Marrying Beneath You (an idiom) (with transcript)

It hurts when you know you’re good at your job — but in meetings or interviews, you sound unsure, slow, or small in English.

You try to explain your idea, but your voice drops, your sentence gets shorter, and your status leaks — people stop seeing you as senior.

That’s not bad English. That’s your old work-identity showing up when the pressure is high.

Internal rebranding helps you stop sounding like who you used to be —so you don’t lose respect the moment you start to speak. 

Speechless Leader. Stop sounding smaller than your expertise.

OPTIMISM IS A STATE OF MIND 

나 팔다리 피부가 너무 건조해.
我手臂和腿部的皮肤太干燥了。 

너 피부가 이렇게 좋은데 건조해졌다니?
你的皮肤这么好, 怎么说干燥呢? 

요즘 바빠서 샤워 후에 바디로션을 잘 안 발랐더니 피부가 건조해졌어.
最近因为太忙, 洗完澡后没抹身体乳, 所以皮肤变干燥了。

그랬구나. 샤워 후에는 바디로션을 바로 발라야 피부 보호층이 생겨. 
原来是这样啊。洗完澡一定要马上抹身体乳, 皮肤才会有保护层。
