A practical support guide for professionals using English at work
Using English at work can feel surprisingly difficult, not because you don’t know the language, but because real conversations happen quickly and without preparation. Many professionals find they hesitate, overthink, or run out of things to say in meetings, networking situations, or informal workplace conversations.
The Business Small Talk Toolkit is a downloadable PDF designed to support professionals who already have a working level of English but want more confidence and clarity in everyday business interactions.
This toolkit does not teach grammar or formal business English. Instead, it focuses on the moments where people often get stuck, starting conversations, keeping them going, handling silences, and exiting politely.
20 short, focused units covering common workplace situations such as meetings, networking, conferences, client interactions, and virtual conversations
Practical mindset prompts to help manage nerves and reduce overthinking before and during conversations
Example phrases and one-liners suitable for professional contexts
Tips and reflection prompts to help you notice what works and improve with practice
A printable self-check page to track progress over time
The toolkit is designed to be used flexibly. You can dip into individual units as needed rather than working through it from start to finish. It works best as a reference and practice aid alongside real-life experience, not as a standalone course.
Use English regularly at work, but don’t always feel confident speaking
Understand English well but struggle in spontaneous conversations
Want practical guidance for real workplace situations rather than theory
Are a beginner in English
Are looking for grammar lessons, exercises, or audio practice
Want a structured course with feedback or assessments
Fluency isn’t about perfect grammar. It’s about being able to take part in conversations when they matter.
This toolkit aims to support that process by helping you feel more prepared and less stuck in common business situations.
