ここで防護スーツをぬいだら、免疫力のない空中帝国の人間は、ひとたまりもありません。
カンパネラは岩場に腰をおろし、地上5000メートルにある空中帝国を見上げました。
そのときでした。
.
「だれだ！」

ふりかえると、『森』の住人たちがならんでいました。
その中心に、赤毛の女が立っていました。
まちがいありません。あのときの女の子です。
「なにものじゃ！」
大男が大きな声をあげました。
.
赤毛の女は一歩まえに出て、いいます。
「森のものではなさそうね。なんの用かしら？」
.
カンパネラは とっさに言葉をかえします。
「キミに、あいにきたんだ」

「なにをいっているんだ」と　『森』の住人たちは にらみつけてきました。　
が、赤毛の女は顔色ひとつ変えません。
「ウソおっしゃい。外からきたものが どうして私をしっているの？」

カンパネラは 大きく息をすって　きもちをととのえ、こたえました。
「むかし、あの岩のうえで笛をふいてたろ？」
赤毛の女は目を丸くしました。

Why Should You Have a Tutor to Help You with Your English

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Executive Coach Terri Creeden! 

In the last episode, Terri talked about authenticity and vulnerability and how they can help people get a job and build meaningful relationships in the workplace. This time, we talk about being authentic in an interview and hear two stories about women who leaned into vulnerability and authenticity and how it helped them in their careers.

Here’s an excerpt from our conversation:

You're never gonna have it all, right? So she went (into the job interview) and said, “This is who I am. This is what I do. You can look at my track record. This is what I've done in the past. I love doing it, and I am the right person for this job.” And she got it!

" Клевета" А.П. Чехов 

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.
