HOLA A TODOS! Soy Camila, y soy de Buenos Aires, en mi acento conocido como 'Rioplatense' no usamos el pronombre TU para referirnos a 'singular you', usamos el pronombre VOS. ¿Sabías esto?

Al cambiar el pronombre, algunos verbos necesitan ajustarse y van a sonar diferente. En este podcast te muestro un poco de esa transformación verbal, y también del cambio en la entonación,

¿estás listo/a? 

DALE PLAY!

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?

【键盘侠】
这种人在现实生活中对周边的人或者事物冷漠不关心，喜欢用手机或者电脑在网络上对他人进行批评、侮辱、道德谴责等等。
 比如，现实中，如果遇到一个人被欺负，键盘侠会假装看不见，然后悄悄离开，但是，如果在网络上看到有人被欺负的新闻，键盘侠会立马写评论指责他人为什么不帮助那个受害者。这就是键盘侠。
