Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.

How to Get Better At Anything, Including Getting A Job 

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
