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!

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...

Happy New Year!

Hello! Let's start by talking about intention first. Dawn is a great time to reflect upon and lay out one's intentions for the day, and what better time than the dawning of a brand New Year to set out one's intentions for the 12 months ahead. So what are my aspirations for 2017? Well - basically - more of the same, really - please 😊 By this I mean: 1) More teaching - not in quantity but in continuation. I love my job 💖 2) More practising - sitting, walking, eating - more integration of the practice into my life overall - P.S. more kindness 🙏 2) More sharing - here I do mean quantity, hence this brand new blog. I want to share more about Mindfulness 💓💕💗💝 - in the classroom and in life. Hopefully, you'll be drawn to contribute with comments and ideas on how I can put this aspiration into action more effectively 😊 3) More cooking delicious, cruelty-free vegan food 😍 4) More cycling - healthy body, healthy mind 💚 5) More walking and ...

On Acceptance

Remember Supernanny Jo Frost and her catchphrase, "that's unacceptable"? "Unacceptable behaviour" was one of the countless things I learnt about during the decade I lived in the UK back in the noughties. When it comes to adults, the matter of accountability for one's behaviour became a fundamental piece of understanding, as if my entire life up until then had transpired in an incongruent, incomplete jigsaw puzzle without any awareness of it, and I'd suddenly found sufficient pieces to make much more sense of the whole. There was such joy, such happiness in this understanding, such relief, in fact, because here, in Latin America in general and in Mexico in particular, those pieces are simply missing. There's no rule of law here. In these parts of the world, we still rely heavily on religion for the teaching and learning of moral and ethical conduct, and the government's function is... well... far removed from the question of justice . A c...
