Reuniones y Calls en Ingles
Las reuniones en ingles son el momento donde muchos profesionales LATAM se sienten mas vulnerables. Pero con preparacion y las frases correctas memorizadas, puedes participar con confianza y agregar valor real a cualquier discusion.
Frases por Fase de la Reunion
| Fase | Funcion | Frase |

| Apertura | Definir agenda | Today we'll be covering three main topics... |
| Participacion | Dar opinion | From my perspective, I think we should... |
| Participacion | Agregar punto | Building on what Sarah said, I'd also like to add... |
| Participacion | Preguntar | Could you elaborate on that point? |
| Aclarar | Pedir clarificacion | I'm sorry, could you say that again? I want to make sure I understand. |
| Aclarar | Confirmar entendimiento | So if I understand correctly, you're suggesting that... |

| Cierre | Resumir | Let me quickly summarize the key takeaways... |
| Cierre | Asignar acciones | Sarah, you'll handle X. James, you'll take care of Y. |
Video Calls: Tips Practicos
- Llega 2 minutos antes: Verifica audio, video y conexion
- Mute cuando no hablas: Evita ruido de fondo
- Mira a la camara: No a la pantalla — esto simula contacto visual
- Ten un chat-cheat-sheet: Frases clave impresas cerca de la camara
- Si no entiendes: Es 100% profesional pedir que repitan. "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that"
El truco del 'restate': cuando no estes seguro de haber entendido, repite lo que crees que la persona dijo con tus palabras. 'Just to confirm — you're saying that we should delay the launch by two weeks?' Esto demuestra atencion activa y aclara cualquier malentendido.
Small Talk Profesional
| Situacion | Tema Seguro | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| Inicio de call | Clima/Fin de semana | How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? |
| Primer encuentro | De donde es | Where are you based? How long have you been with the company? |
| Despues de vacaciones | Viaje | Welcome back! How was your time off? |
| Networking event | Trabajo | What brings you to this event? What do you do? |
| Almuerzo de trabajo | Comida/Ciudad | Have you been to this restaurant before? Any recommendations? |
Handling Difficult Moments
- No sabes la respuesta: "That's a great question. Let me look into it and get back to you by [date]"
- Te interrumpen: "If I could just finish my point... [continuar]. What were you going to say?"
- Conexion mala: "I think we're having some connectivity issues. Could you repeat that?"
- No entiendes el acento: "Could you type that in the chat for me? I want to make sure I have it right"
- Error gramatical: No te disculpes — corrigete naturalmente y sigue adelante
Prepara 3-5 puntos clave ANTES de cada reunion. Escríbelos en ingles. Esto elimina la ansiedad de 'no saber que decir' y te permite enfocarte en escuchar y responder, en lugar de pensar en como formular tus ideas en tiempo real.
