Beyond Grammar: Why Communication is the Real Business Language
"Is my grammar correct?"
This is the most common question new students ask me. It makes sense. In school, we were graded on grammar. A mistake meant failure.
But the workplace is not a classroom.
In my 24 years working in global corporations, I noticed something important: The people who got promoted weren't always the ones with perfect English grammar. They were the ones who could communicate outcomes clearly.
The "Perfect English" Trap
Many professionals stay silent in meetings because they are mentally checking their verb tenses. By the time they construct the "perfect" sentence, the conversation has moved on.
Communication vs. Grammar
- Grammar is about following rules.
- Communication is about getting results.
If you make three small grammar mistakes but explain the solution in 30 seconds, you have succeeded.
What Actually Matters at Work?
Stakeholders care about three things:
- Clarity: Do I understand what you need?
- Confidence: Do you sound sure of your data?
- Conciseness: Are you respecting my time?
