5 English Phrases for Business and Life Confidence

Updated: Oct 1

Success in business hinges on the quality of your product, the strength of your marketing, and the efficiency of your supply and distribution chains—key pillars before you even consider global expansion. When taking a local product to the international market, English becomes a vital tool, smoothing the process of sealing deals and giving you control over your business rather than relying on intermediaries.

She wears a simple apron over a t-shirt and uses metal tongs to turn ball-shaped sausages grilling over charcoal. The grill is full of sausages, illuminated by a single bright light bulb, creating a cozy atmosphere.

If you already speak English fluently, congratulations and thank you for mastering my language! I’m not here to suggest any shortcomings—rather, I admire your achievement. As an English speaker, I’ve worked to learn Thai, Spanish, and German to a working level myself. Reflecting on that, my chances of reaching your level of fluency in those languages are slim, shaped by years of immersion and native exposure I can’t ever replicate. Similarly, achieving native-like fluency in English as a second language is a steep climb—consider the math and the effort. The odds favor those raised with it but that doesn’t diminish your progress. Yet, even if you’ve neared native fluency, there’s often someone on your team who could benefit from improvement. Rather than stepping into the translator role, empowering them with better English can strengthen your collective impact. My 19 years teaching English have shown me that personalized guidance—and beyond AI’s current reach—unlocks these skills. I invite you to spread the word about this opportunity to grow, both for yourself and your colleagues. Let’s build a network of confident communicators together.
