"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.

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

在生日派对 At a birthday party（for beginner）

Nowadays, because of social media and pretty privilege, a lot of women feel the pressure of improving their looks to the extent of going under the knife. However, people don't talk about the dark side of plastic surgery which actually has more cons than pros long term. Some even die on the operating table or have irreversible side effects such as a distorted face or a badly bruised self esteem.
