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.

This book is for upper-intermediate/advanced level, but I changed the text and tried to read it as slowly as possible to make it easier than what it was;)
Hope you enjoy it!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回はネコの出産に出会いました！という話です。

ぼくたちは今、ジョージア🇬🇪にいます。

それで、1か月ごとにアパートを変わっています。
先週から新しいアパートに移動しました。

そこの近くにかわいいネコがいました。
お腹が大きくて、もうすぐ子どもが産まれそうなネコ。

3日ぐらい毎日会いました。
ネコは良く近寄ってきました。

ぼくたちは、もしかしたらこのネコはもうすぐ子どもを産むかもしれない、と思いました。

それで、一応、YouTubeでネコの出産の動画を見ました。

そしたら、翌日、そのネコは本当にぼくたちのアパートの前で出産をはじめました。

足元に来て、横になっていたので、ぼくの服を下にしきました。そして、ネコの背中をさすりました。

ネコは1匹産みました！
奥さんと良かったなーと言っていたら、まだしんどそう。
そうやってそのまま全部で6匹！産みました。

その日の夜だけ、部屋の中で世話をしました。

だけど、ぼくたちのアパートではないので、翌日には外に出しました。

母猫は子どもたちを安全な場所に連れて行きました。

今日も母猫はぼくたちに会いに来ました。

子どもたちが元気に育ってくれるとうれしいなと思います。


こんなことは、日本では絶対に起こらないことだと思います。

貴重な経験で、とても感動的でした。
ネコはぼくたちに手伝ってほしかったのかもしれません。


ということで、今回は以上です。

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
