💬 Feeling Unsure Speaking English at Work? You're Not Alone.

Even high-level professionals feel less confident when expressing themselves in English. But confidence is a skill—not a personality trait. You can build it.

Start with these 5 quick wins 👇

✅ Say “I recommend” instead of “maybe”

Clear language builds trust. Even small swaps make a difference.

✅ Use strong verbs

Try clarify, align, confirm, recommend. You’ll sound more prepared and professional instantly.

✅ Watch your tone

Here’s the trick:

 🔸 Falling tone = confidence.

 🔸 Rising tone = sounds like we’re asking for approval—even if we don’t intend to.

 Ex: "Perhaps we could consider this approach." (falling tone) 

✅ Pause instead of filling silence

A calm pause gives your ideas more impact than “uh... like... you know…”

Ex: "You know... this brings us to a great point. Let's think about this angle as well."

✅ Keep 2–3 phrases ready

Have go-tos like:

•  “Can I clarify something?”

•  “Let’s move forward with this.”

•  “This supports our goals.”
