Description

Too many talented, experienced professionals get overlooked at work—not because they aren't qualified, but because they stay quiet. In this episode, Gabby Wallace from Go Natural English shares 10 powerful phrases you can use to speak up in meetings, express your opinions confidently, and get noticed for the capable person you truly are.

You'll learn how to join a fast-paced conversation, agree or disagree politely, ask clarifying questions, and summarize key points without sounding nervous or rude. Whether you're an intermediate or advanced English learner—or even a native speaker—these practical expressions will help you sound more natural, professional, and self-assured in any business setting.

Plus, Gabby explains why speaking up (even with mistakes) is far better than staying silent, how to use small attention-getting words like "well" and "um" to hold the floor, and why confident communication is essential for career growth in English-speaking workplaces.

If you're ready to stop being overlooked and start being heard, this episode is for you.
