Business English for Networking

Speak Up, Stand Out: Business English for Global Networking & Socialising

Tired of Feeling Held Back by Your English?

You're a smart, capable professional. You know your job, your team trusts you, and your ideas are solid. But when it comes to speaking English—especially in professional social settings—you sometimes freeze.

Small talk feels awkward. You second-guess your word choice. You worry your message doesn’t sound as strong as you meant it to.

You’re not alone.
Many professionals just like you—from Latin America to Eastern Europe to Southeast Asia—face the same challenge.

The good news? You can improve your English for real-world business situations without memorising grammar rules or spending hours in boring classes.

This Is for You If You’re...

What You’ll Learn

1. Networking & Socialising

Learn how to start conversations, introduce yourself naturally, ask the right questions, and build rapport—whether you're in a meeting room or a virtual breakout session.

“Hi, I’m Alex, I work on the product team. What brings you to this event?”

✅ Learn natural expressions and opening lines for confident self-introductions.

2. Initiating & Maintaining Conversations
Keep the conversation going—without it feeling forced. Master transitions, active listening, and culturally appropriate small talk.

“That’s really interesting. How does your team handle that?”

✅ Speak with curiosity and confidence, and keep conversations flowing naturally.

3. Ending Conversations & Following Up

Know how to exit politely, express interest in future collaboration, and follow up like a professional.

“It was great talking to you. Would you be open to connecting on LinkedIn?”

✅ Walk away with confidence and leave a lasting impression.

4. Business Social Etiquette & Cultural Awareness

Understand subtle differences in communication styles. Learn how to avoid “losing face,” manage indirect communication, and navigate small talk with tact.

🌍 Whether you're from a high-context culture or navigating unfamiliar norms, you'll learn how to sound professional and culturally sensitive.

Why This Matters

In global business, how you say something can be just as important as what you say.

By developing your Business English in real-world, social contexts, you'll...

✅ Build trust faster with clients and colleagues

✅ Stand out as a confident communicator in meetings and events

✅ Be seen as ready for leadership, not just support roles

✅ Expand your influence across teams, regions, anD time zones

What’s Holding You Back?

• “I get nervous—even though I know what I want to say.”
• “I feel like I sound robotic or too formal.”
• “I’m not sure how to switch from small talk to real conversation.”
• “I don’t want to sound pushy or rude.”
• “I just don’t have the time to study regularly.”

We understand. That’s why this course is built for real professionals, with real jobs, real pressure, and real goals.

You're Not Alone—And You're Not Behind

Thousands of high-potential professionals around the world face the same problem:
Great ideas, limited by language.

And it’s not your fault.

In school, you learned grammar—not how to make conversation.
In your career, you’ve been too busy working hard to slow down and practise.
But now that your role is growing, so must your confidence in English.

You Don’t Need “Perfect English”—You Need Real Practice

You already have the expertise. Now, let’s give you the language to share it confidently—with anyone, anywhere in the world.
