So you could say I have an administrative role or an administrative hat as well as my owner hat.A worker bee is a person who is doing the detailed work, so it might be somebody in administration or might be somebody in design but worker bees are the people who are carrying out the larger ideas conceived by the boss.A pool of talent is the number of people who are available in any given sector of business who might be your target to take on as an employee.Collaborative tools are platforms such as Slack, Trello, Asana or even your Google calendar which is open to other people to view.

My hope is that by interviewing (mainly but not exclusively) non-native English speakers about how they got started in business and their English learning journey, you, the listener will gain insight, knowledge and confidence to carry out your own plans and ideas. You will also hear me explain some of the industry-specific words and phrases allowing you to better understand the conversation and open the door for you to listen to other similar podcasts and read blogs, websites, books etc. in English.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rich-english/message Hosted on Acast.
