-
- Entrepreneurship
In this episode, Jeannette talks about turning your accent into your superpower. She explains how, at one stage, she felt self-conscious about her own accent and how she came to understand that having a distinctive accent was in fact an advantage. Something she could leverage and benefit from, which is exactly what you can do with your own accent using the tips Jeannette shares.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Regardless of what you do people are going to judge you because of your accent.
You can´t stop people from judging you. However, you can decide whether you are going to let what they may be thinking hold you back.
An accent is one way to stand out from the crowd.
Never be afraid to be yourself.
Be proud of where you are from, and your background. It is part of what makes you unique and therefore valuable.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You are going to be judged anyway regardless, so when it comes to accent, it's time to embrace it. ´
‘If you change your approach and say, no, actually, I'm proud of where I'm from, I'm proud of my background, I am who I am, then straight away, you are immediately on a winning track.’
