The 3-Second Shift: From Tension to Trust

What if clarity had nothing to do with vocabulary?
What if your English didn’t need fixing — your voice just needed space?

In this episode, I share a story about one of my clients — a senior product lead at Tencent — who felt like she disappeared every time she had to speak in English.

She wasn’t struggling with grammar.
She was struggling with presence.

We didn’t work on performance.
We worked on something simpler — and far more powerful:
A 3-second shift that helped her speak from calm, not tension. From self-trust, not fear.

If you’re a global professional who sounds fluent but doesn’t feel fully you in English — this episode is for you.

DM me “VOICE” if it resonates. I’ll send you a short voice note you can use today.

Let’s bring your real voice back.

Onko suomen oppiminen helpompaa ruotsia tai englantia äidinkielenään puhuville? Lainasanat ovat osa puhuttua kieltä, on luonnollista lainata sanoja ja suomalaistaa ne. Tässä podcastin jaksossa käsittelen suomen kielen lainasanoja ja käytän esimerkkinä aivan loistavaa Fred Karlssonin kielioppikirjaa. Kun astuu suomalaiseen kielimaailmaan, törmää ankkaan, pankkiin ja penkkiin.

＜English translation＞
About Teru Teru Bozu
Teru Teru Bozu is a traditional Japanese doll.
Children make it when they don’t want it to rain, such as before a sports day or a school trip.

Teru Teru Bozu is made from white paper or tissue.
Sometimes it doesn’t have a face, but some people draw a face after the next day if it is sunny.

People hang the doll outside and say,
"Please make the weather sunny tomorrow."
This custom has been passed down for many years in Japanese culture.
