Lesson Pack Details

Подробности урока
🚨 The Silent Professional’s Dilemma
You understand 80% of what’s said in meetings.
But while native speakers jump in with
“Actually, what if we…” or “Building on Sarah’s point…”
you’re still translating your excellent idea in your head.
By the time you’re ready to speak, the moment has passed.
Again.
This is not a fluency problem.
It’s a script problem.
Native speakers don’t improvise meeting English.
They reuse the same predictable phrases across thousands of meetings.
In this course, I give you those exact scripts.
No grammar theory.
No vague “conversation practice.”
Just tactical language you’ll use in your next 10:00 AM Zoom call.
✅ YOUR 5-LESSON TRANSFORMATION
25 minutes per lesson | Practical | Direct | Reusable
🔹 LESSON 1: The 3-Part Power Introduction
Skill Focus: Speaking early and confidently; without sounding arrogant
What we drill:
-
Replace robotic introductions like
“I’m [Name], I work in [Department]”
with the Role–Impact–Curiosity framework:-
“I lead UX research; we reduced sign-up friction by 30% last quarter…”
-
“…and I’m curious how marketing sees the new user personas.”
-
-
The 3-second pause before speaking (removes “um” and signals calm authority)
-
Rising vs. falling intonation to sound collaborative, not defensive
Real-world script you’ll own:
“I’m [Name] from [Team]. We recently [achievement], and I’d love to hear how this aligns with your priorities.”
Measurable outcome:
Colleagues reference your contribution within 24 hours of the meeting.
🔹 LESSON 2: The Polite Interruption Toolkit
Skill Focus: Entering fast-paced conversations without apologising or dominating
What we drill:
-
4 interruption scripts, ranked by urgency:
-
Low urgency: “That’s really interesting; could I add something?”
-
Medium urgency: “Building on that point…” (no permission needed)
-
High urgency: “Sorry to jump in; there are 2 minutes left on this item.”
-
-
Body-language cues that signal “adding value”, not hijacking
-
A recovery phrase for when you get interrupted
Real-world script you’ll own:
“If I could build on that—our data from last week actually supports a different angle.”
Measurable outcome:
You enter 3+ conversations per meeting without waiting for a “perfect pause.”
🔹 LESSON 3: Diplomatic Disagreement Framework
Skill Focus: Challenging ideas without triggering defensiveness
What we drill:
-
The Acknowledge → Refocus → Data structure:
-
“I see why that works for the timeline…”
-
“…and I wonder if we’re underestimating support capacity.”
-
“Last quarter, similar scope led to 15 escalations in week one.”
-
-
Replacing “but” with “and” or “at the same time”
-
Softening language that protects relationships without weakening your point
Real-world script you’ll own:
“I appreciate the speed focus. At the same time, I’m concerned we may create rework; last month’s rushed launch required three days of patching.”
Measurable outcome:
Your pushback is met with “Good point”, not silence or defensiveness.
🔹 LESSON 4: The 5-Second Recovery Protocol
Skill Focus: Recovering smoothly when your mind goes blank mid-sentence
What we drill:
-
3 professional bridge phrases that buy thinking time:
-
“Let me phrase that more precisely…”
-
“What I’m trying to say is…”
-
“The core issue is…”
-
-
The Repeat + Reframe technique to restart your sentence instantly
-
A clean, confident exit line when you need time to think
Real-world script you’ll own:
“The timeline is tight… let me phrase this more precisely: we can hit Friday if design signs off by Tuesday noon.”
Measurable outcome:
Awkward silence drops from 5–8 seconds to under 2 seconds.
🔹 LESSON 5: Action-Oriented Closing & Follow-Up
Skill Focus: Turning vague endings into visible ownership
What we drill:
-
The Who–What–When close:
-
Weak: “Someone should draft the proposal.”
-
Strong: “I’ll draft it by Thursday 3 PM. Alex, could you review by Friday noon?”
-
-
Follow-up email subject lines that get opened
-
Ending meetings with specific appreciation that builds your reputation
Real-world script you’ll own:
“To close: I own the vendor list by Tuesday. Alex owns pricing benchmarks. I’ll send a summary email in 10 minutes.”
Measurable outcome:
Colleagues tag you in follow-ups as owning key deliverables.
