"Internal viruses" that is killing your communication skiills at work

The term “internal virus” is a metaphorical way of describing negative thought patterns, habits, and beliefs that undermine your ability to communicate effectively in a professional setting. 
These “viruses” operate internally, sabotaging your confidence, clarity, and ability to connect with others.


Do you have those?

Fear of Judgment:

Symptoms: Hesitation to speak up in meetings, avoiding difficult conversations, censoring your ideas, worrying excessively about what others think.

Antidote: Challenge negative thoughts, focus on the value you bring to the table, remember that everyone makes mistakes.

Imposter Syndrome:

Symptoms: Feeling like a fraud, doubting your abilities, attributing successes to luck, constantly comparing yourself to others.

Antidote: Acknowledge your accomplishments, focus on your strengths, remember that everyone has weaknesses, challenge your negative self-talk.

Perfectionism:

Symptoms: Overthinking your communication, spending too much time crafting emails or presentations, getting paralyzed by the fear of making mistakes.

Antidote: Accept that “good enough” is often good enough, prioritize progress over perfection, focus on the overall message rather than minor details.

By identifying and addressing these “internal viruses,” in my 1-1 VIP coaching classes you can unlock your communication potential and achieve greater success in your career and your relationships.

LOUISE: Hey, Julia … Look at those desserts! How about baking 
some cookies today?
JULIA: Hmm … Yeah, that’s a great idea! While we’re here, let’s 
pick up the ingredients.
JULIA: OK, what do we need?
LOUISE: The recipe calls for flour, sugar and butter. Oh, and we 
also need eggs and chocolate chips.
JULIA: Why don’t you get the dairy ingredients? You’ll find those 
in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. I’ll get 
the dry ingredients — they’re in aisle 10.
LOUISE: Great! Let’s meet at the checkout.
JULIA: OK. See you there.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• How about is a casual way to suggest doing an activity. Notice that “how about” is followed 
by an “-ing” verb.
• Hmm … Notice that Julia pauses for a moment. “Hmm” is an expression used to think about 
something first before speaking.
• That’s a great idea! Notice the emphasis on “great.” Julia has thought about it and then 
decided that she really does want to bake cookies.
• The recipe calls for is a way of saying “the recipe says we need.” The phrase “call for” can 
also be used to talk about the weather forecast. (They’re calling for rain.)
• … flour, sugar and butter. Notice that this is a list, so there are short pauses between each 
item. Notice also that each ingredient is stressed because this information is important.
• Why don’t you … This expression is used to ask someone to do something. It can also be 
used to give advice — but in this case two friends are deciding on who does which task.
• Aisle Notice the silent “s” in aisle. An aisle is an orderly lane in a supermarket, with shelved 
products on both sides. Each aisle has a number, so that it is easy to find what you need.
