Where do you want to be with your English 1 year from today?

Exactly one year ago, this was my situation:

I was a freelance teacher of English to adults, teaching at the British Council and a few prestigious universities, and I had private clients as well. Time was limited and I was spending most of my waking hours either teaching or planning lessons, while at the same time dreaming of building an English-learning business that would include a clear system to help clients genuinely transform their language skills.

For years, I had tried (and failed) to create several businesses, much like English learners try, and fail, to feel confident in English. 

Anyway, long story short: all my previous attempts bombed. They failed miserably.

But here's what I learnt from those experiences:

They didn't bomb because they weren't good ideas containing quality material. They were all great ideas!

They failed because I didn't know how to package my education, skills and understanding the right way. All that effort was doomed to fail from the start because I didn't prepare correctly for success.

Fast-forward to 1 year ago, and on Dec 14th 2020, I decided to invest in a programme that would teach me the exact steps I needed to take to create a successful online programme.

ET VOILÁ!

What can I say? I've learnt so much in this year! At last! I've gone from feeling like a hamster running mindlessly on a never-ending wheel leading nowhere, to calm and relaxed walks in the woods, leading to professional success, while enjoying the fresh air and trusting that the best is yet to come!

Today, exactly 1 year after giving myself the opportunity to prosper and thrive, my life has changed dramatically. Especially because I am now able to make a real positive contribution to clients' English, but also to their lives, and that makes me so happy.

Take Paz, for example. When she joined my programme, her knowledge of English was good, but she felt insecure and without a clear path that could lead her forward. She had reached a learning plateau and wasn't sure about how to proceed.

Look at what she says today!



My programme is designed to achieve the same for YOU: results in your English language development and skills, as well as increased confidence and fluency.

So, I invite you to pause for a moment and take a few deep breaths while you envision yourself one year from today. Where do you see yourself

  • personally
  • socially
  • professionally, and
  • financially?

This is the last opportunity you will have this year to join and spaces are limited for you to do something amazing for yourself and set the right conditions for 2022 to be the most extraordinary year yet!

Let's chat!

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr
