The Little Prince in Cantonese - Chapter 2

我们每个人都有自己的姓。姓是标志家族系统的称号，姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史传承。在中国古代很多部落根据自己的地理位置或者职业等，创造了自己的姓。姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史的传承。在日常生活中，为了表示尊敬，人们对于初识的人常常会问“您贵姓？”。一般人们都会回答“免贵姓.⋯⋯”。
Everyone has their own surname, which connects them to their ancestors and represents the continuation of the family lineage. In ancient China, surnames already came into existence. Many tribes created their own surnames according to their geographical locations or occupations. And thus their surnames became the carrier of traditional Chinese culture and history. In everyday life today, Chinese people also pay a lot of attention to surnames. For example, in order to show respect when meeting someone for the first time, people often say 您贵姓? (what's your honourable surname?). Usually people will respond with 免贵姓…… (My name is.., without nobility).

3 Tips to Improve Your Confidence Speaking Business English. + A personal story being a manager in London.

1. Avoid giving solutions

People are not interested ( until they ask ) what you think about XXX...Sometime they just want to share and they want to be heard, give them this opportunity to shine!

2. Using coaching strategies to lead your team. Too many managers try to keep their teams in the state of fear - causing demotivation and resistance ( I've share a bit of my story in the podcast)

3.  Agree and add

People want to know that they are listened to, therefore, agree with them and add in further information if relevant.

Try it on for size (an idiom, stands for: To try, use, or consider something in order to make a decision or form an opinion about it. Likened to putting on a garment to see if it fits.) so try these tips for yourself and see how you'll like it.
