318. When You're Capable in English… But You Don’t Trust Yourself (A Conversation with Joely Pullen)

In this episode of Confident Business English, I’m joined by Joely Pullen, who owns Savvy English. A company with 2000+ students across 25 companies, for the first part of a real, unscripted conversation about confidence at work. We talk about a challenge we both see all the time: professionals who already have a good level of English but don’t feel confident using it when it really matters. If you’ve ever thought “I know what I want to say, but I just don’t say it,” this episode will resonate. We explore the difference between confidence and competence, why this is often harder to fix than language itself, and what’s really going on beneath the surface. Enjoy!
