SWE 126 - Anti- Procrastination Motivation- Part 1

Na recepção de um salão de convenções em Fortaleza.
 Estrangeiro - Por favor, gostaria de fazer minha inscrição para o congresso. Recepcionalista - Pelo seu sotaque, vejo que o Senhor não é brasileiro! O Senhor é de onde? 
E - Eu sou da Espanha. 
R - Ah, legal! Pronto, tem uma palestra agora na sala meia oito. E - Desculpe, qual sala? R - Meia oito. Estrangeiro - Você pode escrever? R - Não sabe o que é meia oito? Sessenta e oito, assim, veja 68. E - Entendi, meia é seis! R - Correto, meia é seis. Mas não vá embora, só mais uma informação, a organização do congresso está cobrando uma pequena taxa para quem quiser ficar com o material, como dvds e apostilas. O senhor gostaria? E - Quanto tenho que pagar? R - Dez reais, porém estrangeiros e estudantes pagam meia. E - Hum, que bom! Aí está seis reais! R - Não, o senhor paga meia, só cinco, entende? E - Pago meia, só cinco? R – Isso mesmo, meia é cinco. E– Tudo bem, entendi. R - Cuidado para não se atrasar, a palestra começa às nove e meia, Senhor? E - Então eu já me atrasei, porque já são nove e vinte. R - Não, ainda faltam dez minutos, como falei, só começa às nove e meia. E - Pensei que fosse às nove e cinco, pois meia não é cinco? Você pode escrever aqui a hora que começa? R - Nove e meia, assim, veja, nove horas e trinta minutos. E - Ah, entendi, meia é trinta. R - Isso mesmo, meia é trinta. Mais uma coisa, Senhor, tenho aqui um folder de um hotel que está fazendo um preço especial para os congressistas, o senhor já está hospedado? E - Sim, eu já estou hospedado na casa de um amigo. R - Em qual bairro, Senhor? E - No trinta bocas. R - Trinca bocas? Não existe esse bairro em Fortaleza. Não seria seis bocas? E - Isso mesmo, no bairro meia-boca. R - Não é meia-boca, é um bairro nobre, um bairro chique! E – Ah, então deve ser cinco bocas. R - Não, seis bocas, entende? Chama assim porque é um encontro de seis ruas, por isso seis bocas, entendeu? E - Ah, e quem há de entender!

🎙️ Introducing “The Voice You Forgot You Had”
By Anatoly Glazkov – Identity Architect for High-Stakes Professionals

Most learners think their struggle is with English.
In reality, it’s with identity.

After years of study, many high-achieving women still feel a quiet dissatisfaction every time they speak — as if their English is fine, but they aren’t.
Their voice sounds smaller than who they really are.

This podcast is about that hidden moment — when confidence collapses not because of grammar, but because of who’s behind the words.

I’m Anatoly, an identity architect for high-stakes professionals.
Over 20,000 sessions taught me one truth:
you don’t need more English; you need to recalibrate the person who uses it.

Each short episode is a cinematic exploration of what happens when you step out of the English performance box and start speaking as your real self.
It’s not language training — it’s psychological tuning.

You’ll hear reflections, guided moments, and stories from people who learned to stop asking “How do I sound?” and start asking “Who is speaking?”

Episode 0 — “The Architect of the Voice”
The story behind my method, Identity Recalibration:
how I help professionals transform anxiety into presence and performance into authenticity.

Listen when you need to reconnect with the part of you that already knows how to speak.

“The Voice You Forgot You Had”

George and Harold test the Hypno-Ring on Mr. Krupp. They tell him he is a superhero called Captain Underpants. Mr. Krupp believes it! He takes off his clothes (except his underwear and cape) and starts acting like a real superhero. The boys are shocked and don’t know what will happen next.

Listen and follow along.

Chapter 10 The 3-D Hypno-Ring

Did you feel confident in your last interview? 

If you didn’t feel confident, your interviewer likely didn’t perceive you as confident. 

Yet, in the U.S. and many other countries, interviewers prefer confident candidates. It seems to have an intoxicating effect on them, and many of them equate it (for better or for worse) with competence. So, it’s a skill worth learning! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn which groups of people struggle most with confidence in interviews. You’ll also learn how you can overcome self-doubt to feel and project confidence in an interview.  Ultimately, you'll feel better, increase your interviewer's confidence in you, and land a job offer.
