates in a way that anyone can prepare themselves to give a business presentation and make the most of professional opportunities. It is essentially a coaching session for language learners, but the strategies can also be applied to other areas of life.

    Ho trovato questo e-book tramite un corso di inglese che faccio su Udemy e posso garantire che è un libro davvero stimolante perché l'autore riesce a capire le nostre problematiche e ci coinvolge in un percorso molto interessante a superare le nostre difficoltà. Un ottimo libro anche per praticare il nostro reading skill dato che è scritto in modo semplice. Lo consiglio vivamente
