Episode 248: EwK248 - How much of your personality comes through when you’re speaking English?

Our voices are so much more than the way we speak. This is part of it, but finding and using our unique voice is about more than that. It’s about expressing who we are, what we think, how we feel, and the messages that we want to share.Every day, we play different roles and adopt different communication styles depending on what we’re doing and whom we’re with. That’s normal.But sometimes, the version of ourselves that people meet when we’re using an dditional language is not 100% who we are and this can make it harder for us to communicate and for others to get to know us.Today I’m talking about a couple of reasons for this – and they’re not all entirely language-related. I also talk about a short exercise that you can do to find out where your blockages might be.If you’re a freelancer or business owner who uses English as an additional language and you’d like to explore this in more detail, I’m offering a new 11-week mentoring programme called "Discover your voice in English." https://englishwithkirsty.com/discover-your-voice-in-english/Send me a message at [email protected] if you have any questions about this programme or if you’d like to set up a call to discover whether it’s right for you.
