Not at home

 Lisa puts her bicycle against a tree and walks to the front door of her student house.  There are two people standing there.  A young man and a young woman.  They look at the nameplates on the door.  "Hello," says Lisa.  The man and woman look at Lisa.  "Good afternoon," says the woman.  Lisa hears that she is from Belgium.  They do speak Dutch there, but it sounds different.  Softer.  friendly.  'Can I help you?'  asks Lisa.  "Please," says the woman.  'We're looking for Dan.  He lives here right?  Lisa nods¹.  'Yes, Daan lives here,' she says.  She opens the door and walks in.  The man and woman follow her.  'Daan lives in room 10,' says Lisa.  She points to the door at the end of the hallway.  "Thank you," says the woman.  The man nods to Lisa.  "Thanks," he says.  Lisa walks to room 6, which is her room.  Her own room in Amsterdam!

To be a successful leader, marketer, salesperson, or even job candidate, you need to be able to tell business stories well. Leaders tell stories to inspire their employees and to help them see what’s possible or to teach them something. They also tell investors, donors, board members, and others impact stories that reassure them their time and money are working. 

Business stories hold so much potential that I think they should be told every single day in workplace interactions! 

Even if you don’t identify as a storyteller, you will be prompted to tell stories at times in your career. But most people are not natural-born storytellers. It’s a skill that takes training and practice. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to business storytelling techniques. With a little practice, you’ll be a great storyteller in no time!

Connect and Persuade Through Business Storytelling

In this episode, we explore the subtle but important difference between the Italian verbs "parlare" and "dire". While both verbs can be translated as "to speak" or "to say", they have distinct meanings and usage.

Difference between Parlare and Dire

Tre ragazze si presentano al signor Cristi, dichiarando di essere la figlia che non vede da vent'anni. Il signor Cristi chiede allora aiuto all'ispettore Malvisi che escogita un metodo per riuscire a scoprire la vera Agata Cristi, vale a dire la figlia del signor Cristi e per farlo ricorrerà all'aiuto di Agatha Christie, la grande scrittrice inglese.

Are you ready to master the art of effective business communication? As an educator, my primary objective is to equip my Business English (BE) students with the skills they need to excel in the professional realm. In my class, we dive deep into the world of written communication, exploring the ins and outs of crafting compelling emails, memos, reports, and business letters. From understanding the core principles of effective writing to applying them in practical scenarios, I guide my students on a journey towards proficiency. Through engaging discussions and interactive exercises, we explore the importance of clarity, conciseness, and precision in communication. Grammar, punctuation, and formatting conventions are meticulously dissected, forming the building blocks of polished writing. Moving forward, we delve into the practical aspects of business communication, dissecting the components of impactful emails, constructing concise and effective memos, and mastering the art of persuasive report writing. Additionally, we explore the nuances of writing professional business letters, adapting our communication style to suit diverse audiences and contexts. Through role-playing activities and simulations, my students gain practical experience, preparing them to navigate real-world business scenarios with confidence.
