The InFluency Podcast

210. Control


Listen Later

Do you find it hard to let go of control? In life? In your relationships? In your work? You might feel like it has nothing to do with your English but it does. Because we carry this need to be in control when we speak English.

What does that look like? – Not speaking before knowing exactly what you’re going to say – Not pronouncing words you’re uncertain of their pronunciation – Not using words you’re unsure of how to use them – Not speaking much to people you don’t know And more…

But in order to feel more freedom when speaking English, you have to give yourself room to grow and experiment and make mistakes. And that means letting go of control. And unfortunately, many English speakers as a second language don’t allow themselves that. In this episode, I share my own experience with holding on to and letting go of the need for control, and how it relates to perfectionism. Tune in and you’ll get to hear how I think you can let go a bit more and really be present in your English.
