Why use the business conversation wheel of fortune?

The trick to feeling more confident actually ‘speaking’ in English, is (not surprisingly) to practice. So if you are stuck for ideas this provides you with some speaking prompts.

You can use this tool to practice on your own or with a friend or colleague but the learning impact will be much greater if you actually speak out loud. It is only when we actually here ourselves that we realise

“Ahhh! I don’t really know how to say that.”

or

“That doesn’t sound right.”

That is when you notice where the gaps are in your vocabulary, but also your pronunciation and grammar.

There will be four of these a year so you can come back any time and play, on your own or with a friend or colleague, you can do it in person or online.

Vocabulary Learning Tip

Make a note of the vocabulary that you cannot think about then use those words as often as you can
Try to use the same word for another ‘business conversation prompt’ above

Remember in 3s

3 times immediately in your head
3 times in the same hour, out loud if you can
3 times within the week, in a conversation with a friend or colleague
or in a meeting or discussion

 

Need some help?

Working with me will get you speaking English more fluently, with a lot more impact – faster!

If you have tried Business English apps or courses but don’t make any real progress, then you would probably benefit from a more personal approach. What you need is a technique which is inspiring enough to motivate you.  This pure focus on the communication you need to be seen and recognised in your career is very motivational. My ability to find the fine line between holding you accountable and being flexible is what makes coaching with me so rewarding and worthwhile. Your results will pave the way to more confidence.

Most of my work is communication coaching not pure Business English. Why? Because having perfect English does not mean that you will become a great communicator in English.

It is more honest for me to offer you communication coaching in English with ‘Business English benefits’ than limiting your performance. These communication skills and techniques are transferable to any language or industry.
