"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." - Ludwig Wittgenstein
This quote resonates deeply with my experience coaching non-native English-speaking executives. I recently had the privilege of working with Ana, a brilliant leader from Brazil. She faced a common challenge: despite her expertise, she hesitated to fully contribute in meetings conducted in English.
Imagine having groundbreaking ideas but holding back due to language barriers. This was Ana's reality. She worried that her accent and occasional grammatical errors would undermine her message and credibility.
Together, we embarked on a communication journey. We focused on:
1️⃣ Owning her accent: We reframed her accent, not as a weakness, but as a unique strength that added richness and personality to her communication.
2️⃣ Polishing pronunciation and articulation: Through targeted practice, we enhanced her clarity and fluency, ensuring her ideas were effortlessly understood.
3️⃣ Crafting compelling narratives: We honed her storytelling skills, enabling her to connect with her audience on an emotional level and make her ideas memorable.
4️⃣ Visualizing success: We used visualization techniques to build her confidence and reduce anxiety before high-stakes meetings.
The transformation was remarkable. Ana began actively participating in discussions, her insights shining through. Her colleagues were captivated by her newfound eloquence and the clarity of her communication.
Ana's story is a testament to the power of communication coaching. It's about empowering international executives to confidently share their expertise and leadership on the global stage.
