🚨 Why Do Smart Adults Freeze in English?

20,000 coaching sessions. Different countries, different industries… but the same problem again and again.

Brilliant professionals who know their stuff — yet the moment they need to speak English in an interview, a meeting, or an exam… they freeze.

This episode pulls the curtain back on why it really happens (hint: it’s not grammar) and what you can do to break the pattern.

I’ll share the exact shift I’ve used with executives, IT managers, and IELTS test takers — a simple method that turns “panic” into presence in seconds.

💡 If you’ve ever gone blank in English, this will change how you think about confidence forever.

👉 Listen now — and if it hits home, DM me the word VOICE. I’ll show you how to practice the shift yourself.
