🎙 The Shame Loop — When Confidence Collapses in English

You don’t sound small in English because you lack words —
you sound small because you carry shame.

This episode of The Woman Behind the Words isn’t about fixing English.
It’s about understanding what happens inside when your confident self disappears the moment you speak.

You’ll hear a story, a truth, and a reframe that might help you reconnect with the voice you thought you’d lost.

💭 Because confidence isn’t a skill — it’s self-trust under pressure.

What if your next breakthrough in English isn’t about learning more — but about trusting yourself more?

“The Pro Behind the Words” - You don’t need new words. You need the REAL YOU who speaks them.

Understanding Change Management
Change management is an essential discipline for organizations facing the ever-changing business environment. It involves a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. This can include changes in company culture, internal processes, technology, infrastructure, and corporate hierarchy.

There are two primary types of organizational change:

Adaptive Changes: These are incremental adjustments that organizations make to evolve over time. Examples include hiring new team members or implementing work-from-home policies.
Transformational Changes: These are comprehensive shifts that significantly alter the organization’s operations. Examples include launching new products, entering new markets, or undergoing a company-wide restructuring.

Best Practices

Aligning HR Initiatives
Align HR strategies with the organization’s goals and engage stakeholders to ensure buy-in and facilitate smooth transitions.

Facilitating Open Dialogue
Maintain transparent communication to alleviate uncertainty and build trust among employees.

Sharing the “Why”
Provide the rationale behind changes to help employees understand the necessity of decisions.

Enlisting Sponsors
Secure committed sponsors who actively support the change and can influence its success.

Addressing Employee Concerns
Recognize that employees may resist change for various reasons and provide support to manage this resistance.

Using Storytelling
Employ narratives to convey the organization’s culture, values, and vision, connecting emotionally with employees.

Creating Urgency and Feedback Loops
Communicate the need for change compellingly and establish mechanisms to gather feedback and adjust strategies accordingly.

Securing Leadership Support
Ensure that executives are visibly committed to the change, as their support is crucial for encouraging others to follow.

Los encantos de la gastronomía italiana

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。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
打をやります！　

音読み　だ
訓読み　うーつ　送り仮名は、つ

意味は、うつ、たたく、とかです。
打つ、という言葉は日本では野球で使われることが多いです。その為、この文字は野球の関係の言葉が多いです。また、野球の言葉から転じて日常生活で使うこともよくあります。

例えば、

・打撃ーだげき　強く打つこと、相手に痛手を与えること

・打刻ーだこく　時刻を記録すること

・打算ーださん　損得を考えて判断すること

・打席ーだせき　野球のバッターボックスのこと、ビジネスなどの機会などの表現にも使う

・代打ーだいだ　ピンチヒッター。交代して打席に立つこと。転じてビジネスなどで誰かの代わりに仕事を受けること。

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・物価がほとんど変わらなかった30年は日本の成長に大きな打撃を与えた

・仕事から上がる時には忘れずに打刻してください

・彼はいつも打算的に行動する

・できるだけたくさんの打席に上がった方がいいよ

・今日は鈴木さんの代打で来ました。よろしくお願いします。


こんな感じです。

今回も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！

#398 N3 漢字"打"、について！

conditional sentences(1st and 2nd)


Hello, guys! This is Kate. Hope you are doing just fine. And today we’re going back to conditional sentences. This is part two and if you haven’t listened to the first podcast, it’s highly recommended to go back and take a look at them.

Alright, today’s podcast is about the 1st and 2nd conditionals. 
First of all let’s revise the first conditional. As you remember, we use it to talk about the future. Here are some examples for you to refresh your memory:

-If you study hard, you’ll enter the university.
-She will be happy if she earns outrageous sums of money.

I hope you remembered this one guys, because we’re going straight to the second conditional.

Why do we need it? To talk about present events which are almost impossible.

Here are a couple of examples:

If I could go anywhere, I would go to South Korea.
If I had more money, I would travel a lot.
I would drop out of my university if my parents didn’t pay for it.


Let’s take a look at the structure:

If+Past Simple, S+would+V1.
And vice versa
S+would+V1 | If+Past Simple(if the sentence is reversed, we don’t use a comma!)



I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!
