Executive Communication Masterclass for Bilingual Leaders
You've built the career, and you have the credentials. So why does speaking up still feel like the hardest part?
The Permission to Speak Practice™
From Invisible to Impactful in 60 minutes
with Mariana & Graciela Atencio
Wednesday April 29th at 7:00 p.m. EST | Via Zoom
You walked into that meeting prepared.
You knew exactly what you wanted to say.
And somehow, someone else said it. Or you said it and the room moved on like they hadn't heard you.
You know your material, that was never the problem.
What no one ever taught you is how to make it land — so the room listens, and the right people finally value what you bring to every conversation that counts.
Most communication training teaches you what to say. But no one teaches you how to communicate with authority:
-
When the stakes are high
-
When the language isn't your first, and
-
When the voice in your head is telling you that you don't belong there
In today's world, that gap is the difference between being overlooked and being trusted as the leader you already are.
No matter how qualified you are if your voice
doesn't carry the weight of your expertise, you won't get the
visibility, the opportunities, or the recognition you've earned.
In this 60-minute masterclass, you'll discover:
Why you're not "bad at this". Powerful communication is a skill, not a talent you're born wit.
The 3 invisible mistakes silently undermining your authority right now, and how to stop making them.
Your first look at the VIP Framework™, a simple formula for structuring any business point so it lands the first time you say it.
Why this keeps happening. The hidden patterns that keep you overlooked in meetings and second-guessing yourself in the moments that count most.
SAVE YOUR SEAT
This masterclass is for you if:
-
You know what you want to say. Getting your team, or senior leadership to feel it is the part that's not working.
-
You've been speaking in high-stakes situations for years, and you're still not sure your message is landing the way it should.
-
Your accent feels like a liability at the table, when you know it should feel like the edge it actually is.
-
You're tired of holding yourself back, and watching less-qualified people get the floor, the promotions, and the visibility.
-
You know you’ve got the expertise. And you're ready for your voice to finally show it.
This isn't ESL training or grammar coaching. This is for professionals who already operate at a high level, and want their voice to match it.

"YOU GAVE ME SO MUCH CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE"
"Working with you feels like having two advocates rooting for me, and helping me bring my vision to life.
While waiting to go on stage I found myself thinking about our conversation... and how grateful I am to the both of you!
This wouldn't have happened without our preparation.
Thank you again for the coaching and guidance, it gave me so much clarity and confidence going on stage.
I felt more prepared, more grounded, and I really saw the difference."
Diana Hinojosa, SVP of Recruitment at LevelUPHCS
WHAT YOU TEACH GOES BEYOND IMPROVING HOW YOU SPEAK.
It’s about self-confidence and empowerment. In my 20s, I was very confident. But then things happened in life, and I lost that confidence. You really took me back to where I was before.
Emired Melean, Defense Contractor Corp. Employee Relation Business Partner
YOU GIVE SUCH A DEEP INSIGHT INTO YOUR SPEAKING WORLD.
I lacked structure and clarity. I do videos and podcasts, and sometimes I get lost trying to incorporate storytelling and facts. When you introduced these concepts I thought, 'That's exactly what I need.'

“YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE AND A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF”
"Look, well, I think the changes are noticeable, right? On a professional level, not only have you taught me to improve in front of the camera, but you have given me that vote of confidence with myself, which is really the most important thing, right? I mean, you believe in me, and you have made me reinforce that belief that I have in me that I can do it. And that is very important. I think this plan, this session with you is wonderful.
I have always believed that I have that facility to express myself in public, but obviously the techniques, the pauses, the focus on the camera, the lighting, the background, everything counts a lot. So I thank you very much for that time you have invested in me. This is not going to stay here, I am going to continue. Thank you so much for this great opportunity to let me belong to the exclusive group of executives to which you train to continue to grow in life.”
Sergio Villalobos, CEO and Founder of Around the Clock USA, Inc.
