Are you afraid of difficult conversations in English?
Maybe you also…
...talk too much when you’re nervous.
...find it hard to say “no” or disagree politely.
...feel frustrated when your ideas lose impact in English.
It’s not your grammar or lack of vocabulary.
It’s the pressure to sound perfect.
Speak Up HR will help you break through that.
Imagine if you could…
...express your thoughts clearly and naturally — even under pressure
...handle feedback, salary talks, and negotiations with confidence
...disagree or set boundaries without sounding agressive
...earn more respect and recognition for your expertise
What will I get?

📍 Online via Google Meet — join from anywhere; recordings included

Frequently Asked Questions
❓When does the next round of the course start?
Next round starts in the week of 16 March 2026. The first session is on Friday 20 March (time to be decided).
❓What if I miss a lesson?
Lessons are recorded, and you will have access to the recordings and session notes.
❓Will I have access to materials?
You will receive materials every Monday during the course: a short video lesson, a practical challenge (to answer/record your answer to the question of the week), and a link to your personal AI assistant for the week (the free version of ChatGPT is enough). A shared glossary and lesson notes will include all new vocabulary.
❓Is this for me if I’m afraid to speak in front of others? What level of English do I need?
Yes! That’s exactly why I created this program – to help you build confidence. This will work best if you have B2 - C1 level of English. If you have any doubts about your level, we can meet for a free consultation. It’s not necessary to speak without mistakes. In the program, you’ll learn how to negotiate in English even if you make mistakes. Grammar and vocabulary notes are part of the lesson notes, and you can ask about anything unclear.
