In 2022, I started "Native-Like fluency. The Community of Practice" for advanced learners who want to continue improving their communication skills in English.
It's a place for creative practice. Watch my process and use endless creative exercises to build your own practice routine.
In the Community of Practice, we don't learn English per se...
We PRACTICE to:
- explain in English
- build relationships in English
- read people and their intentions when they speak in English
- be curious about their culture
- understand jokes/metaphors
- tell stories in English
- communicate the gist of our ideas
- speak with clarity and precision
- inspire teams in English
- radiate presence when we speak in English
- eliminate old patterns that do not serve us any longer
- self-correct
Sign up and start your 14-day free trial to unlock all the exercises in the Community.
No credit card is needed to begin.
Regardless of whether you choose to stay and practice with us, please do share your feedback.
I'm building this to help advanced learners feel more empowered and more connected at the same time.
You can do so much!!! You have no idea how little encouragement people need sometimes to accomplish great things.
Join the community and learn to build YOUR creative practice routine.

⛳️ SPRINT! CLARITY. Level 1 - Precise wording | Native-Like Fluency. The Community of Practice
When we work on Clarity, we improve the way we articulate our own thoughts.

My message is simple: if you want to learn something, you need to organize your day in such a way that there is room for the exercises you need to do.
You need to know how much time YOU need to do the exercises.
You need to know how much time YOU need to complete the exercises.
You need to know WHICH exercises get you far, and WHICH exercises are absolutely useless for YOU.
Explore. Learn more about yourself and your learning style. Yes, it takes time.
And it always pays off.
You are responsible for the thoughts you are thinking. Your thoughts become your words and your actions.

"For centuries, religion has taught people to put others before themselves, to be selfless. In essence, to be a wounded healer. While healing another, you too shall heal yourself, thus praising healing through people. This is the neurosis of high empathy. High empathy is dangerous, as it can be socially offensive, enabling and causing trauma and chaos. Healing through others is not true healing.
On a spiritual, mental, emotional, physical level, you can not truly heal (guide others to heal) unless you yourself are healed. This takes depth of knowledge about yourself, deep psychological work & understanding, healing, empowering, and integration. Only when you have truly healed, you would be able to guide others if asked, by what worked for you as an individual, thus your advice may or may not be helpful to others. Only then, could you be an example to some, or many who resonate, only then can you show people doors to perceptions & consciousness, the keys you used, and your truth. Through your own personal journey you are able to truly storytell & guide by example.
That is true selflessness. True selflessness is self awareness. Healing is an intensely individual process before it’s a collective one, not the other way around. Healing from the inside out is true healing; it is not obscured by dangerous teachings of illusive collective oneness, idiotic scriptures, chaos, & deluded collective trauma ( “here, hold my baggage while I hold yours. Ok, wait, which one is mine & which one is yours?” Huh… doesn’t make much sense, does it?)
What do I mean by “baggage”? Baggage means unevolved aspects of human consciousness that are expressed through passive-aggressive manipulation, psychological projecting, & gaslighting. Baggage is essentially “mind control”, “mind games”, “mind trauma”. Taking on someone’s baggage does not mean listening or supporting someone through a difficult time; this is called “holding space” for someone, not taking on their “baggage” of psychological & emotional abuse."
