Are your English skills holding you back from doing business?

Are your English skills holding you back from doing business?

 I understand that as a manager and a parent, your time is extremely valuable, and balancing professional development with your personal life can be challenging. Here are some strategies to help you fit English learning into your busy schedule:

Set Clear Achievable Goals & Practice English in daily activities

  1. Prioritize and Set Clear Goals: Start by identifying specific areas of your English that you want to improve, such as speaking fluency, professional vocabulary, or presentation skills. Setting clear, achievable goals will help you stay focused and make the most of your study time.

2. Integrate Learning into Your Daily Routine: Look for opportunities to practice English in your daily activities. For example, you can listen to English podcasts or audiobooks during your commute, or switch the language settings on your devices to English. These small changes can create consistent exposure to the language without requiring extra time.

10-15 minute focussed sessions & use English in Real work scenarios

3. Micro-Learning Sessions: Dedicate short, 10-15 minute sessions throughout your day to focus on specific English skills. For instance, you can review key phrases, practice pronunciation, or even watch a short video on a relevant business topic. These bite-sized lessons can be highly effective and easier to fit into your schedule.

4. Leverage Professional Situations: Use your work environment as a learning platform. Engage more in English during meetings, write emails, or deliver presentations in English whenever possible. This approach allows you to practice in real-life situations, making your learning directly relevant to your job.


Flexible working hours & Learning with your family

5. Flexible Learning Options: Choose a coaching program that offers flexibility. I can tailor sessions around your availability, and we can focus on the most critical areas for your professional development. Additionally, I provide materials for self-study that you can work on at your own pace.

6. Family Involvement: Involve your family in your learning process. You could watch English-language movies or shows with your children, which not only helps you but also benefits them. It can be a fun and educational family activity.

Track your progress regularly

7. Regular Progress Reviews: We'll regularly assess your progress to ensure that you're on track and making the most of your time. If we need to adjust our approach to better fit your schedule or goals, we can do so.

By integrating these strategies, you can steadily improve your English without overwhelming your already busy schedule. Remember, consistency is key, and even small, regular efforts will lead to significant improvements over time.
