Empowering Global Voices: The New Sound Scholarship Initiative

In this episode of the Influency Podcast, host Hadar shares an exciting development regarding her signature coaching program, New Sound. Recognizing that financial barriers often prevent dedicated students from accessing high-quality linguistic coaching, Hadar has officially launched a scholarship program to make her transformative curriculum more accessible to a global audience.

The Vision Behind New Sound

New Sound is a comprehensive 12-week program that goes beyond mere pronunciation drills. According to Hadar, the program focuses on "effective strategies and mindset," providing a "step-by-step plan" designed to help students "Transform Your English." With over 3,000 students having completed the course over the past few years, the program has consistently delivered "remarkable results" by fostering a supportive community and providing expert coaching.

Bridging the Accessibility Gap

Hadar emphasizes that her primary mission is to make her teaching "as accessible as possible." While she provides extensive free content, events, and resources through the Influency Academy app, she acknowledges that her signature program carries a "higher price point." By offering full scholarships to 10 individuals worldwide who "need this program" and "don't have the means to join," she aims to democratize the path to linguistic confidence.

Application Requirements and Process

The scholarship is open to applicants who meet specific criteria:

• Age: Applicants must be over 18.
• Availability: Participants must be available from September to December, the window during which the program runs.
• Technical Requirements: A "stable connection to the internet" is essential for participation.

The application process is designed to be personal and thorough. Candidates must fill out an application form, provide written responses, and submit a "short three-minute video." Hadar stresses the importance of authenticity in this process, urging applicants to "be as genuine as possible." The deadline for submissions is August 30th.

The Ultimate Purpose: Finding Your Voice

Crucially, Hadar clarifies that the goal of New Sound is not simply to help students achieve an American accent or improve basic comprehension—though these are "beautiful byproducts." Instead, the true purpose is to help students "feel like your voice matters," ensuring they are "heard" and can "express yourself fully."

Ultimately, Hadar believes that enhancing English skills and confidence allows individuals to "show up better in the world." By transforming their English, students are empowered to make a meaningful "change in their lives" and impact their surrounding communities.

For those interested in the program regardless of the scholarship, Hadar encourages listeners to join the waitlist to receive updates on when the doors officially open this September. This initiative represents a significant step forward in Hadar’s mission of "making your voice heard in English."
