В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь с Колобком, узнаете, кто он, как он родился, и почему он так трагически умер. 
В первой части я расскажу краткое резюме сказки "Колобок", а во второй части прочитаю сказку в оригинале. Надеюсь, вам будет интересно. 
Спойлер: Колобок - это круглый хлеб, который ожил и покатился искать приключения. 

Вот небольшой фрагмент последней песни Колобка: 
"Я Колобок, Колобок!
Я по коробу скребен,
По сусеку метен,
На сметане мешон,
Да в масле пряжон,
На окошке стужон;
Я от дедушки ушел,
Я от бабушки ушел,
Я от зайца ушел,
Я от волка ушел,
И от медведя ушел,
А от тебя, лиса, и подавно уйду!"

Если вы поняли не все слова, это нормально. Линии 1-5 могут быть непонятны даже русскому человеку, потому что использованы не очень современные слова.

🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

If you’re a non-native English-speaking manager, you’ve likely felt it:

👉 You know what you want to say…
But in the moment, the words vanish. Doubt creeps in. Confidence slips away.

The truth is — language and confidence are deeply connected.
How you feel when you speak matters just as much as the words you choose.

Try this 1-minute confidence reset before your next meeting:

✨ Close your eyes
✨ Inhale slowly (4 seconds)
✨ Hold (4 seconds)
✨ Exhale gently (6 seconds)
✨ Repeat 3 times

Then say quietly to yourself:
💬 “My voice matters. I speak with clarity.”

🌿 Confidence doesn’t mean speaking perfectly. It means showing up — grounded, clear, and present.

If you’re ready to feel more confident in your communication, I’d love to help.
