A otra cosa mariposa

Todos tenemos talentos especiales esperando a que los apliquemos a una empresa digna. Todos tenemos algún tipo de genio personal. Todos estamos aquí con un propósito único, algún objetivo noble que nos permitirá manifestar nuestro máximo potencial humano, mientras añadimos valor a la vida de quienes nos rodean. Descubrir esa vocación no quiere decir que debas abandonar el trabajo en el que te ocupas. Sólo significa que tendrás que aportar a ese trabajo más esfuerzo y centrarte en las cosas que sabes hacer mejor. Hoy mismo decide ser brillante en lo que haces, y en cómo vives.

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis interviews Shweta Ramkumar, a communication coach and founder of Healthy Dynamics,  who helps healthcare professionals from non-English speaking backgrounds become confident, empathetic communicators in English.

Shweta’s passion for healthcare communication began at home, growing up with a doctor mom. Today, she uses that experience to coach international healthcare workers, blending emotional intelligence, cultural understanding, and real-life clinical scenarios with ESL strategies.

They discuss:

The biggest English communication mistakes healthcare professionals make (and it’s not grammar)

Why miscommunication can create emotional stress for both patients and providers

How empathy, trust, and active listening can improve patient care

The powerful results her clients see through one-on-one coaching

Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, medical student, or ESL professional in healthcare, this episode will help you understand how clear, compassionate English can truly change lives, starting with your own.
