You’re not losing opportunities because your English is weak. You’re losing them because you don’t fully see yourself as a communicator yet. That hesitation you feel in meetings. That moment in interviews when your answers sound smaller than your experience. That quiet frustration after years of study, courses, and practice. That’s the price you’re paying. While you’re “improving English,” others with less accuracy but stronger presence are being trusted, promoted, and listened to. Because communication at a professional level isn’t evaluated by grammar. It’s evaluated by how you show up under pressure. After 20,000+ one-to-one sessions with professionals across 70+ countries, one pattern is clear: people don’t fail because they lack skills — they stall because they haven’t stepped into the role. Until you accept yourself as a communicator, every conversation will cost you something: confidence, authority, or opportunity. And that cost compounds.
