Late last night, a new client in my Speak English Like a CEO program sent me her “homework” on WhatsApp.
Normally, I switch off from work after 10 p.m. But that night, I couldn’t sleep — my mind was buzzing.
“You know what — what’s one message?” I thought, unlocking my phone.
What I saw next made me sit up in bed.
The Backstory
This new client, Aloo, was referred to me by her sister Deepika — one of my current clients.
“Aloo’s English is actually really good — maybe even better than mine,” Deepika told me.
“But she’s been sick for years, and she’s only now starting to recover. She’s missed so much of life. Maybe your program can help her get back on track?”
I wasn’t sure how it would go, but I said yes.
When I met Aloo on Google Meet, it was clear: Deepika was right.
Aloo’s English was ahead of 95% of my usual clients.
But I quickly saw the real challenge wasn’t English.
Sometimes It’s Not About English — It’s About Confidence
“Do you think you can commit to the program?” I asked Aloo.
“Yeah, of course! I’m at home anyway,” she said, smiling faintly, but I recognized the look on her face.
Because two years ago, after my own business crashed and I had to move back in with my mom, I wore that exact same look.
In that moment, I realized: this was about more than English fluency.
This was about rebuilding confidence.
The Simple Exercise That Unlocked Her Potential
So I gave her a small, casual task:
“Could you send me a one-minute video of yourself, just talking about anything you like? It’s just to help you get comfortable speaking English on camera.”
Aloo agreed.
A few hours later, I opened her video — a short, unedited clip of her doing a makeup routine while casually chatting to the camera.
And my jaw dropped.
Hidden Talent, Waiting to Be Seen
Aloo had natural camera presence.
She knew instinctively how to pace her words, where to look, and when to smile —
and this was her first-ever time filming herself.
Watching her was like seeing a GenZ version of Indian megastar Sridevi on camera — raw, charming, unforgettable.
(I’ve been doing video content for five years, and honestly?
I don’t have half her confidence on camera.)
If I didn’t know this was Aloo, I would have assumed I was watching a YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers.
Why This Story Matters (and Why You’re Not as Behind as You Think)
Today, Aloo and I are working together to help her explore this talent — a gift she had no idea she possessed.
And you know what?
If she keeps showing up, I know she’ll go far.
But here’s the reason I’m sharing this story with you.
If you’re feeling behind in life…
If you feel like you’ve missed your chance…
If you feel like everyone else is ahead of you and you’re stuck in the same place…
Please remember:
People can already see your potential.
But very few will tell you what they see.
And even fewer will help guide you to unlock it.
Why Showing Up Matters — Even When You’re Scared
That’s why showing up matters — whether it’s joining a program, sending a video, or simply trying something new.
Yes, it’s scary when you know you’re not perfect yet.
Yes, it’s painful when others dismiss you.
But the more you show up, the greater your chances of meeting the right guide —
someone who can help you transform from hidden potential into unstoppable confidence.
