Hello, and welcome to the very first episode of the Express to Impress podcast. I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you what to expect in this podcast. I’m Kristine, and I’m from the US state of Missouri. Here, we have one of the most spectacular performing arts venues in all of the world; we have the Ozarks with undeniable rugged beauty, and we have friendly people.
I love helping people communicate clearly and confidently so they can achieve their goals. I work with native and non-native university students and professionals looking to advance their careers. Through communication coaching, I help people put their best foot forward so that a person in a position of power can see the best candidate is right in front of them.
Before becoming a communication and career coach, I worked in the nonprofit, private, higher ed, and startup sectors in roles as diverse as marketing and communications, youth program management, and talent acquisition. I have also taught more than 2,000 Business English, Pronunciation, and Conversational English lessons. Along the way, I discovered that I love telling stories. I also love learning about people. And Finally, I love helping people develop communication skills and build confidence so that they find success. I work with some of the most incredible and inspiring people who are changing their workplaces and the world.
Alright, now let’s talk about the podcast. This podcast will show you how to express yourself in a way that people understand you, respect you, and give you what you want. So, if you want to learn how to present yourself in writing, say, in a resume, personal statement, or LinkedIn profile, this podcast is for you. If you want to learn how to introduce yourself, your ideas, or your accomplishments during an interview, networking event, or presentation, this podcast is for you. If you want to learn general communication tips for the workplace, this podcast is also for you.
So, what can you expect during a typical episode? You will hear stories from my career and my clients’ careers. I believe mistakes make the best teachers, and they can be funny, so some of my stories include examples of communication failures. I will also share communication techniques and steps you can take to be understood and advance your career. I will use everyday language as much as possible, and I’ll share definitions for idioms and phrases at the end of each episode. From time to time, I’ll invite guests. I cannot wait to talk to some inspiring folks and share those interviews with you!
You can find transcripts for the episodes on my website at www.express-to-impress.com. You can also send questions to me at [email protected], and I may even be able to make an episode about them. That’s it for now. Thank you for listening and get ready to learn and laugh in the next episodes. See you next time, bye!

Expert Coach Shows How to Master Impromptu and Nonverbal Communication
In the second half of my interview with Communication Coach Mike Acker, he said something I see all the time with my clients. He said, “If you have your nonverbals misaligned with your verbals, you’re going to be overpowering your verbal content. I’ve seen that again and again. Where people say, “I’m excited to be here.” But they don’t sound excited. They don’t look excited.”
Nonverbal communication often isn’t taught in English classrooms, just like pronunciation isn’t. But these are both important aspects of communicating in English effectively! I invite you to tune into my episode with Mike for three great nonverbal communication tips at https://www.express-to-impress.com/nonverbal-communication/.
