Podcast
Confident Business English
Are you an international senior manager who wants to feel more confident communicating in English? I’m Anna Connelly, an Advanced Neurolanguage Coach®, and every week I bring you practical business English strategies to help you communicate more confidently at work.
The ideas in this podcast come directly from the real communication challenges I work on with senior managers in my coaching sessions every day, including difficult meetings, presentations, speaking up, explaining complex ideas, handling pressure and sounding more natural in English.
So, in many ways, think of each episode as a short coaching session with me: practical, focused and designed to give you something you can actually use at work.
Listeners tell me they love the podcast because it’s clear, to the point and relevant to their working lives and, most importantly, because they can see tangible results with their confidence.
So, ready to take the next step? Let’s crack on.

340. The Confidence Sessions: The Invisible Baggage Holding You Back
Show notes
What are you carrying around with you when you speak English at work? In this Confidence Session, I explore Ian Robertson's idea of “mental backpacks”. These are the labels, past experiences and beliefs that can quietly affect how you perform. We’ll also look at why the right level of challenge can give you a boost, why things stop feeling rewarding once they become comfortable, and how beliefs about being a non-native speaker could be influencing you more than you realise.

What actually makes you take action when you feel confident? In this Confidence Session, I continue breaking down how confidence works by looking at two important beliefs: “I can do it” and “it can happen.” We’ll explore what happens when one of those is missing, why feeling nervous doesn’t necessarily mean you lack confidence, and what this could look like in your meetings, presentations and career.
