There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from speaking a second language under pressure, then spending the rest of the day quietly punishing yourself for how it went. This month, we're looking at why perfectionism keeps you silent, and how to change your relationship with your own mistakes.

Making a mistake in English at work is not the problem. What happens in the seconds afterwards usually is. This month we are looking at recovery, not as something that happens to you, but as a skill you can build, one conversation at a time.

You had something to say. You just did not say it. If that feeling is familiar, this post is for you.

You prepare for the big meeting. You rehearse the presentation. And then someone in the corridor says, "How was your weekend?" and everything stops. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.
