You have been in that meeting.
A critical decision is being made. You have a real perspective on it. You reach for the words in English and the conversation moves on. The moment closes. And you stay quiet, not because you had nothing to say, but because the cost of saying it imperfectly felt too high.
In this episode, Tannia names something that most high-performing international executives have been carrying privately for years: the translation gap.
The translation gap is not a language problem. It is the distance between who you know yourself to be and who the room gets to experience. And it does not respond to more language study.
--------
In this episode:
✅ Why the most capable people in the room go the quietest, and why that is not a coincidence.
✅ The three-layer cost that most executives underestimate: before the meeting, during it, and in the private debrief no one else sees.
✅ Why fluency and leadership presence are two completely different skills.
✅ What actually shifts when executives close this gap at the level it actually operates, which is identity, not language.

If you have ever walked out of a high-stakes meeting knowing you had more to offer than the room got to see, this episode is for you.
You have done the hard work to get into the room. Let's make sure the room knows you are there.
