  1. 1 DAY AGO

    [Snack] I'm Back. And Here's the Real Reason Why

    After two months of silence, Leonilda Renaldo returns with the real reason she went quiet — not the polished version, the honest one. Eight years ago she had a dream: to speak at a TEDx event about the most powerful leadership tool she knows. Not artificial intelligence. Authentic intelligence — the ability to show up fully, without performing, without shrinking, in any room, in any language. This month, that dream became real. In this episode Leonilda shares what those eight years taught her, what the TEDx stage confirmed, and why every French-speaking professional trying to close the gap between who they are in French and who they show up as in English is doing their own version of the same journey. This is not a language problem. It is a leadership competence. And it can be built. YOUR ONE ACTION FROM THIS EPISODE Think of one moment this week where you held back in English — where you said the shorter, safer version of what you really meant. Say the full version out loud today. That gap is your work. This season, we close it together. FREE RESOURCE Download the 14-Day English Leadership Drill — free, 5 minutes a day, built around the leadership scenarios where that gap costs you the most. WORK WITH LEONILDA Ready to go further?

    [MasterClass] Don't Get an "A" in English, Get Four of Them

    Don't just get an A in English. Get four. If you've ever held back in a meeting, stumbled over your words on a call, or felt like your ideas weren't landing the way they should — this episode is for you. It's not about being perfect. It's about being purposeful. Leonilda Renaldo is breaking down the exact framework she uses with aspiring leaders to transform the way they show up in English. No more memorising random vocabulary. No more hoping you'll "get better." This is strategic. This is intentional. And it works. 🔑 The Four A's in LeoDynamic's Boardroom English® Method: ASSESS — Stop guessing. Get clear on who you need to communicate with, what you need to say, and why. Are you trying to inspire? Inform? Influence? That answer changes everything. ANCHOR — Small actions become habits. Habits become behaviours. Behaviours become your personality. We're talking micro-actions that stack up and make impactful English communication automatic. ADJUST — Communication isn't a monologue. It's a dance. "It takes two to tango," and in this episode Leonilda breaks down exactly how to flex, adapt, and flow with whoever is in front of you. ACQUIRE — This is where it all clicks. You stop imitating. You stop hiding. You embrace your imperfections and step into the kind of autonomy that makes you unstoppable. 💬 The line you need to hear: "You're not aiming to hide your imperfections. You're embracing them and heading towards excellence." 📌 Also in this episode: • Why English should be a tool, not an objective: Tune into this client story episode • How to ask for clarity without sounding lost • Everything you need to know about The Booster — the 5-week intensive starting March 3rd 🔗 Connect with Leonilda: [Linkedin] [Instagram] [WEBSITE] Your homework: Rate and review this episode or showSubscribe to the show so you don't miss any of our episodesSign up to our newsletter for events If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's been holding back.
