People who need better English to build a better career find solutions in the wrong places. They give all their power away to "experts". English teachers don't know business. Business coaches can't teach English.
It's a double-edged sword.
The solution that has worked for me is to stop looking for people I can pay to solve my problems, and to learn to solve them myself. Instead of "service providers", I looked for teachers who could help me learn.
If you want to do business or advance your career in English, you need to learn to build relationships with people who speak a different language. There is no textbook on that. There's no school for that. There are no exams and no experts who will certify you.
There is YOUR ability to learn, which you can harness, protect, and develop.
Everybody knows that they need to practice. People know what they should be doing. Knowing it is easy. Doing it is hard.
It's hard not only because you don't have the stamina or the discipline, but because there's so much to do....that you have no idea where to begin and how to continue doing something meaningful every day.
People don't know what to do and so they wait...
They hide...
They miss opportunities.
They consume information, but don't implement it.
They don't get better and so they hide again...
There is no online course that will teach you to become YOU.
You need to practice daily to get even a little better. The more you prcatice, the more you understand what practice means. The more you understand, the more you can do yourself.
You do not need an online course every 6 months. Yo do not need an English teacher twice a week for the rest of your life. You don't need to wait for a relocation package. You can learn to continuously improve your English on your own and achieve extraordinary results in the most ordinary conditions. When the time comes, you'll be ready.
When you can learn fast, when you don't depend on what people say, do, or sell, you become unstopabble.
My Native-Like Fluency program is for people who want to improve their English communication skills and learn to practice effectively by themselves. There was no school for me. I created it. There was no teacher for me. I became the teacher that I needed.
I will teach you the exercises and practices that will take your learning skills to a new level, and I will be there for you as you practice doing each exercise correctly.
The most precious element of this program is feedback from myself and other coaches who want you to succeed and create a lasting change with the right practice. We all know that practice doesn't make perfect:) Only perfect practice makes perfect.
Many practice the wrong things the wrong way. They repeat what they know instead of creating a new norm and living up to their own standards.
You don't have to continue this cycle. Learn a new one.

They said in it 2016 in Harvard.
Socrates said it 2000 years ago.
And yet, as people we have made very little progress with practice.
Undertanding something intellectually is not enough to possess a skill.
Knowing what Past Perfect is does not make you a good storyteller (you primarily need this tense to tell storis from a distant past). You need to practice it. When you stop practicing, you become the person who doesn't practice the skill, i.e. the person who doesn't have the skill.
It's that simple.
