Does your accent hold you back in those crucial English job interviews? 🤔 I hear this ALL the time from ambitious executives! The worry: that your unique way of speaking somehow hurts your credibility. 😟 But what if I told you your accent wasn’t a bug, but a feature? ✨ Brad Smith (former Intuit CEO, with that distinctive West Virginia drawl 😉) famously said, “I realized my accent isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.” He was even asked to take accent reduction training – and he declined! 🙅‍♂️ Why? Because, as he wisely pointed out, “People prefer leaders who are different because it makes leadership seem more attainable.” 💯 You have a choice, my friend! You don’t have to conform to someone else’s expectations. 🙅‍♀️ You’re not a cog in a machine, trying to fit into someone else’s wheel. You bring something unique and valuable to the table. 💎 Ready to challenge how you view your English language journey? 🤔 Ask yourself: What’s the benefit of holding onto the belief that my accent is a disadvantage? (Spoiler alert: probably none! 😜) What are the real disadvantages? 🧐 What opportunities am I missing out on by holding onto this perspective? 🚀 THIS IS HUGE! 📣 Could I benefit from guidance from someone who gets it? Someone who’s FACED similar challenges & achieved success 🏆 and is willing to mentor me – and, crucially, am I WILLING to be coached? 🤯 (Read that again! 🤓) Start by questioning those assumptions. You might find that the ‘disadvantage’ you felt was just a perspective you picked up from somewhere. 💡 No blame – just awareness. 👍 You have what it takes to THRIVE! 💪 I believe in you! Let’s unlock your authentic voice and DOMINATE those interviews! 🎤 Ready to connect?

How do you split your personality when speaking English? It took me 9 years to understand it and over 20 thousand 1-1 sessions with my clients. A personality split or a shifting sense of self – in the context of acquiring a new language. It’s not a true “split” in the clinical sense of dissociative identity disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder). Instead, it’s a dynamic alteration in how we present ourselves, think, and feel, contingent on the linguistic environment we find ourselves in. Let me elaborate: The Essence of the “Shifting Sense of Self” Imagine your native language as a well-worn, comfortable garment. It’s woven into your personality, shaping your sense of humor, emotional expression, and even your thought patterns. When you learn a new language, it’s like trying on a new set of clothes – at first, it feels unfamiliar, perhaps a bit ill-fitting. As you become more proficient, the “garment” becomes more comfortable, influencing your “self” in new ways. Listen to my new podcast on this topic to start a new beginning on the success foundation you already have. Doing that will totally transform your spoken English game whether for self-presentations related to job, public speaking etc. Do it now. To your unstoppable self!
