Speak Up and Stand Out: A Quick e-Guide for Non-Native Professionals Who Want to Be Heard, Respected, and Remembered in English Meetings
You don’t need another English course.
You need to know what to say — and how to say it — when it actually matters.
Meetings. Updates. Interviews.
Where it’s not just about speaking English — it’s about being seen, heard, and trusted.
If you’ve ever:
- Stayed quiet in meetings even though you had something to say
- Frozen because your brain was still translating
- Lost your chance to contribute because the conversation moved too fast
- Worried people think you’re not smart — when really, you’re just not fluent (yet)
…then this guide was written for you.
Why This Guide Works
This isn’t theory. It’s a system.
You’ll learn:
- What to do before, during, and after a meeting to speak with more clarity and confidence
- How to contribute, even if you don’t have perfect grammar or advanced vocabulary
- What to say when you’re nervous, unsure, or put on the spot
- How to sound clear and credible — even if English isn’t your first, second, or third language
- The exact English phrases, templates, and techniques that professionals actually use in real meetings
Plus: A cheat sheet you can literally keep next to your laptop — ready to go when the meeting starts.
Why You Can Trust Me
I’m not a native speaker.
I’m not a language teacher from London or New York.
I’m an Indonesian woman who built a global career in English from scratch.
I’m now the only Asian in the management team of a fully remote U.S. tech company. I’ve spent the last 12+ years working in HR, recruitment, and leadership — running interviews, leading strategy meetings, and coaching professionals from around the world to perform confidently in English-speaking environments.
I also hold an SHRM-SCP, one of the top global certifications in Human Resources.
I’ve coached developers, doctors, HR leads, marketers, and supply chain managers — from Thailand, France, Korea, Poland, China, Russia, and more — all with one shared challenge:
They knew their field.
But they didn’t always know how to speak about it in English.
That’s what I help them fix.
