Lost Your Words? You’re Not Alone

Have you ever frozen during an important moment?

Last week, one of my clients shared a story that broke my heart. During an important job interview, when asked about her motivation for the position, she completely froze.

This happens more often than you think. In fact, I’ve seen it countless times:

• Experts losing words mid-conversation
• CEOs stumbling during presentations
• Managers going blank in meetings
  

The truth is, English anxiety doesn’t discriminate. It hits everyone, regardless of their position or experience level.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

• Everyone has been there
• They’re opportunities for growth
• These moments don’t define you
  

When my client came back for coaching, we worked on simple, powerful responses. We practised until she felt a lot more confident.

Two weeks later? The second interview? A completely different story. She got the job!

Why am I sharing this story with you? Because right now, someone reading this might be feeling the same way. Thinking they’re the only one struggling.

You’re not alone in this. Not at all.

Have you experienced anything similar? 

P.S. Remember: It’s not about never freezing – it’s about how you bounce back.
