Express to Impress Podcast

Globish, anyone? In this episode, we'll talk about how to communicate effectively in an international business setting. Since most people in an international business environment speak English as a second language, that will be our focus. I'll share tips for native English speakers and English Language Learners, including where to focus your English language-learning efforts, so you're ready to excel in an international business setting. 

To succeed in an international business environment, I suggest going back to the basics. Tune in to find out how you can go back to the basics.

If you’ve found the perfect company to work for, you don’t need to land the perfect job…yet. After all, even if you’re in a less-than-perfect position, you can apply for a more suitable job internally as soon as it opens. By then, you will have had the chance to show your quality of work, work ethic, and commitment to the company, making you an ideal candidate.

While interviewing for an internal position is a wonderful opportunity, it includes unique challenges. One of the biggest mistakes people make when interviewing internally is failing to prepare adequately. They may believe the interview is simply a formality, and they have the job in the bag. Their interviewer may be familiar with their work, so they may not arrive prepared to talk about the specifics of their contributions. And finally, they may have a friendly relationship with the interviewer and treat the interview too casually. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to get my tips to prepare for an internal job interview and get the job you want!

To be a successful leader, marketer, salesperson, or even job candidate, you need to be able to tell business stories well. Leaders tell stories to inspire their employees and to help them see what’s possible or to teach them something. They also tell investors, donors, board members, and others impact stories that reassure them their time and money are working. 

Business stories hold so much potential that I think they should be told every single day in workplace interactions! 

Even if you don’t identify as a storyteller, you will be prompted to tell stories at times in your career. But most people are not natural-born storytellers. It’s a skill that takes training and practice. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to business storytelling techniques. With a little practice, you’ll be a great storyteller in no time!
