--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

刻舟求剑[kè zhōu qiú jiàn]

Let me tell you something. In the world of business, communication is king. But forget fancy speeches and teleprompters. What you really need is the ability to connect, to think on your feet, and inspire – on the spot. That's where I come in.

As your business communication coach, I won't just train you to speak. I'll help you find your voice, the one that resonates with authenticity and power. We'll work together to build a foundation of strong business acumen. Numbers, trends, market forces – these aren't just dry facts, they're the fuel that propels your message.

But knowledge alone isn't enough. You have to be able to listen, truly listen, to the people you're speaking with. What are their concerns? Their aspirations? We'll hone your active listening skills, so you can build bridges, not walls, during those impromptu interactions.

Now, let's be honest, practice makes perfect. We won't just talk the talk, we'll walk the walk. Mock interviews, simulated meetings, even impromptu presentations on random business topics – we'll throw you curveballs, and you'll learn to hit them out of the park. We'll record your sessions, analyze them together, and help you refine your delivery, ditch the filler words, and find that clear, concise style that cuts through the noise.

Remember, confidence is key.  I'll be your guide, your cheerleader, pushing you to embrace challenges and see every unexpected speaking opportunity as a chance to grow. Because ultimately, it's not about having all the answers, it's about the passion and purpose behind them.

So, are you ready to step up, to take your communication skills to the next level?  Together, we can turn you into an impromptu speaking champion, someone who commands attention, inspires collaboration, and leaves a lasting impression. Let's get started.
