Chapter 1 : The Resignation

Meet Lola Badiola! A talented commercial director working in the technology sector who has decided to quit her safe corporate job to join a technology start-up. Has she made the right decision?
This chapter is full of cool common expressions. We discuss the meaning of A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD and consider to which industries this description applies. We explain what happens when you BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS and show you how to place yourself HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST.
Phrasal verbs are one of the biggest challenges for English language students, so we help you create a long-term strategy to dominate this grammar point. We also make sure you never confuse GET ON with GET IN and GET OFF with GET OUT OF when talking about modes of transport.
Finally, we consider an issue that is of vital importance to Human Resources departments - how to you retain your HIPOs (High Potential Employees).
We hope you enjoy the diverse and relevant content in this chapter. When you are ready for more, please sign up to live and interactive classes with Marina and me, right here:
