Asynchronous learning is not only a mouthful, but also jargon that most people outside of teaching are unfamiliar with. So, I was wondering, what do you call asynchronous lessons when you are talking to learners?

It's unfortunate to see so many learners specifically requesting to learn with native English speaking teachers. It's not true of all learners, but a lot of them seem to have this misguided preference. Although, I wouldn't advertise myself as a NEST because it's just not important, I rarely call this out because I don't want to have a debate with learners before I've even started teaching them. So, my question for you guys is what responsibility should we bear, whatever your first language is, for arguing against this learner preference?

Did you catch the live @Leonardo Gomes and I did earlier today? We talked about imposter syndrome. Have you ever experienced it? Many people seem to perceive it as a negative. We look at it as a positive. That may sound strange, but hear us out. First, go watch the recording. Second, there is a lot of research suggesting the opposite. Justin Welsh likes to say he's never met an unsuccessful person who has imposter syndrome. Researcher Adam Grant shows why the syndrome happens and what it means for competence rather than actual confidence. He uses this formula: Competence > confidence = imposter syndrome Confidence > competence = arrogance So, if you have imposter syndrome, it's likely a benefit, or a symbol of something positive. It may also be connected - as we discussed - to your identify and what you really want for yourself. Check out our conversation and let me know your thoughts on this below. Takeaway: don't let it slow you down, but rather let it fuel your introspective work that makes external validation less important.

Hi! Quick question. Does the 5in30 offer have to be free? I understand why you suggest doing it for free, however, my intention was to give it to the 7 people in my membership for free (and ask for feedback) and offer it at a beta price (- 25-50%???) to the wider world in exchange for feedback. The course will be a gateway into my membership (includes 1 month's access with the hope they'll stay on - price of this is 12 euros a month) and not high ticket so a beta price would be low, 19 euros 🤔... I'm a bit tired of offering free stuff and paying to work 🤣 I need to start at least covering my costs 4 years in 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I've also had people in the past not sign up for free because they feel bad. And those that do are less invested as they didn't pay. Thanks! @Michael Landry @Andrew Woodbury @Leonardo Gomes

Hi guys, Do any of you specialise in working with professional students to help them to participate in meetings confidently? I have been teaching a Spanish lady who works in pharmaceutical marketing, but isn't really my niche. Let me know if you'd like me to pass your details on to her.
