About this episode

Interviews and presentations are always stressful but it takes another dimension when you have to do it in your second or third language. You may have the skills "in theory" and get by just fine in daily life conversations but you struggle with self-confidence issues when the stakes are higher.

In this episode, I explain some brain facts and share strategies to help you get ready for your big day. Number one advice? Start today and adopt a holistic approach. Listen to the episode to know what this entails (4 key points).

The French version is available in the next episode.
