On the Express to Impress Podcast, I will show you how to express yourself in a way that people understand you, respect you, and give you what you want. So, if you want to learn how to present yourself in writing, say, in a resume, personal statement, or LinkedIn profile, this podcast is for you. If you want to learn how to introduce yourself, your ideas, or accomplishments during an interview, networking event, or presentation, this podcast is for you. If you want to learn general communication tips for the workplace, this podcast is also for you.

So, what can you expect during a typical episode? You will hear stories from my career and my clients’ careers. I believe mistakes make the best teachers, and they can be funny, so some of my stories include examples of communication failures. I will also share communication techniques and steps you can take to be understood and advance your career. I will use everyday language as much as possible, and I’ll share definitions for idioms and phrases at the end of each episode. From time to time, I’ll invite guests. I cannot wait to talk to some inspiring folks and share those interviews with you!

You can find transcripts for the episodes on my website at https://www.express-to-impress.com/podcast/. You can also send questions to me at hello@express-to-impress.com.

Introduction to the Express to Impress Podcast

We took the risk. We said YES to the new job or new home. We are using our English, at last. 

Unfortunately, however, we may find that the reactions of others -- in the workplace or in our home -- are MIXED. 

Some people are proud of us and want to celebrate our success with us. Others, we may be surprised to discover, seem to suddenly DISLIKE us. They may appear to distrust us or seem jealous, envious, or more competitive. Support we may have had just a day before - that helped us get where we find ourselves -- may have suddenly disappeared.

If this has happened to you -- you're not alone. AND there are ways to feel better and get the support and care you seek. 

This is something I wish we spoke more about, for I believe it's a topic that is CRUCIALLY important in the world of language learning. 

I'd love to hear what you think!

More than seven out of 10 Americans have been dishonest when trying to get a job, according to a new survey.

A company called ResumeTemplates asked 1,250 people in the US about how honest they are when looking for jobs, doing interviews or taking tests during the hiring process.

And 71% of US job seekers said they'd been dishonest.

One of the most common things to do was to give a false reference. Almost half of the participants said they'd done this.

Some said they didn't have a real reference to give, while others said their last boss didn't like them.

But people said they'd been dishonest all through the hiring process. More than one in five people said they'd lied on their resume.

Some companies give people tests during the hiring process — and 22% of people said they'd used Google, artificial intelligence software or the help of others to answer test questions.

So does being dishonest work?

The answer to that question might be "sometimes" — only around three out of 10 people said they had gotten caught.

Of course, that doesn't mean being dishonest is the right thing to do.

However, a 2023 survey by a company called Resume Builder found that it's not just people looking for jobs who lie.

In fact, the survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers found that almost 40% have lied to people in job interviews.

Today, I want to tell you all about emotional support chickens. It seems that a nursing home here in the UK has been offered chickens by a local school in order to take away the loneliness of it’s residents and help them feel better.

Nursing Homes and Care Homes are places where we put older people who cannot look after themselves.

It's hoped that the chickens will bring residents a number of benefits. From fostering a sense of community to reducing mental health problems. Now, I'm not sure about you but for me, I'd probably rather have the cash or if  there’s perhaps other opportunities, maybe I’d prefer to talk to someone. These chickens don't actually have to be bought.It looks like they were given free to this nursing home. 

But still, if they're going to give away chickens, I'd rather have the cash.
