The art of negotiation : how to prepare, communicate, and find a win-win

Negotiation is part of everyday professional life: we negotiate prices, deadlines, responsibilities, salaries, resources, and working conditions. But successful negotiation is not about being aggressive or “winning” at any cost. It is about preparation, clear communication, emotional control, and understanding the other person’s needs. In this session, we’ll explore how to approach negotiations with more confidence and less stress. We’ll discuss how to prepare your arguments, manage emotions during difficult conversations, and look for solutions that work for both sides. ​This workshop is especially useful for anyone interested in sales, business communication, leadership, or workplace English. Participants will learn practical negotiation ideas, reflect on their own experience, and practise English through realistic discussion and professional vocabulary.

How to give feedback and say difficult things at work

Giving feedback is one of the most important communication skills at work, but it is also one of the easiest to get wrong. Feedback can be too vague, too soft, too direct, or too emotional — and instead of helping, it can make people defensive or confused. In this session, we’ll discuss our own experiences with giving and receiving feedback: what works, what feels difficult, and what kind of feedback actually helps people improve. We’ll also explore a simple practical formula for giving feedback in a clear, respectful, and useful way. This workshop is a chance to exchange opinions, reflect on real workplace situations, learn useful soft skills, and practise English through discussion, examples, and professional vocabulary.

Pitching ideas: getting buy-in

A good pitch is not just about having a beautiful slide deck or speaking confidently. It is about telling a story that helps people understand why your idea matters — and why they should support it. In this session, we’ll discuss our experiences with pitching ideas at work, in business, or in personal projects. We’ll explore what makes a pitch convincing, how to adapt your message to your audience, and how to present both the strengths and weaknesses of an idea with confidence. This workshop is a chance to learn practical communication techniques, exchange opinions, get inspired by real pitching strategies, and practise English through discussion, storytelling, and professional vocabulary.

Intercultural communication at work

As teams and workplaces become more international, communication is not only about language — it is also about culture. People may give feedback differently, build trust differently, make decisions differently, or have different expectations around hierarchy, disagreement, and time. In this session, we’ll discuss our own experiences with intercultural communication: moments of misunderstanding, surprising differences, and what helps people work better together across cultures. We’ll explore practical ideas for adapting our communication style and understanding others with more curiosity and flexibility. This session is a chance to gain new perspectives, exchange opinions, reflect on real professional situations, and practise English through discussion, examples, and useful workplace vocabulary.
