bittersweet 苦乐参半

It's not the language barrier! Job Interview Prep | IELTS Speaking prep.

You are looking at the effect, not the cause!

Does it sound familiar? - 

"I am unable to communicate with others"

"I feel shy&nervous starting a conversation"

"I have a language barrier"

If it seems familiar then the goal is to determine what part of you that feels/thinks this way?

You 'native' part doesn't feel shy talking to people or finding words, your 'language-learner' part does.

How was it formed and how it affects you and as the result how it affects your speaking ways will be talked about in the podcast which you don't want to miss :)

Let me know how was the recording, what you got out from it?

and in our 1-1, private mindset coaching + language coaching immersion method I use to teach people to communicate classes we'll dive deeper into  your unique case and help you succeed!

My Chinese friend Han and I finally had the chance to sit down for a conversation. He had asked to be on my podcast to share his experience as my student, but with our busy schedules and limited time outside of class, we kept putting it off or rescheduling for the past six months. Finally, we found a mutual time that worked, so here’s the podcast!

I hope this episode speaks to those of you who’ve ever felt stuck learning English, who know the words but struggle to speak, who feel the pressure of exams but don’t feel confident in real conversations. Because learning a language isn’t just about passing tests, it’s about unlocking opportunities, building connections, and having the freedom to express yourself in any situation. If you’ve ever wished for that kind of confidence, this episode is for you!

In the previous podcast, I mentioned that investing in yourself is a must when you want to glow or level up. It is a must to have  a personal development budget that will not break the bank.
I will share some of my best practices in this podcast on how I budget, what I spend on depending on my goals.

Why using "I'm afraid" is better than saying, "I'm sorry" when giving bad news.

A coach can be a valuable asset in overcoming the challenges posed by micromanagement. By providing a confidential and supportive environment, a coach can help individuals develop strategies to navigate these situations effectively.

A coach can help individuals pinpoint the underlying reasons for micromanagement. This could be a manager's insecurity, lack of trust, or simply a poor management style. Understanding the root cause is crucial for developing an effective strategy.

Micromanagement often thrives on employees' lack of confidence. A coach can help individuals build self-esteem, develop assertiveness skills, and learn how to communicate their needs and boundaries clearly.

A coach can guide individuals in developing open and honest communication with their manager. By teaching active listening and clear expression, a coach can help individuals create a more productive and respectful working relationship.

A coach can help individuals establish healthy boundaries with their manager. This involves identifying areas where autonomy is essential and learning how to assert those boundaries without creating conflict.

Micromanagement can often lead to feeling overwhelmed. A coach can help individuals develop effective time management and prioritization skills, enabling them to manage their workload more efficiently and reduce the need for constant supervision.

A coach can provide emotional support and encouragement throughout the process of overcoming micromanagement. By offering a listening ear and providing guidance, a coach can help individuals build resilience and maintain a positive outlook.

Remember, overcoming micromanagement is a journey, not a destination. A coach can be a valuable partner in this process, providing the tools and support needed to thrive in challenging work environments.
