How to Improve Your Business English - An Interview at the British Chamber of Commerce

What a pleasure it was to meet up with Laura Atkinson, Manager of the Commercial Section at the British Chamber of Commerce Mexico, to talk about what the Chamber does, and how it helps businesses thrive and flourish through connecting and bringing people together.


See you again in the next Chamber event, Laura!


Many of my clients are involved in international business, and although they're highly skilled and competent professionals, they report feeling uncertain and worried about expressing themselves in English within business settings. 


Here are some of the most common messages I hear:


- "I don't know where to practise the English I need"


- "I can introduce myself and say what I do, but after that, I find it intimidating and embarrassing to keep a conversation going"


- "I get stuck whenever I speak in English, I can't find the words, and it makes me feel frustrated and ashamed"


- "I want to feel free in English, I just want to be myself and feel happy and relaxed, the way I do in my own language"


If you can relate, then this week's video is for you!

One of the most interesting and exciting aspects of Confident English Training and its private community is the diversity of its members. People from all walks of life, an incredibly wide array of professions and interests, all actively becoming more fluent and confident in English through their engagement with the programme's exclusive blend of practical and abundant materials and tutorials, live coaching and mindfulness practice sessions, as well as its unlimited opportunities for social interaction. 

Are you ready to assimilate English into your everyday life and take it to the next level?

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr
