Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about the unique strengths that non-native speakers bring to leadership roles, featuring a special guest, Sebastiano Armeli. Discover how being a non-native speaker can be your leadership superpower.

About Sebastiano's Journey

Sebastiano was already an expert in his field, but to become a truly impactful leader and public speaker, he needed to elevate his communication skills.

While his knowledge was solid, his storytelling lacked the depth and connection that captivates an audience

That’s where I stepped in.

While simultaneously refining his pronunciation and enhancing his fluency, I also helped Sebastiano unlock the ability to quickly identify his audience's needs and genuinely connect with them.

He mastered the art of crafting his message with precision, using a storytelling structure that transformed complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives.

The result?

Whether pitching ideas to top executives or commanding the stage at global conferences, Sebastiano now leads with unmatched clarity and confidence, turning every interaction into an opportunity to inspire and influence.
