Advanced Business English that Results to Leadership Competencies

"The power of innovative thinking, critical reasoning, communicating affectively and learning new insights enable us to connect with others throughout our lives. The skills are intangible to many but these are the competencies that will make us adequately communicative as human beings."



Facts: 
Our Researches show that there is a growing deficiency in the area of Advanced Business English Competency among individuals who are leading teams, communicating extensively to external parties outside a given organization, cannot explain or sustain effective communicative proficiency when speaking with an audience, notwithstanding that a bigger population of Expats deployed in many English speaking countries cannot demonstrate adequate competencies in Business English as a business language.  58 percent up to 71 percent range of internationally deployed workforce have acknowledged their handicap is on Business English Skills in Advanced Level to support the demand and communication requirements of their jobs. 

Innovative Goals:
Among the workforce of multi-national organizations from other countries, who migrated to the United States and other English-speaking countries needed extra efforts in exploiting their inabilities of articulating their ideas with their co-workers. To increase the needed level of proficiency, one must register in Advanced Business English Class, Coaching or Workshop that will enable usable techniques and skills of being a leader at a given work setting.

Limitations Prohibit Career Advancement:
While there is an enormous desire to increase one's competencies in Advanced Business English after arrival at their new environment. Majority have failed in making strategic decisions to learn effectively. Instead, they enrolled in traditional ESL Classrooms and centers that provided those Generic ESL Lessons and did not develop their business technical English competencies.

Selling Oneself during Conversations and Interviews


As candidate for a specific position, you must know your abilities. Be confident that you bring your technical skills and professional competencies to the employer’s business. When given that chance and moment, you will take advantage of the situation and discuss the problems and challenges they were facing but not to inquire about jobs, and show them your enthusiasm to bring in additional revenue through your effectiveness. This scenario will turn into your favor as a candidate. In addition, knowing what is outside the interviewing room is equally crucial piece of information for making your personal or professional decision to join the organization. You have the right to inquire in equal footing to their right of screening you.

Candidates must NOT work with recruiters or representatives with bad practices:
Your goal as a candidate is to screen out those organizations that do not demonstrate good recruitment and hiring practices. Be watchful of common bad practices; such as oftentimes requested an updated resume but never get any follow up from the Requester. Nor they send any acknowledgement, or communicate back with candidates after initial conversations. They do not send a feedback of the status of the application. They send a reply to candidates after 3 months from date of application. Conducted an interview either by phone or in person, but did not send any updates beyond ten days. All of these common bad practices within the recruitment and staffing arena are giving a bad name to the industry where real professionals do their work at best. Create a database of people you have spoken with regards to jobs and do not communicate with them again if they do not practice good business and communication. They are not a good source of information about opportunities.

Make your competencies as your assets:
Your competencies will demonstrate your abilities to do the job. Having the proficiency in speaking and conversationally engage with the Interviewing Team or Panel, this will open the doors of opportunity for you.

Highlight your technical skills, illustrate through effective conversations your proficiency in communicating about your ideas and abilities to perform the job. 

Create your portfolio that will speak about yourself and discuss strongly how you can solve many of the issues that the company are going through. Put currency value to your efforts and business plan. Present that ROI and they will extend you an offer letter without blinking. Must illustrate your capabilities as validated by experiences that were undeniably effective with ROI and results-driven.

Have your References talk and discuss about your qualities as an individual, a team partner, leader, or part of an effective team. However, be mindful do not give your List of References to a recruiter to contact until you have a face to face interview and been extended a verbal offer.

Do you have difficulties with persuasive conversations?
The American Coaches of Ideas N Conversations can help you develop and advance your interviewing skills and become conversationally savvy. Your proficiency to articulate your skills and competencies will influence the hiring decision.
