Friday Episode with Alexander

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

✔ How I improved my English on the job (despite not having great grades in school)

✔ Why consuming high-quality English content (like podcasts, TED Talks, and books) made a big difference

✔ 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

✔ How to shift your mindset from perfection to communication

✔ The power of practicing with others and surrounding yourself with supportive people

🔧 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.
