Bonus Episode 3: 社交媒体对我们生活的影响？给青少年的压力？容貌焦虑？ （全中文）

““My Success Story” Confidence Building Exercise. Episode 401.

For my students – entrepreneurs and C-level managers – a lack of confidence isn’t solely about grammar; it’s often rooted in perception and the perceived risks associated with speaking English.

When I talk about risk, I’m referring to the fear of making mistakes, the fear of being judged, the fear of rejection, or of being looked down upon. Does that resonate with your experience?

If so, keep reading, I understand where you’re coming from.

Miscommunication can be particularly challenging for high achievers. The fear of failing to secure a deal, of giving the wrong impression, or of appearing incompetent – these are common thought patterns for many language learners.

But you are not like that. You’ve had past successes, you have victories, you’ve achieved significant heights before, correct?

Then why do you allow these destructive thoughts to take hold and undermine your confidence each day?

Ultimately, you are responsible for both your successes and your setbacks.

Now, let’s move into the exercise. My voice will be calm and soothing, guiding you towards a more relaxed, ‘alpha-level’ state.

From this state, you will be able to re-evaluate your situation from a new perspective, and more importantly… enjoy the process!

I look forward to seeing you in my 1-1 VIP coaching classes.

To Your Success, Anatoly”
