Today's piece of vocabulary is "to strike a chord", which means to cause someone to feel sympathy, emotion, or enthusiasm. For instance,
"the issue of food safety strikes a chord with almost everyone"

Don't forget that "strike" is an irregular verb, so in the past tense this becomes "struck", as in "your speech really struck a chord with me".

# 1.  Look at your hand.

Employers increasingly seek candidates with strong upskilling capabilities, particularly in the realm of impromptu speaking.  This refers to the ability to deliver well-structured, persuasive messages with little to no preparation.  This skillset can be a significant differentiator in interviews, meetings, and networking events.

Let's look into the upskilling process for impromptu speaking. Firstly, fostering a strong foundation in business acumen is crucial.  A comprehensive understanding of industry trends, financial literacy, and marketing principles allows you to speak with authority on relevant topics during impromptu exchanges.  Furthermore, honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills equips you to analyze situations quickly and formulate concise, impactful responses.

Secondly, active listening is essential.  Pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal cues from your audience during impromptu interactions. This enables you to tailor your message accordingly, fostering deeper connections and demonstrating genuine interest in their perspectives.

Thirdly, practice is key.  While formal presentations require meticulous planning, impromptu speaking thrives on consistent exercise.  Engage in discussions with colleagues, participate in mock interviews, or join public speaking clubs.  Record yourself delivering impromptu presentations on various business topics and analyze the recordings to identify areas for improvement.

Finally, cultivate a growth mindset.  Embrace challenges and view every unexpected speaking opportunity as a learning experience.  Focus on clear and concise communication, avoiding jargon and filler words.  Organize your thoughts using frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to deliver impactful narratives.

By upskilling in impromptu speaking, you equip yourself with a valuable asset in the professional arena.

Upskilling for Enhanced Impromptu Speaking in the Professional Sphere - Episode 94

Walt Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved children's movies in history. But his path to success wasn't a direct one.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's journey began in 1923, when he moved to California to make cartoons. He made a series of silent cartoons called Alice Comedies, which became successful and led to the founding of the Walt Disney Studio.

In 1927, Walt Disney created a new cartoon character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made 26 short films with him in just one year.

However, when Disney asked for more money to continue making them, he discovered that his distributor had secretly hired his animators to make Oswald cartoons without him. Worse still, Disney didn't own the character of Oswald — the distributor did.

This setback forced Disney to create a new character. And that's how he came up with his most famous creation — Mickey Mouse. Mickey first appeared in the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie, and became an instant hit.

Disney then made the world's first full-color cartoon, 1932's Flowers and Trees, winning him an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Building on these successes, Disney began working on his first full-length movie in 1934 — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Over 300 people were involved in making the movie, including animators and artists. It went four times over its budget, and some dubbed the movie "Disney's Folly," believing it would fail.

But it didn't — when it was released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the highest-grossing film of all time, although it lost that title two years later to Gone with the Wind.

Walt Disney passed away in 1966, but his legacy lived on. His company continued to release successful animated movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, and now also creates successful computer animated films like Frozen and Moana.
