HOW TO SPEAK WITH CONFIDENCE WHEN ENGLISH ISN'T YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE

Overcoming the Fear of Making Mistakes

For many UAE professionals, English is a second language. While being multilingual is a strength, the fear of making mistakes in English can hold leaders back from speaking confidently. Here’s how to overcome those challenges and connect with your audience.

Tips For Confident Communication

Focus on Connection, Not Perfection

Your audience values your message more than perfect grammar. Focus on delivering clear, authentic, and impactful ideas rather than worrying about minor language errors.

Practice Breathing Techniques

Nervousness can affect your tone and pacing. Practice slow, deep breathing before speaking to calm your nerves and project confidence.

Engage With Your Audience

Ask questions or share personal stories. Engagement shifts the focus from your language mistakes to your ability to connect on a deeper level.
