Speaking English fluently in a global environment can be more than just a requirement: it can be the bridge to new opportunities. For Eduardo Sepúlveda, PMO at BHP, learning English with Bridge was a way to gain confidence and clarity to communicate with international teams and lead with greater impact.
A Common Challenge: Understanding, but Not Engaging
Before starting his program, Eduardo faced a silent barrier.
“I struggled to actively participate in meetings in English. Although I understood what was being said, I lacked the confidence to intervene or express my ideas clearly,” he recalls.
That lack of confidence not only affected his participation in conversations but also his daily productivity.
“It took me a long time to write emails in English, which ended up slowing down my tasks.”
A Visible Change: More Fluency, More Confidence
With the support of his teacher and Bridge’s methodology, Eduardo began to see results from the first weeks.
“I’ve significantly improved my confidence. I now feel more comfortable speaking in English, even in meetings with international colleagues. My fluency has improved, and I can have more natural conversations without relying too much on translations.”
This progress didn’t go unnoticed. In recent meetings with colleagues from the United States and Australia, Eduardo felt the change:
“My message was clear, my questions were well-received, and that gave me a lot of confidence.”
More Than a Language: Leadership and Effective Communication
Eduardo’s learning went beyond the language itself. During the program, he also strengthened his communication and leadership skills.
“I learned to structure my ideas better, be clearer and more direct. That has had a positive impact on my leadership within the team.”
At Bridge, this combination of fluency, confidence, and real-world application is what defines impactful learning: enabling professionals to use English as a strategic tool in high-level work contexts.
Learning that Drives Results
Today, Eduardo communicates confidently in multicultural environments, actively participates in global projects, and conveys his ideas with precision. His story reflects what Bridge aims to achieve with every participant: that English stops being a barrier and becomes an enabler of professional growth.
“More than learning English, it was learning to communicate with confidence. And that makes all the difference.”
