So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals. --------Today's examples: Failure is an inevitable part of any career. If you're not failing then you're not trying. In the grand scheme of things this is not the end of the world.This will likely have ramifications beyond just our team. It’ll likely impact the whole company.This happened on my watch so I'm accountable for everything that went wrong.I have no intention of passing the buck. This was my responsibility and the buck stops with me.I overlooked some key variables and that’s entirely on me.Support the showBook a coaching session with me at: https://www.breakoutbusinessenglish.com
