Today, I came across a wedding vow that resonated my thoughts exactly. As an ambitious person, I believe that one must fulfill personal goals before marriage. It is because marriage is a team effort and both individuals must grow before even tying the knot. I will be sharing a love story that started 14 years ago.

Меня зовут Люк. Я австралиец. Я студент филологического факультета в Мельбурне. 3 месяца я живу в Москве и изучаю русский язык в МГУ. В Австралии на завтрак я ем яйцо, батон с сыром, круассан с вареньем. Потом я пью кофе с молоком. В Москве я живу в квартире с русской семьёй. Это прекрасная семья - муж, жена, дочь и сын. Утро. Завтрак. Мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не люблю творог со сметаной, но все едят и я ем. Четыре дня мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не могу смотреть на творог со сметаной! 
Суббота. Я очень рад, что на завтрак мы едим сосиски. Воскресенье. Завтрак. Вы не поверите, что мы едим. Суп с рыбой! В Австралии никто не ест суп утром и никто не ест рыбу утром, а я ем ... А в понедельник на завтрак мы едим борщ. Без сметаны, борщ красный, а со сметаной борщ розовый, как платье Барби. 
Все едят борщ, и я ем борщ. 
И почему русский завтрак такой загадочный?

Lo difícil de aprender un idioma. 

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.
