Today's topic is, how to be more confident when speaking in meetings.

Some of you might know this already but my full time job is working with non native English speakers one to one on video calls to improve their’s confidence and ability when using English at work. And the number one thing that people tell me they need to improve is their confidence in meetings. How can I become more confident in meetings, how can I express my ideas better, how can I make my meetings easier. This is what we’re going to discuss today. 

For non-native English speakers, speaking in meetings can be a challenging and daunting task. Whether you’re presenting in front of a large group or just participating in a small discussion, it can be difficult to feel confident in your ability to express yourself. However, with a few simple tips, you can start speaking more confidently in meetings sooner rather than later.

At the same time, we’re going to look at some useful vocabulary and sentence structures that we can use to do this. So if you want to grab a pen to take some notes, feel free, and let’s get started.

Oh, and right at the end we’ll review a couple of the more interesting pieces of vocabulary I’ve included in today’s podcast.

日本語を知らなくても、「manga」「judo」「sushi」「tsunami」などの言葉を知っている人は多いと思います。「wabi わび」はどうでしょうか。「sabi さび」と一緒（いっしょ）に「わびさび」と言われることが多いですね。日本人が大事にしている価値観（かちかん sence of values ）のひとつです。とか何とか言いながら、実は100％日本人の私でさえ、よくわかんなかったんですよ。ウィキペディア以上（いじょう）に説明（せつめい）できるとは思いませんでした。でもね、この間、紅葉（こうよう／もみじ）見にいって、すこーしわかったような気がしたので、その経験（けいけん experience )をお話したいと思います。そして次回は「さび」へと続（つづ）きます。

Vamos a conocerlo juntos.

Industry insights: By connecting with experienced professionals, you gain valuable knowledge about current trends, challenges, and best practices in your field.

Mentorship: Seasoned professionals can offer invaluable guidance on career development, skill-building, and navigating workplace dynamics.

Collaboration: Networking fosters connections that can lead to fruitful collaborations on projects, expanding your skillset and reach.
Professional networking encompasses various activities:

Attending industry events: Conferences, workshops, and meetups provide excellent platforms to connect with peers and potential collaborators.

Joining professional organizations: Associations offer networking opportunities, educational resources, and access to industry leaders.

Leveraging online platforms: Professional networking sites like LinkedIn allow you to connect with colleagues and showcase your expertise.

Building relationships with colleagues: Maintaining positive relationships with current and past colleagues strengthens your network within your existing professional sphere.

Effective networking requires a genuine interest in others, active listening, and the ability to build rapport.  Remember, it's a two-way street; aim to provide value to your network by offering support, sharing knowledge, and making meaningful connections.
