Today we're talking about a word that you likely know, but maybe don't use to its full potential. That word is fair. I hope you find this podcast useful.

Episode 3 is all about how to practice speaking when you're alone. Here I break everything down into 2 main parts. The first is how you're going to do your practice and the second is exactly what you'll be saying. So many people I work with can see the value of practicing speaking English when they're alone, but unlike reading, listening, and writing, the best way to do this doesn't always seem so clear. We'll also talk a little bit about habit building, although I have a full episode on that coming up! So subscribe, grab a coffee, and let's talk about speaking practice!

PODCAST: LOS ARGENTINOS, LA “LL” Y LA “Y”. 

La Ciudad de Buenos Aires es una ciudad llena de cultura. Quienes ya la conocen y han recorrido sus calles, habrán transitado por la famosa Avenida de Mayo, una de las más anchas del mundo.  

Con la llegada de la primavera florecen los bellos Jacarandás, tiñendo de azul violáceo la ciudad.  

Existen amplios parques, donde la gente practica yoga, lleva su yerba mate y disfruta lejos del bullicio del tráfico. 

La ciudad también ofrece recorridos interesantes para los días de lluvia. Folleto en mano, pueden visitarse numerosos museos, llamativos sitios históricos, librerías y cafés. 

En Buenos Aires existe una maravillosa oferta gastronómica, con parrillas al aire libre y atrayentes shows de tango para un público mayoritariamente extranjero.   


Espero que te haya gustado esta información y te invito a descubrir más sobre los argentinos en las próximas ocasiones.

Los argentinos, la "LL" y la "Y"

My client Sara joined our meeting very stressed out; frustration etched on her face. Her new team floundered, lacking direction and motivation. Public speaking made her uncomfortable and really nervous. It was an area she was struggling in. I saw an opportunity. Habit stacking, I suggested, could be the key. Small, daily wins would build confidence. Each morning, Sara would journal her goals, followed by 10 minutes reading a leadership book. During her commute she would listen to leadership podcasts.

At work, the transformation began. Meetings now started with clear objectives and agendas, setting the stage for practicing engaging techniques – eye contact, vocal variety – we had discussed. Each week, a late evening mimicked future challenges as we roleplayed difficult conversations. Between meetings, personalized notes praising contributions or progress toward goals landed in team members' inboxes.

A month in, the shift was undeniable. Projects progressed  efficiently through completion, and surveys reflected a happier, more motivated team. Motivated by her success, Sara, once terrified of public speaking, volunteered for an industry conference presentation. Daily clear communication, bolstered by these additional habits, had woven a tapestry of leadership. Sara's transformation, fueled by consistent improvement, was a testament to the power of habit stacking.

An often overlooked yet crucial aspect of a healthy workplace culture is leadership accountability. But what exactly does it mean to be an accountable leader and how does it impact business outcomes?

In this episode, I define and discuss accountability and how it functions in real world business situations.

In this podcast I examine a recent BBC article titled “What is the plan for digital IDs and will they be mandatory?”.  I  look at what “digital ID” means in a UK context, what the government is planning, whether it will be mandatory (and if so when), and what the implications are for privacy, personal freedom and everyday life.
