So you’re not a native English speaker, but your job requires you to speak it.
And while you’ve got all the basics down, there’s a part of you working on overdrive, hyper-aware of any mistakes, mispronunciations, or embarrassing “direct translations” from your first language.
You wish you could speak with the chilled-out confidence of John from Southampton, but if you try to imagine it, the idea seems absolutely ridiculous.
You have recurring thoughts like:
“Did I say that right?”
"What's the right word...?"
“Oh, I made a mistake. Do people think I’m stupid?”
“Should I put an ‘s’ on the end there?”
"Shouldn't I speak better by now?"
What if there’s a way to tune out that uncertainty and show the best version of yourself in your English?
Clear and effective communication sets you on the path to better professional relationships and the career that you want. Let me show you how this can become your reality…
If you’re ready to stop
Feeling like you “should” be improving but never seeing any progress
Hyper-focusing on complex grammar or vocabulary
Slowing down your speech – or staying quiet – to avoid making mistakes
Letting one silly mistake send you on a stress spiral where you feel even more stupid
Cringing over your own accent and worrying about being judged
(And I know what this is like because I’ve been there, too!)
…there is a way you can
Understand your multilingual brain better so you can work WITH it, not against it
Take small actionable steps that gradually build your confidence and skills over time (without having to dedicate hours every day)
Develop strategies for effective communication that go beyond just grammar and vocabulary
Bring your unique voice and personality to the conversation instead of trying to sound like someone else
Build strong connections with others through effective communication skills.
