Hi, Let’s talk about the 4 conversations. Yup, 4. I recently had a coaching session with a client and shared this thought with him, which he found to be a real gamechanger. I wanted to share it with you here. When you are talking to one person, there are actually 4 people speaking. Not 2. […]
THE MAGIC THREE: Say what?!? Blood, sweat and tears. Ready, steady, go. Lights, camera, action. See what I just did? I used the power of 3. That seems to be the sweet spot when it comes to storytelling, giving examples, and writing in English. (See? I just used it there. Again.) As an English coach, […]
WORDS MATTER. Your words shape your world. In light of the recent, explosive, and damning crisis concerning The Voice, where dozens of women have been brave and bold, sharing their stories of abuse, rape, feeling uncomfortable, unsafe….as a (communication) coach I’d like to make the following clear. Crystal clear. What causes abuse? People. In this […]
Hi! Have you ever struggled with difficult words? You are not alone. I see this so often in my work. People are speaking, cruising along, everything is going swimmingly…. ….and then it happens. THE. WORD. That one difficult word that throws you off. You hesitate. You try to say the first part of it. You […]
SCENES FROM MY INBOX: ‘Hey, Buffi! Remember that amazing job I was applying for? The good news is I got through to the next round. The bad news is that I just found out the interview will be in English! I have no idea what to say! Can you help?’ I got this mail from […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR, sweet darling! Are you ready to start the new year off right? Full of confidence and ready to rock the world? Wait…what? You don’t feel awesome about yourself in English? You feel less intelligent than you really are when you have to speak (or sing, pitch, or present) in English? I got […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope that you are still in your pyjamas today, easing into the new year with grace, style, and maybe some cookie crumbs on your shirt. This is what I wish for you, this year and every year. That you live freely. Without shame. Without comparison. Without doubt. Without hesitation. That you […]
NEW YEAR, NEW YOU? All the hype has already started. A new year is on the horizon, so let’s set unrealistic goals and try to change everything about ourselves. Let’s improve it all. Why not? Our bodies, our mindset, our finances, our relationship goals. But how about we just celebrate who we already are? What […]
CAN YOU D.I.G. it, darling? Yes, you can. I start and end the year with my clients using my very own D.I.G. Method©. It’s simple, and it might just be a game-changer for you. Here it is: Make a list of all the things you’re not good at. Don’t be shy – let it rip. Make a looooong […]
Have you ever watched a series in English? Or a TV show? Or a movie? Bet you have. But…have you ever watched it with subtitles? In your own language? Yes? Ok. Please stop. Why? If you hear something in English, but you read something in another language, that creates a disconnect in your mind. Your ears hear one thing, […]
