Are you phone shy?
Banish phone shyness today!
Hello there!
Have you ever felt stressed or super shy because you had to take or receive a business phone call in English? From our students’ stories this is a very common reaction and we would like to help you banish phone shyness for good!
Why are you feeling shy when it comes to speaking on the phone?
Before you master the art of talking on the phone, you need to pin down where your shyness comes from. Here are some facts we gathered from our students, through the years, that might help you go deeper with your phone shyness.
The most common reasons why English language learners experience phone shyness is because they:
- are aware of their poor English pronunciation
- feel their vocabulary range is somewhat limited
- fear their “funny” or strong native accent
- worry they might make mistakes while they speak in another language
- are concerned they won’t be able to understand the person on the other side of the line; it’s all too fast
If you feel the above reasons keep you shy and away from the phone, and consequently away from being present for your business and your projects, don’t worry, we have you covered!
So how can you banish phone shyness?
Whether you are a native or non-native English speaker, there’s a set of specific rules you need to know if you want to have clear, effective and pleasant business phone calls.
