Coaching Moments - Clear Doesn't Need "More"
Should you say “more clear” or “clearer”? In this Coaching Moment, learn why short adjectives such as clear, fast, small, and strong normally add -er when making comparisons. A simple mnemonic will help you remember when clear can carry its own ending and when longer adjectives really do need more. Because at work, clearer messages are easier to understand, easier to act on, and harder to misinterpret.

Coaching Moments - Listen Always Brings "To"
“You should listen more the team.” The message is clear, but one little word is missing: “to.” In today’s Coaching Moment, learn when “listen” needs “to” and how to remember the connection with a tiny companion. We’ll practise examples about colleagues, feedback, and podcasts, then finish with a sentence for you to complete. A small grammar adjustment to help your English sound more natural at work and beyond. Make your English work for you!

Coaching Moments - Feedback by the piece
“I have one feedback for you.” The meaning is clear, but the phrasing needs a small adjustment. In this episode of Coaching Moments, we explore why “feedback” is uncountable and when to use “some feedback” or “one piece of feedback.” A simple bread analogy helps you remember the pattern and use it naturally in workplace conversations, whether you’re sharing a suggestion, discussing performance, or responding to a colleague. Small changes become more useful when you understand the pattern behind them. Make your English work for you!

Coaching Moments - All aboard the "with" train!
“Could you share me the file?” The request is understandable, but in natural English, the parts of the sentence need to travel in a different order. In this Coaching Moment, we turn the sentence into a train: “share” is the engine, “the file” is the cargo, “with” is the coupling and “me” rides at the end. Learn the pattern share something with someone, see how it differs from “send me the file” and give every word its proper place.

Coaching Moments - No Duplicate Hire
“The manager, he approved the proposal.” The meaning is clear, but in standard professional English, the sentence gives the same job to two subjects. In this Coaching Moment, learn how to choose either the noun or the pronoun and streamline the sentence to “The manager approved the proposal” or “He approved the proposal.” It is a small change that makes your English sound cleaner, more natural and more confident.

Coaching Moments - Disagree, Don't Dismiss
How can you disagree clearly in English without making the other person feel dismissed? In this Coaching Moment, Will explains why “No, that’s not correct” can stop a discussion, even though the English is grammatically correct. Learn a more constructive alternative that expresses a different view, invites the other person to explain their thinking and keeps an important professional conversation moving.

Coaching Moments - Don't Discount Your Point
“This is probably not important, but…” may sound polite and cautious, but it can reduce the value of your idea before anyone has heard it. In this Coaching Moment, discover how “One thing to consider is…” gives your point a fair hearing without sounding overly assertive. It is a small language adjustment that helps your expertise come through with greater clarity and confidence.
