Do you struggle to connect with others in English at work?
You know your skills, experience, and ideas are valuable - but when it comes to speaking English at work, you feel like you can't express yourself the way you want to.
You feel nervous about introducing yourself in professional situations, and worried that you will stumble or lose your train of thought.
You feel invisible and overlooked in meetings because you hesitate to speak up.
Phone calls and networking events make you anxious, because you struggle to make small talk, connect, and show your true personality in your second language.
This is fixable.
You’re not lacking ability - you’re just lacking the opportunity to practise these specific professional communication skills before they matter at work.
And that’s exactly what English for Work is designed to give you.
A change you can feel in just 6 weeks!
Work is a place that tests your confidence, not a place to build it.
Those moments when you feel anxious or self-doubt starts creeping in aren’t the best time to work on improving your English.
That’s why, over six weeks, you’ll practise the situations that feel challenging at work - away from day-to-day pressure and stressors - in a small, supportive group, with guidance from an experienced English Fluency Coach.
So instead of feeling nervous on the phone or invisible in meetings, you’ll be prepared. You'll comfortable to speak up, able to say what you want to say and connect with people naturally.

"Significantly boosted my confidence!
Before the program, I felt anxious and isolated at work. I didn’t feel capable of performing my role and couldn’t connect with people, so I just avoided English interactions. But after completing ‘English For Work’, I can communicate clearly and confidently in meetings, on the phone with clients, and even in my small talk interactions with colleagues!”"

Questions you may have
Is the price for all three parts of the program?
No, the price indicated on this page is for Part 1 only.
Do I have to do all three? Can I just do one?
You can choose which parts of this program you complete, and in which order (i.e. you do not need to complete Part 1 first). Each part covers a specific area of workplace communication. There will be a separate application and enrolment process for each of the three parts.
When are the classes?
The next Part 1 classes will run from 9th February - 20th March 2026. There will be classes available in different timezones - they will be displayed on the bottom of this page when enrolments open in January 2026. Your live classes (Working Groups & Simulated Practice sessions) will be held every week at the same day and time, for the duration of the 8-week program.
How many participants are in each class?
You can expect a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 other people in your class, but you will have opportunities to practise speaking in different contexts; smaller groups, one-to-one with other classmates, group simulated role play experiences and a one-to-one session with your Coach.
Do I need a Hey Lady! membership to enrol?
Yes, you will need an active Hey Lady! Membership to enrol in our English For Work Program, as our small-group classes are hosted inside our online platform and you will communicate with you Coach and classmates via the platform. Learn about Membership Plans.
