Demo Class Notes (Paula – Tibo)

I am being in SH around 10 years. I am working in the consulting firm and work with expert network industry. already married.
anything you want to know me.
Actually we are not typically consulting firm . are clients are like the huge funds. PE and strategy consulting so when they are deliver some project and they want to know some industry knowledge they send request to us and we will contact the industry expert and contact to them.
I work on the consulting team in charge of greater china consulting.
our facing the expert side is the whole industry experts. It is most focused on the china but issue is it is a global firm so we have the same team in US and Europe.
I didn’t need English for clients but most internal communication like the communication with Europe and US consulting managers.
For me most case it is internal communication.
In mainland china with only speak Chinese but HK clients you should speak English.
My big issue is at the moment I report to our manager is in US. Sometimes I cant clearly to explain my ideas inside something to her so she encourages me to take some lessons.
most issues is because my leader would like to me join global coordinator work but when we in the meetings sometimes I cant to speak out.

we are headquarters in London.
It is big barrier for me because a lot of colleagues are sometimes India and Korean Japan. Someone is in London and outside of London it is different.
US is struggling as well because sometimes he miss some words and they speak is very fast.

I didn’t learn much English in before. I learned in the company but my boss don’t think it well because sometimes I didn’t same some kindly work.
Like I say the one is didn’t do.
this part I can’t awareness

In my role at the moment I am in charge of the new joiners I should training them.
We should to use English to present
I will prepare a lot of the time and do the smart way like I read and I include some workshop and discussion session.
Sometimes I hardly to explain to people when I ask the question. If I prepare I can read but the people always ask you deeper.
sometimes we need to apply global directive but tell them why it could different here

My leader is quite well, she wants me to speak more during the meeting but when I speak the others quiet so she wants me to improve and empower my situation.
