Discover your 5 Layers of Impact & become a mindful and confident communicator
This is a powerful 6-week-long coaching programme with a mentoring twist. It consists of 6 one-to-one sessions to get you on track, help you gain confidence and find clarity with how you communicate as a leader and a non-native English speaker.
Learn how to make an impact with your communication by identifying and improving your 5 Layers of Impact through mindfulness.
Does any of these sound familiar?
I know how frustrating it is when…
- You struggle with your messaging and communication because fear is keeping you back from getting their message across (in English or any other language)
- You are a good communicator but only in your native language (thus struggling if the main communication language at work is English)
- You have a high level of English but lack the confidence to become a great communicator and leader
Things can be different.
Imagine communicating as a leader with clarity, confidence, and empathy with no mental saboteurs or linguistic blockages (as a non-native English speaker) getting your way.
This is how you could make a true impact. However, that needs intentional practice and the right guidance.
This is exactly where Mindful Communication comes into play. You don’t have to change, be or feel like someone else when you communicate your message, no matter the purpose, audience, or language.
#Mindfulness can help you be yourself, communicate with grace, and let your personality and talent shine.
For this, you must know who you are, be aligned with your core values, and be confident enough to craft and express your message with words that make an impact in any situation, at work or beyond. That is true #leadership.
Your 5 Layers of Impact
Throughout my years of coaching, I’ve identified 5 distinct layers of impact in communication for leaders.
It’s like an onion. You peel off one layer at a time until you reach the core, and the result is so rewarding.
Mindful communication works similarly: the innermost layer (mindset) is the most crucial success factor, but you need to go through the outer layers, too, to unveil the magic and power.
Layer 1 – Mindset
- Fixing your mindset is key and the first step towards mindful communication and leadership. Here, we explore, identify and debunk your self-blockages (psychological & linguistic) so that you quiet them and activate the positive part of your brain with a more mindful approach.
Layer 2 – Self-awareness
- Knowing who you are and what you stand for is key to crafting a message that speaks volumes. Here, we reflect and crystallise your core values in your head and words. That’s how you can achieve the desired level of authenticity and reach a breakthrough.
Layer 3 – Messaging
- Knowing what to say is crucial for signalling the right vibes to the people you lead. Here, we focus on clarity and craft your messaging at the high level as a person and leader and at the more transactional everyday level when you have to speak on a 1-to-1 basis or to an audience, no matter how big or small.
Layer 4 – Communication
- Your message and words are now clear and powerful, but you need to learn how to externalise them appropriately (how to say what you have to say and when). Here, we mindfully work on your communication skills and style from both a linguistic and psychological point of view, with a focus on confidence, kindness, and empathy.
Layer 5 – Resilience
- Learning to handle and navigate adversity and change is the last but equally important layer. Here, we focus on how you can cope with challenges when you communicate your message (no matter how prepared you are), recover quickly and bounce back. It may be about handling negative feedback, expressing disagreement, or negotiating on complex terms, to name a few challenges.
How you can benefit
Get the support you need and be aligned with your message and any linguistic challenge as non-native English leader.
The way you speak, select the words, make your point across define you as a leader and as a person at the same time.
What if you know what you want to say but you feel stuck because English isn’t your first language? And what if you have good English but still you feel the lack of power behind your words?
– Learn how to delegate without sounding pushy or rude
– Learn how to get the answers or information you need during meetings and don’t waste precious time
– Learn how to balance your thoughts and reactions when under pressure
– Learn to lead through the way you speak and interact with others without being defined by your title
These are just a few examples of how the 5 Layers of Impact, spread over 6 sessions, can benefit you.
We will focus on your challenges based on real case scenarios at work and your agenda for practice and a long-lasting impact.
