English Phrases and Idioms

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.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UNA ESTUDIANTE QUE SE LLAMA VICTORIA.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Que tan bueno eras en la escuela?

2. ¿Cual era tu materia favorita?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Victoria al escribir los números en su libreta lo
pasa muy bien.

Para hacer el uno pinta una rayita de arriba
abajo en el papel y le pone después una teja.
Para hacer el dos dibuja con cuidado el cuello
de un cisne.

Para dibujar el tres pone dos montañas de pie y
sigue con sus dibujos, para hacer un cuatro primero
una cruz y después le baja un palito como una vela.


Sigue con el cinco y el seis. ¡Qué fácil es! El
seis es un círculo que no puede cerrar. Y así poquito
a poco hasta el nueve que lo pinta despacito primero
un círculo y después le añade con cuidado una cola
de gato.

Victoria ya sabe escribir todos los números.
