If you already use English at work, your challenge is probably not your level.
You attend meetings. You write emails. You participate in calls. You get the job done.
And yet, something still feels off. Not wrong — just not fully you.
What I see, again and again, is not a lack of English, but a lack of control over the English you already use shows up in real professional moments.
The English You Already Use vs. Using English at Work
There’s a quiet but important difference between knowing English and using English well under pressure.
Many professionals I work with:
Write clearly but hesitate when speaking
Explain ideas well but don’t sound convincing
Hold back in meetings, especially large ones
Over-prepare, then still doubt themselves
Feel their personality flatten in English
Sense that their English “works” — but doesn’t represent their role or experience
None of this means your English is bad. It means your English is doing a lot of work behind the scenes — costing you energy, confidence, or presence in moments that matter. This is not a grammar problem.It’s a use problem.
The Cost Is Subtle — But Real
When English is part of your job, the cost isn’t obvious mistakes.
It’s:
the moment you don’t jump in
the idea you soften too much
the point you explain instead of land
the decision you hesitate to close
Over time, that friction adds up.
You may still be seen as competent — but not as clearly, confidently, or decisively as you are in your first language.
And that gap matters more as your role grows.
A Tool for Clarity (Not a Test)
To help professionals get clearer about how English is actually showing up in their work, I created a short guided self-reflection.
It’s not a test.There are no right or wrong answers.It’s designed to help you notice patterns, not judge yourself.
You’ll reflect on common real-world situations — meetings, discussions, pressure moments — and see where English supports you… and where it quietly gets in the way.
Many people tell me the same thing after completing it:
“This finally put words to what I’ve been feeling.”
This Is the Direction of My Work in 2026
This year, my focus is shifting even more intentionally toward professionals who already function in English — but want to use it with more clarity, confidence, and control.
Less about learning English.More about working in English as yourself.
If that distinction resonates, the self-assessment is a good place to start.
No pressure.Just clarity.
