제목: 주말에 한 일

지난 주말에 저는 친구들과 함께 서울 근처로 소풍을 갔어요. 날씨가 아주 맑고 따뜻해서 소풍 가기에 정말 좋았어요. 우리는 아침 일찍 지하철을 타고 한강공원으로 갔어요. 한강에는 사람들이 많았어요. 가족, 연인, 친구들이 모두 나와서 자전거를 타거나 돗자리를 펴고 쉬고 있었어요.

우리는 먼저 편의점에서 김밥, 과자, 음료수를 샀어요. 그리고 강 옆 잔디밭에 자리를 잡고 앉아서 이야기하며 점심을 먹었어요. 바람이 시원하게 불어서 기분이 아주 좋았어요.

점심을 먹은 후에 우리는 자전거를 빌려서 공원을 한 바퀴 돌았어요. 자전거를 타면서 강 위로 지나가는 배도 보고, 멀리 보이는 남산타워도 봤어요. 운동을 하니까 조금 힘들었지만, 오랜만에 친구들과 함께라서 즐거웠어요.

자전거를 반납한 후에는 근처 카페에 갔어요. 그곳에서는 커피와 케이크를 주문했어요. 창문 옆 자리에 앉아서 강을 보면서 커피를 마셨는데, 정말 여유로운 시간이었어요. 친구들과 사진도 많이 찍었어요.

해가 질 때쯤 우리는 집으로 돌아왔어요. 하루 종일 놀아서 피곤했지만 마음은 행복했어요. 다음 주말에도 친구들과 함께 소풍을 가고 싶어요.

Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.
