What makes a team truly effective? In this episode of the Breakout Business English podcast, Chris breaks down Google’s Project Aristotle, a research study that reveals the top characteristics of high-performing teams — starting with psychological safety and dependability.

If you're a non-native English-speaking professional, this podcast is packed with real-world vocabulary, practical phrases, and grammar insights that you can immediately use in the workplace. Learn how to confidently speak up at work, how to “air your concerns,” and what it really means to follow through on a commitment — all while improving your English communication skills.

Chris has helped over 1,000 international professionals, from graduates to CEOs, enhance their workplace English. Now it's your turn!

✅ Learn the meaning and usage of key business English terms like:

• Psychological safety
• Inherently
• Dependability
• Face challenges
• Follow through
• Speak up
• Vent and air your concerns

✅ Today's examples:
- If anyone disagrees then this is the time to speak up and air your concerns.

- New ideas are inherently risky so if something doesn’t quite go to plan, lets learn from it and move on.

-It’s OK if you don’t have all the answers straight away, just make an educated guess and see if it works.

- I really appreciate that, whenever you’re faced with a tight deadline, you always knuckle down and get the work done on time.

- I can always rely on the team to step up and get the job done.

- If we commit to this deadline then we need to make sure that we follow through.

💼 Ideal for professionals working in English-speaking environments who want to:

• Improve communication with colleagues and managers
• Contribute more confidently in meetings
• Strengthen leadership and teamwork vocabulary
• Learn from real business scenarios and native phrases
