It is a painful irony: you are technically excellent, you have a proven track record, and you’ve earned your seat, but the moment you enter an unfamiliar professional culture or a more senior global room, you start sounding less clear than you actually are.
This is the phenomenon of being "Badly Translated." When high-performers move into global teams (like my clients at Netflix APAC) or competitive international interviews, they often default to tactical, deferential, or over-explanatory habits that make them appear more junior than they are. This livestream is about reclaiming your signal. We will break down why your experience isn't landing and how to shift from sharing information to demonstrating judgment.
By the end of this livestream, you will be able to:
1. Spot the Deferential Trap: Identify the specific linguistic and behavioral habits that make you sound like an executor rather than a peer in senior meetings.
2. Master Recommendation Language: Move beyond just asking questions or providing updates to using the phrasing that senior leaders use to direct attention.
3. Shift from Biography to Positioning: Reframe your self-introduction so that it highlights your judgment and impact rather than just a list of tasks you’ve performed.
4. Audit Your Visibility: Understand the Invisible High-Performer pattern and how to enter a conversation early enough to help define the question, not just answer it.
Outcomes
1. The Senior Signal Toolkit: A set of 5 specific entry-lines and phrases you can use in your next global meeting to sound more strategic.
2. Interview Re-Framing: A new way to answer "Tell me about yourself" that stops being a history lesson and starts being a value proposition.
3. Confidence Audit: A personal diagnostic to see where your meeting confidence is dropping and whether the gap is lack of knowledge or a habit of seeking permission.
