Welcome to You Belong In The Room, the monthly newsletter where I share tips, insights, and resources to inspire you to polish your speech so you can reach your English-speaking dreams.
Eloquence and confidence in a second language can be tricky. Just because you speak English as a second language fluently doesn't mean you always feel like you show up in the room as your complete self. That's why I started the You Belong In The Room Newsletter. In this month's edition, I'll give you an inside look at The Diamond Method's?? 9 essential communication principles that every speaker can live by. I'm sure there's something here for you that can advance your spoken English.
In each month's newsletter, you'll also find strategic resources, learning opportunities, and important announcements you may be interested in.
And now...You Belong In The Room Newsletter, Edition 3.
9 Communication Principles To Live By
I visited a friend of mine recently who I haven't seen in 22 years.
That doesn't make me old, does it ?? ?
Well, I spent four days with this friend, Lori, catching up, and like women know how to do, we talked non-stop.
Lori and I met at a healing arts school in California and she went on to be a masseuse while I went on to be a communication skills coach.
We bonded since we both have Pisces, Virgo, and Aries in our Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.
If I lost you on astrology, stay with me. It's fun!
Lori understands astrology and she remembers people's astrological charts. Me? Well, I think it's interesting and it's something that can keep my attention ??.
Pretty soon after we first reunited, Lori started talking about my planets, the houses they were in at my time of birth, and how my journey, since we met, is reflected in my chart.
So, on Saturday afternoon, she whipped out my chart and started affirming many of the things she was saying.
Here's the one that I want to share with you.
"I've got a unique and individual way of communicating with a very clear mental way of guiding people." So, it makes sense that communication is my raison d'être (reason to live).
And it is.
I love being thoughtful and skillful with everyone I speak with.
?? It can be ironing out a difference with my dad
?? Explaining something to my husband who speaks English as a second language
?? Helping a friend overcome a challenging time
?? Or, guiding people like you in the advancement of YOUR communication skills in English
So, since strong communication skills are my north star ??, I wanted to make sure you knew about the release of my latest blog post Conquering Communication: 9 Essential Principles For Effective Business English.
In the post, I give you an inside look at the 9 communication principles behind The Diamond Method?? and offer you suggestions for trying them out.
No astrology there...just the speaking skills you'll need to succeed with your English.

He's a brilliant marketing professional who unites story, talent, and culture to get ahead of tomorrow.
And back in 2002, he made that Edith ad you see above on the right. It landed me one of my all-time, longest-running pharmaceutical clients and I am forever grateful for his creativity and branding sensibility.
Well, he's come together with two equally talented professionals to create This Is Antidote and they're transforming how corporations create learning development programs.
