大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【追星】的话题。
这个星期网上的热门话题是王心凌。她是一名歌手。十多年前她非常火，因为她的长相甜美，而且歌曲和舞蹈很少女，收获了不少粉丝，特别是男粉丝。上个星期五她参加的一档综艺节目《乘风破浪的姐姐》开播了。今年39岁的她穿着当年的少女裙子，唱着那首经典的歌曲《爱你》。熟悉的歌词和舞蹈一下子勾起了很多人的青春回忆。于是，她又火了，上了热搜。
网上出现很多这样的视频：她的男粉丝听到她的歌声都忍不住跟着一起唱起来，跳起来。更夸张的是，很多人为了支持他们的偶像王心凌，开始买芒果超媒的股票。芒果超媒就是制作这个节目的公司。还有公司发布公告,要求公司员工为王心凌投票，因为老板是王心凌的忠实粉丝。在你们的国家有这样的疯狂追星的现象吗？留言告诉我吧。
最后我们来听一听这首非常火的歌曲《爱你》
如果你突然打了个喷嚏 那一定就是我在想你
如果半夜被手机吵醒 啊 那是因为我关心
常常想你说的话 是不是别有用心
明明很想相信 却又忍不住怀疑 在你的心里 
我是否就是唯一 爱就是有我常烦着你
ho baby 情话多说一点 想我就多看一眼
表现多一点点 让我能真的看见oh bye 少说一点
想陪你不只一天 多一点让我心甘情愿 爱你

Hola queridos, en este episodio simplemente os cuento algunas cosas sobre mí.

Por cierto, ¿habéis adivinado de donde soy? :)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Hablar por hablar (Listening)

hola hola

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.
