Succeeding in your career and at work means many things. Today we're going to look at some natural and native ways to speak about getting a promotion and accepting more responsibility. We're going to hear some vocabulary, phrases, idioms and phrasal verbs that we can use to talk to our colleagues, managers, clients and customers about these things, and analyse the grammar that can make some of these words really confusing to use. So, if you need English at work, but you don't speak it natively then I hope you enjoy this podcast.

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful.

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.

Today's examples:

My predecessor set the bar pretty high but I think I’m up to the challenge.

I’m over the moon with this promotion, it’s definitely been a long time coming.

It feels like all the hard work I’ve put in over the past few years has finally been vindicated.

I’ve taken on a laundry list of new duties and a roster of staff as long as my arm! It’s definitely going to be a challenge.

Now that I’ve stepped into this new role I really need to step up and demonstrate that I can handle all of these new deliverables

I now oversee this whole department and it’s up to me to make sure that nothing gets overlooked.

Today's examples:

- We've done our homework on this so we're pretty confident about the outcome.

- Now that we’re got a hypothesis, we just need to test it and see if it holds up to scrutiny.

- We’ve got a hunch, now we just need to test it out.

- If this doesn’t pan out then we need to make sure that it doesn’t impact the wider project.

- Fortunately, we’ve engineered this test so as to limit the fallout.

Today's examples:

- We really are at the bleeding edge of the industry here.

- These are novel ideas and we really are in uncharted territory.

- We’re breaking new ground with this work and there’s no blueprint for how to go about this.

- We’re definitely heading in the right direction but setbacks are to be expected.

- It’s important that we articulate a concrete goal for the project before we start allocating resources.

- I think we all have a vested interest in figuring this out.
