THE SPEAK WITH PIERRE PODCAST
THE SPEAK WITH PIERRE PODCAST is all about powerful communication and both personal and professional development. This podcast is a place for growth, guidance and great conversation.
As a communication coach and business English teacher, my goal is to empower people through language, valuable personal experiences and professional insights from my ten years of coaching and teaching.
This show is about inspiring people, great conversation and a space for learning!
In the early seasons, I invited coaches, creatives, spiritual guides and professionals from all walks of life to share their stories. We explored public speaking, career changes, confidence, mindfulness, leadership and of course language learning - always through the lens of personal growth and meaningful dialogue.
Now in Season 4, it's all about improving your communication skills. These solo episodes are short, focused and practical - packed with coaching insights to help you communicate more clearly, speak with confidence and open up the doors of opportunity in your professional life.
Whether you’re here to sharpen your business English skills or simply grow as a communicator, this podcast is just what you need.
It’s coaching meets conversation - with music, insight and moments that stay with you.
And of course, for all those interested in improving their communication skills with me, never hesitate to reach out! Find me on social media, check out my website and send me a message.
Let’s walk down the road to improvement together!
THE SPEAK WITH PIERRE PODCAST
Don’t Bore Your Job Interviewer with the Same Long Story…
Let me guess — you’ve worked hard. You care about your career. You want people to see the full picture.
So when the interview starts, you launch into your whole story…
your background, your experience, your last three roles…
But by the time you finish?
You’ve lost them — and you don’t even know it.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a common mistake I see again and again — especially with professionals who speak English as a second language:
👉 Starting your job interview with a long, detailed monologue that overwhelms your listener.
Not only is it hard to follow — it makes it harder for the interviewer to remember what matters most about you.
And in competitive hiring processes, that’s a risk you can’t afford.
We’ll talk about:
- Why so many professionals fall into this pattern — and where the pressure to prove yourself comes from
- What’s really going on in the mind of the person interviewing you
- How the human brain processes information — and why long intros fail
- What to say instead — using a simple 3-part structure that creates curiosity, builds credibility, and positions you as the right candidate
- How to speak with more clarity, presence, and calm, even under pressure
- Tips for second-language English speakers to sound more fluent, confident, and prepared in those critical first moments
This episode isn’t just about reducing what you say — it’s about saying the right things in a way that makes people listen.
Because when you start strong, the rest of the interview opens up.
🎯 Stay until the end for a practical challenge to help you rewrite and rehearse your introduction.
And if you want personal help preparing for interviews in English — I’d love to support you.
Let’s make sure your voice represents everything you’re capable of.
