"Internal viruses" that is killing your communication skiills at work

The term “internal virus” is a metaphorical way of describing negative thought patterns, habits, and beliefs that undermine your ability to communicate effectively in a professional setting. 
These “viruses” operate internally, sabotaging your confidence, clarity, and ability to connect with others.


Do you have those?

Fear of Judgment:

Symptoms: Hesitation to speak up in meetings, avoiding difficult conversations, censoring your ideas, worrying excessively about what others think.

Antidote: Challenge negative thoughts, focus on the value you bring to the table, remember that everyone makes mistakes.

Imposter Syndrome:

Symptoms: Feeling like a fraud, doubting your abilities, attributing successes to luck, constantly comparing yourself to others.

Antidote: Acknowledge your accomplishments, focus on your strengths, remember that everyone has weaknesses, challenge your negative self-talk.

Perfectionism:

Symptoms: Overthinking your communication, spending too much time crafting emails or presentations, getting paralyzed by the fear of making mistakes.

Antidote: Accept that “good enough” is often good enough, prioritize progress over perfection, focus on the overall message rather than minor details.

By identifying and addressing these “internal viruses,” in my 1-1 VIP coaching classes you can unlock your communication potential and achieve greater success in your career and your relationships.

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#36 Japanese culture / 日本の温泉の歴史《The history of Onsen (Hot Springs) in Japan》 // N3 Level /Japanese listening

NATASHA: What time is it? We’re going to be late!
TONY: It’s a quarter after seven. We’re on time. Don’t panic.
NATASHA: But I thought we had to be at the restaurant by 7:30 for 
the surprise party. We’ll never make it there with all this 
evening traffic.
TONY: Sure we will. Rush hour is almost over. Anyway, the party 
starts at 8:00. But I do need help with directions. Can you 
call the restaurant and ask them where we park our car?




LANGUAGE NOTES
• It’s a quarter after seven. This phrase is one of the most common ways of stating 
this time. It means: “It’s 15 minutes past 7:00.” Another possibility here is to simply 
say: “It’s seven fifteen.” In general you can say: “It’s a quarter past the hour.” How do 
we know the time of day? Look for context clues: “evening traffic.”
• In the dialog, Natasha and Tony are going to a surprise party. They need to be on time. 
Therefore there is an element of stress and urgency. When someone is stressed for 
time you can use expressions like: Don’t worry. / Don’t stress. / We’re fine. / We will 
be on time.
• Natasha thinks the surprise party begins at 7:30. There are two different ways to 
express this time. You may say simply “seven thirty” or “half past seven.”
• Rush hour is the time of day—usually in the morning and evening—when traffic is 
heavy because of people commuting to and from their workplace by bus, by car, by 
subway, on foot, etc.

100 Questions in Swedish

For the next 6+ episodes we're going to be going into details about Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions. This research changed my life when I first learned about it over 10 years ago, giving me a true sense of what culture is, and what the subtle differences in culture are between countries at the fundamental level. More than just knowing that one country or culture does something 'this' way and another does it 'that' way, learning about Hofstede's dimensions can help you to truly understand the WHY.

3 Chinese single girls are talking about why they are here now

Blabla Chinese 

02. Why Do You Remain Single? 你为什么单身?

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

前几日我喺得到听到一篇好好嘅文章，
所以同你分享一下。

呢篇文章系关于创业嘅，
不过我觉得无论你对创业有冇兴趣，
呢篇文章都好有启发性，
下面我会用广东话复述呢篇文章。 

如果你想创业，
咁就要了解一个不成文嘅创业标准，
就系1000个粉丝。
意思系一个新产品只有积累咗1000个用户，
先算系站稳咗脚跟。 

点解系1000个粉丝呢？
呢个理论其实系嚟自凯文凯利嘅《技术元素》。
凯文凯利系一个好犀利嘅人，
佢喺另一本书《失控》入面预言过网络时代嘅到嚟，
乔布斯亦都曾经喺斯坦福大学嘅演讲入面提及过佢，
乔布斯话佢嘅佢嘅杂志《连线》系佢嗰个时代嘅圣经。

讲翻转头哈，
点解系1000个粉丝呢？
呢个理论系凯文凯利提出嚟嘅，
理论系，
如果你有1000个优质粉丝，
假设每个粉丝每年喺你身上消费100美金，
咁你每年就有10万美金嘅收益，
一般就足够活落去。

呢个1000个粉丝嘅标准，
我喺Youtube都睇到咗，
YouTube会将自己嘅广告收益分俾上传视频嘅人，
但系要求频道要有至少1000个粉丝。
所以1000个粉丝就系获得收益嘅标准。

到底用乜嘢方法先可以拉到 1000个用户呢？
呢篇文章总结咗三个方法，
第一个方法系：
揾啱地方捞鱼。
意思系你要揾到目标用户聚集嘅地方。
创业公司首先要搞清楚边度先系目标用户聚集嘅地方，
跟住去拉用户。

国外有一个交友软件叫Tinder，
同国内嘅陌陌差唔多。
佢啱啱创立嗰时，
选择咗去大学校园揾用户，
点解要去大学？
因为大学单身嘅人多，
而且佢哋都系拍拖嘅年纪。
Tinder喺大学校园非常受欢迎，
好快就获得咗一大批嘅用户。

打车软件Lyft都系揾啱咗地方，
所以获得咗一大批用户。
佢哋去边度稳用户？
创业公司所在地。
Lyft揾咗创业公司嘅地址，
跟住叫员工免费送雪糕俾佢哋，
再顺便发咗Lyft嘅打车优惠码俾佢哋。
后来呢啲食咗雪糕嘅员工就称为咗Lyft嘅第一批用户。

除咗线下，
都有啲创业公司喺线上揾到咗第一批用户，
好似Netflix，
Netflix请咗一个学生，
扮成电影发烧友，
潜入咗电影论坛，
佢先通站长、版主、活跃用户搞好关系，
跟住在随住时间推移，
揾机会唔经意咁提起有一个叫Netflix嘅新网站，
跟住就帮Netflix拉咗一大班高质量嘅用户。

下面再讲吓第二个快速积累用户嘅方法，
加心理杠杆。
乜嘢叫心理杠杆？
就系利用心理因素，
对用户施加影响。
最常用嘅心理杠杆系“朋友推荐”。
好似Pinterest同Quara啱啱成立嗰时，
都用咗呢个方法。


第三个方法就系借用影响力。
意思系揾大V或者名人帮你宣传。

我觉得呢个方法好有效，
亦都系常见嘅方法。
宜家如果你睇公众号，
你都可以睇到公众号之间嘅互相推荐，
其实呢个方法几好，
可以互相积累粉丝。

我呢个公众号仲好细，
如果有大V觉得唔错，
想帮我宣传一下，
我肯定会好感激你。

除咗揾大V同名人之外，
仲有一种方法，
就系跟紧新闻事件。
写同新闻热点相关嘅文章，
因为同热点相关嘅文章比较容易俾人睇到，
所以如果你有订阅公众号，
你就会发现有好多人都会跟热点写文章，
呢个系快速积累用户嘅好方法。

以上就系快速积累前1000个用户嘅方法啦。
