If you are job hunting, a must nowadays is a profile on the world’s most popular professional networking site LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is not like any other social media, it is not a place to share photos of your latest holiday, your pets or your frolics with your friends about town. LinkedIn is about demonstrating your professionalism to your work colleagues, your boss and even your potential new employers.

Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date with all of your achievements from your work experience, update your certificates and education when you take a new training course, create connections and most importantly get endorsed.

Since you are reading this, I presume you re a student of the English language and that learning and improving your English language skills is probably important to you in your career and promotional prospects.

So, ask your teacher to give you an endorsement on LinkedIn to add to your profile

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 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.

Speaking in meetings. How to become more confident!

El origen náhuatl (tequitl: trabajo u oficio; tlan: lugar) de la palabra, habla de un lugar de trabajo. Sin embargo, una versión complementaria sobre el origen de la palabra tequila hace referencia a la piedra que es típica de esa región, obsidiana, y que se tallaba para usarse como herramienta. Estas piedras se conocía por ese tiempo como tecatlis y por ende a quien la manejaba se le llamaba tecuilo. Así por costumbre al lugar se le comenzó a llamar Tecuila y posteriormente Tequila.
Entre las leyendas que explican el origen de la bebida, existe una que dice que el tequila se descubrió durante una tormenta eléctrica, cuando un rayo cayó sobre un sembradío de agaves y dada su intensidad, esto originó un incendio, donde posteriormente los vapores calentaron las bolas de agave, ocasionando que de ellas emergiera una miel de sabor dulce y aroma agradable que llamó la atención de los nativos; quienes descubrieron que al fermentarse, ésta tenía poderes relajantes y efectos de euforia al beberla.

En las primeras décadas después de la conquista, nació la bebida como un fermentado de la planta de agave y posteriormente, con su influencia árabe e hispánica se destiló en alambiques introducidos al continente.

Durante muchos años se le conoció como vino de mezcal o mezcal tequila, ya que mezcal era uno de los nombres del agave.

Y en la historia se cuenta que los primeros en darle el nombre de tequila a la bebida fue uno de los productores más importantes para la industria del tequila Don Cenobio Sauza, que cambió el nombre de vino mezcal de tequila a tequila.
