How confident do you feel when native speakers suddenly say things like “this is our North Star,” “there’s a bottleneck,” or “let’s strengthen the pipeline”? Do you understand the words, but not quite the real meaning? In this practical, confidence-building workshop hosted by Alysia, an award-winning teacher turned highly sought-after business consultant and coach, you’ll learn how metaphors actually work in global business English—and how to use them naturally yourself. We’ll unpack common expressions leaders use to explain complex ideas quickly and persuasively, so you no longer have to guess what people really mean in meetings.

This session is designed to be simple, hands-on, and immediately useful. You’ll practice using real business metaphors correctly, in realistic workplace scenarios with clients, colleagues, and partners. By the end, you won’t just understand phrases like “the bottleneck” or “the North Star”, you’ll be able to use them with confidence to sound clearer, more fluent, and more professional. Expect practical tools you can apply the very next day at work, in a smart, supportive, and confidence-boosting environment.
