Where Is Your English Holding Back Your Executive Performance?

10 honest questions. Instant results. No email required. Built specifically for directors and executives.

This is not a grammar test. It is an executive performance audit. It will show you exactly where the gap between your professional capability and your English communication is costing you — in the boardroom, in negotiations, in your career.

The Executive English Audit

Answer honestly. There are no wrong answers — only useful ones.

1. Do you simplify your ideas in English meetings because you are not confident expressing them with full authority?

2. Do you contribute less in English-language meetings than you would in your native language?

3. Do you over-prepare for English presentations because you are compensating for language confidence?

4. Do you feel your English presentations do not reflect the quality of your thinking?

5. Do you feel at a disadvantage in negotiations with native English speakers?

6. Do you find it harder to persuade and influence in English than in your native language?

7. Do you feel your English does not project the authority your position demands?

8. Have you noticed that your executive presence diminishes when you switch to English?

9. Do you believe your English has held back a promotion or senior opportunity in the last two years?

10. Do you feel less like the executive you are when you are speaking English?

Your Executive English Audit Results

Strong Executive Foundation

Your English Is Working — But the Edge Is Still There to Gain.

Score: out of 10

Your English is not holding you back in the ways it holds back many executives at your level. That is a genuine advantage. But at the top, the difference between good and exceptional is rarely dramatic — it is precise. The executives who command rooms, close negotiations, and lead with authority in English are not just fluent. They are precise, confident, and deliberate in every word they choose.

Precision coaching at this level is about sharpening the edge — the exact vocabulary that signals seniority, the structures that project authority, the NLP-influenced techniques that ensure you show up at your best in every high-stakes situation. If you are performing at this level, you already know that marginal gains at the top are not marginal at all.

Significant Gap Identified

Your English Is Costing You Executive Presence and Career Opportunities.

Score: out of 10

The audit has identified a significant gap between your professional capability and how you come across in English. This is not a language problem in the traditional sense — you are not a beginner. You are a high performer who knows something is missing. And that gap is costing you in the rooms that matter most.

In meetings, in negotiations, in presentations — there are moments where your English is not matching your thinking. Where you are simplifying ideas, holding back contributions, or feeling at a disadvantage against native speakers who use language as a tool. This is exactly the gap Richard's coaching is designed to close — working on both the language precision and the confidence and mindset that sit behind it.

A free executive discovery call will give you a precise picture of where the gap is and what it would take to close it.

Critical Impact

Your English Is Significantly Undermining Your Executive Performance. It Is Time to Act.

Score: out of 10

The audit is clear. Your English is not just an inconvenience — it is actively costing you. In the boardroom, in negotiations, in your career trajectory. You are operating at a level where the gap between who you are and how you come across in English is having a measurable impact on your performance, your influence, and your opportunities.

This is not about grammar. It is about confidence, identity, and the state you access when English is the language in the room. You know what you want to say. The problem is how English makes you feel about yourself when you say it. That is exactly what Richard's NLP-influenced executive coaching addresses — not just the language, but the psychology behind it.

The executives who act on this audit are the ones who close the gap. The ones who do not continue to watch less experienced colleagues advance because they communicate with more confidence in English. Book your discovery call today.
