Hi, I’m Selina. I’m 40-something, happily married, a native Chinese speaker living in Belgium, and yes, I hold a degree in linguistics. But that’s not why I chose this path.

Before moving to Belgium, I spent years working as a Mandarin tutor while simultaneously navigating corporate life in Shanghai and Beijing for a decade.

Safe to say, I have survived enough high-stakes communications to know what actually works.

Back in my corporate days, I watched brilliant professionals completely lose their executive presence the moment they had to speak Mandarin. They had the intellect, but lacked the flow. So, I left the corporate ladder behind to fix this.

Put simply: my framework wasn’t built on academic theories alone. It was forged in the fires of real-life, high-pressure communication.
