Benvenuto in questa prima puntata del mio nuovo podcast, qui voglio parlarti di uno dei Paesi più belli al mondo: l’Italia. Ci sono centinaia di guide sui viaggi in Italia ma la maggior parte parlano sempre degli stessi luoghi e non approfondiscono mai i luoghi veramente caratteristici, io tenterò di farti conoscere ogni angolo delle città che ti racconterò. La prima è dedicata alla mia città e a tutti i suoi monumenti, luoghi artistici e d'intrattenimento che ti offre, e sono davvero tanti!!

Podcast per tutti i gusti!

Cosa vedere a Roma, parte 1

C'est bientôt vendredi 13, pour certains ça porte bonheur pour d'autres ça porte malheur, mais pour être honnête j'ai longtemps été indifférente à cette date. Malheureusement, j'ai changé d'avis quand nous avons connu les attentats de Paris le vendredi 13 Novembre 2015, depuis j'y pense à chaque vendredi 13. Ce jour-là, je voulais aller à Paris après le travail, j'avais envoyé un message à une amie pour se retrouver et boire un verre ensemble, mais le temps que je me prépare j'ai manqué mon train, et finalement le train suivant me faisait arriver trop tard alors on a annulé. Une chance pour moi tandis que d'autres ont vécu le pire... Mais bon, changeons de sujet, récemment j'ai discuté avec quelques élèves des superstitions qu'ils ont et c'était super intéressant, honnêtement je croyais que je n’étais superstitieuse, c'est vrai, je n'ai jamais considéré que passer sous une échelle ou voir un chat noir pouvait être un mauvais signe mais quand même j’ai réalisé que je croise toujours les doigts quand on parle de malheur, que je n’accepterais jamais d’ouvrir un parapluie à l’intérieur d’une maison ou de laisser une baguette à l’envers, pas la peine de penser à prendre l’avion un vendredi 13 d'ailleurs quelques compagnies aériennes n'ont même pas de rangée numéro 13 dans leurs avions, et si un jour au hasard d'une promenade je venais à trouver un trèfle à quatre feuilles je pense que je sauterais de joie. Alors finalement peut-être que je suis un peu superstitieuse. D'ailleurs ça m'a fait un peu bizarre quand j'ai réalisé que cet épisode serait le numéro 13 sur le thème du vendredi 13 ! Aïe ! Mais il paraît que ça porte malheur d'être superstitieux alors j'ai décidé de publier quand même cet épisode !

What Type Of Employee Are you? Are you a Changer or a Runner?

‘‘Run‘‘ stands for the routine, well-defined processes. 

‘‘Change‘‘ — for expanding to the unknown, innovative or experimental. 

Runners and Changers are different people. 

A common mistake in companies is to combine Running and Changing in the same person. 

For example, Runner managers are good administrators. They are good at building processes within the department and making sure that daily tasks get done.

Changer managers are visionaries and strategists who aren’t strong in the day-to-day operations. They implement new projects and ideas.

From Two Sales to Bestseller: UK Author Goes Viral
When English author Vicky Ball sold two of her books at an event in December, she was delighted.

She shared the news on X, and said she was pleased because at some previous events she had not sold any books at all.

But she's now sold many more copies than that, after her post went viral and was seen millions of times by people around the world.

Her first novel, called Powerless, quickly climbed up Amazon's bestseller lists in the teen and young adult categories.

Ball, who is 48, told The Guardian that it was "amazing" to hear from people around the world who had bought her books.

Her second novel — Abandoned — has also been doing well on Amazon, and has gotten good reviews from customers.

Like so many authors, Ball had to fit in her writing around her work and family life.

She wrote her first book during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. She was working as a teacher at that time, so she spent weekends writing with her laptop on her knees.

Now Ball works at a university, and she's also studying writing in her free time.

She also said she's gotten lots of support from other writers on social media.

Asked by The Guardian if she had advice for other authors she said: "Just write!"

She said she begins writing before she has planned all of her story. "It's like a journey," she said. "You never know where it's going to go."
