In this episode of English for Leaders Who Speak Up, we talk about one of the most uncomfortable moments in professional English: interrupting and disagreeing.Not because you don’t know what to say.But because you care how it will land.Many strong professionals stay quiet or soften their message when they disagree. They don’t want to sound rude. They don’t want to create tension. They don’t want to risk their credibility. So their leadership becomes quieter than it should.This episode reframes interruption and disagreement as leadership tools, not social risks. You’ll hear why speaking up is not about being louder or more aggressive, but about being clearer, more intentional, and more present. When you can interrupt calmly and disagree without apology, your English starts carrying the authority you already have.If this topic resonates, I recommend starting with a simple self-reflection.Visit www.beingles.ca and download the free PDF:How You Use English at Work – A Practical Self-Reflection.It will help you see:how your English shows up in real conversationswhere you hold backand how your leadership presence translates into EnglishBecause the goal isn’t to speak “better” English.It’s to let your English represent you more accurately at work.
