Summarize to get on the same page
“I am lost in the conversation.”
“I tried to explain something but people don’t seem to understand.”
“I can’t find the right word. How can I express myself clearly?”
You will be able to get on the same page, and adapt your message to the amount of details needed.
Structure your message
How often do people not care about what you say?
How often do you have nothing to say, but your colleague can answer with a lot of information?
We will deep dive into how to structure your message based on your audience, and expand your answers when you don’t know what to say
Deal with conflicts
How often do you disagree but cannot seem to convince others?
Conflicts are on the surface. To resolve conflicts, you need to understand the other party on the “why”. We will do a lot of role playing exercises on aligning goals and reaching resolutions.
Give feedback
If there is something that bothers you, do you talk about it or avoid it? Do you worry about saying it out aloud will hurt your relationship?
We will practice effective ways to deliver feedback without hurting others’ feelings.
Workplace Communication for Non-Native English Speakers

Shunyao grew up in China and moved to the US for PhD in 2013. When she first arrived, she had to rely on others to translate in conversations with her advisor. It took many years but she was able to improve her communication skills enough to become a product manager at Google (as one of the 45 people around the globe accepted in the Google APM program).
Over the years, she has seen numerous pitfalls that lead to miscommunication at work, and developed frameworks that work the best for non-native English speakers. She started Communicate at Work to help more people like her. This course is a distillation of everything she learnt along the way.
