In part 2 of your IELTS test you have to speak on a topic for 2 minutes. Here are three things you should do in your one minute preparation time. 

1.Make a note of synonyms. Paraphrasing is an important skill to master when taking your IELTS exam. In fact, if you want to score a band score 6, you have to be able to generally paraphrase successfully. If you want a band score 7, you have to be able to paraphrase effectively. 

2. Think about idioms. Idioms are very important if you want to score above band score 6. To get band score 7, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions. That’s a tricky thing to wrap your head around. Using idioms are extremely important. If you use idioms more than once in a blue moon, you will have a greater chance of achieving a band score 7. This is just a stab in the dark, but I expect most students would like to achieve a band score 7.

3. Think about connectives - linking words. Discourse markers are also important and will help you to move through the subheadings on your card smoothly and effortlessly. Phrase like “Now let me tell you about” or “Now I’d like to explain why…” or “let me tell you the reason why I….” will make your English speaking sound natural and fluent.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me so I can help you achieve the band score you need.

The Power of Storytelling in Leading Change emphasizes the role of storytelling in driving organizational change. Leaders often face the need for significant shifts within their organizations, from cultural to product-related changes. To unite their teams behind a new direction, they must craft a clear, compelling narrative.

Storytelling is a potent tool for inspiring action and connecting with people on a deeper level. It helps articulate the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of change, making the abstract tangible and the future vivid.

The article presents a four-step approach to effective storytelling in leadership:

Deep Understanding, Simple Description: Leaders must deeply understand the change to communicate it simply. John Legere’s transformation of T-Mobile into an “un-carrier” is a prime example of conveying a complex change with a single, powerful word.
Honoring the Past: Leaders should acknowledge the organization’s strengths and history, showing respect for the past while guiding towards the future. This builds trust and eases the transition for those resistant to change.
Articulate a Persuasive Mandate for Change: Leaders need to present a clear vision that motivates and aligns with the organization’s values, addressing both the positive and negative aspects of the past.
Lay Out a Rigorous and Optimistic Path Forward: The narrative should be action-oriented, providing a clear roadmap for change while maintaining an optimistic outlook.
In summary, leaders must master storytelling to effectively lead change, balancing respect for the past with a clear vision for the future. By doing so, they can capture the hearts and minds of their employees, fostering a culture of optimism and honesty.

PSICOLOGÍA PRÁCTICA.

Un hombre de negocios tenia que elegir a un empleado de entre tres candidatos.
A los tres le hizo, por turno, la misma pregunta: "¿Qué haría usted si a la hora de liquidar una cuenta un deudor le entrega mil pesos de más?"
El Primero contestó:
-Le haría ver su error y le devolvería inmediatamente los mil pesos.
-Demasiado cándido, usted no me sirve joven. -Dijo el patrón.

El segundo contestó:
-No le diría nada y depositaría los mil pesos en la caja.
-Demasiado inmoral, usted tampoco me sirve joven.

El tercero dijo:
-¿Para qué nos anticipamos? Primero esperemos a que alguien nos dé mil pesos de más, y entonces ya veremos lo que hacemos.
-Usted tiene sentido práctico joven. Queda contratado.
