Problem solving is a skill that we all need at work. Speaking about problem solving in English can be particularly hard if English is not your native language. In this podcast we discuss problem solving at work, natural and native sounding vocabulary that we can use to discuss problem solving with our colleagues, and some tips that we can use to help us solve problems more effectively. If you want to speak English in a more natural and native sounding way, at work, then the vocabulary, phrasal verbs, and idioms in today podcast will help you to achieve your goals. In this podcast I also talk about leadership skills and company culture at Amazon and the fintech company Revolut, including a little about the hiring process, promotions, and performance reviews at both.

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful.

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.

Artificial intelligence is appearing in every English speaking workplace these days and talking about AI with your colleagues and managers is something that is important. Today let's discuss some professional English vocabulary that we can use to sound natural and native when talking about AI at work, including some phrasal verbs and idioms that we can use to discuss our ideas.
