大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【和蛋有关的有趣的词】。
首先是跟吃有关的“蛋”。我们最经常吃的是鸡蛋，煎蛋、水煮蛋、蒸蛋和茶叶蛋。还有一些家常菜，例如西红柿炒鸡蛋、韭菜炒蛋、蛋炒饭等等。我们也吃鸭蛋，一般是咸鸭蛋。做法是用盐腌制，可以配粥吃，也可以用来做菜。
你可能听过一些带有“蛋”的词，其实是形容人的。第一个，坏蛋，指很坏的人。例如：他是个大坏蛋，总是欺负人。第二个，笨蛋，指很笨的人。例如：你这个笨蛋，这么简单的题都不会做。第三个，倒霉蛋，指的是运气很不好的人。例如：他真是个倒霉蛋，每次去旅游都下大雨。
我们再来看看其他的词，“完蛋”。猜猜是什么意思？要是失去这个客户，我们公司就完蛋了。如果被老师发现, 我们就完蛋了。这里完蛋的意思是，be finished，be screwed。
还有一个词是“零蛋”。例如：这次考试，他考了个零蛋。意思是他考了0分，因为数字0很像一个蛋。有些家长为了吉利，会在孩子考试那天的早餐给孩子准备一根油条，两个鸡蛋，因为放在一起很像100分。
最后，Don't put all your eggs in one basket，你知道中文怎么说吗？“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”，也可以说“不要孤注一掷。”
你还知道什么和蛋有关的词？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

SWE #2 My Hard Drive Died

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.
