Break the Accent Barrier and Lead Confidently in English
Even in today’s global economy, bias still exists. Executives with non-native accents are 16% less likely to be promoted and 23% less likely to secure funding.
That statistic highlights a real glass ceiling, one that many talented leaders face simply because of how they speak.
Yet the story doesn’t end there.
More than 11% of Fortune 500 CEOs are foreign-born, proving that vision and bold leadership overcomes accent bias.
These leaders leverage their unique cultural insights to innovate, connect diverse teams, and drive results on the world stage.
That’s exactly why tailored executive communication coaching matters.
When you work with someone who understands how language and culture shape your leadership style, you’ll build the confidence, clarity, and connection you need to rise above bias.
In this webinar, I break down 3 actionable strategies to help non-native English speakers build confidence, communicate with clarity and connect with colleagues and peers in any leadership role.
Whether you're looking to improve your professional influence, make your ideas heard, or just connect better with your team, these tips will set you on the path to success.
