✔ Tips for writing regularly—even journaling—and using tools like ProWritingAid
✔ How slowing down when speaking actually makes you sound more confident
✔ Why making mistakes is part of the process—and doesn’t reflect on your intelligence
✔ Simple phrases I use to clarify or ask questions in meetings

🔧 Who It's For:
✔ If you’re working in a global team, attending meetings in English, or just want to become more confident in how you communicate at work, this episode is for you—especially if English isn’t your first language.
🎯 Final Thought:
Being a non-native speaker means you’re already multilingual—and that’s a strength. With practice and the right mindset, you’ll thrive in any English-speaking work environment.
