A Must Skill To Have As An IELTS Speaking Performer! And For Corporate Employees. (read on, the gift is down the page)! 

This is my recording of preparing a student to succeed as an IELTS speaking taker.

Here are some transcribed ideas from the podcast:

1. Mindset is the key.

What you think about your success will dictate what you say, how you say it, it will influence your fluency, your grammar, your vocabulary!

It all starts off WITH YOU THINKING : "I AM A BRIGHT INDIVIDUAL'!

I am a bright individual,

I feel that I am a bright individual,

I possess the qualities of a bright individual.

I am the owner of being the bright individual.

2. How I prepared for the IELTS test and what I did to achieve 8.5 and then 9.0 in the speaking section?

3. You have the technical skill and the mindset skill.

4. Who are you competing with?

5. What were my other successes with this strategy in 2018 and in 2022?

6. The acceptance of ideas talked about and moving on to further preparation.

My student, I decided to share it with you because you cannot miss to go into IELTS or ANY ENDEVOIR  (job interview preparation, business English) without this CRUCIAL ELEMENT called the mindset!

Listen to it few times, let it germinate in you and if you want to take it further - grab the book called: The Magic Of Thinking Big By David Schwartz - you'll get business advices on how to succeed in the corporate world.

My students are presidents of companies, VPs of departments, business owners and they ALL share the same thing - what I talk about in the podcast.

Join some of my coaching classes to elevate your game as communicator!

Story = '2000 most common words in English'. 

It was 10am on a cloudy Friday when Bobby was struck by inspiration.  It was a day like any other. Bobby was sitting on his bed, curled up in a ball and Afsane was nearby reading a new book.

Bobby was deep in thought. His eyes were closed but his mind was active. His little tail was wagging softly. Occasionally he got up, turned around and sat back down again. This was part of his creative process. 

Then Bobby’s eyes shot open. “Yes! That’s it! I’ll… I’ll…” Then he rested his head again on his paws.  “No… it’s gone.” 

Asfane turned her attention back to her book and turned the page. The book was called, How to Live with An Extraordinary Dog. She wanted to better understand Bobby’s gift.

“You’ve done so many projects,” said Afsane. “Why don’t you revisit an old idea and explore it from a different viewpoint?” 

All over Bobby’s room were his photographs. They were all in special frames. He had taken photos of almost everything: parks, sports, markets, transportation, roads—whatever Bobby saw, he snapped a photo. But he didn’t know what to do for his next photography project. 

Bobby needed to refresh his mind. He jumped off the bed and walked over to his food area. On the wall in front of his red drinking bowl was a picture of his previous drinking bowl, a blue one. 

“I’m looking for a special subject, Afsane,” said Bobby after drinking some water. “Something which speaks to my soul. Something which lifts my spirits.” 

Afsane shrugged her shoulders and put down her book. “That sounds very serious, Bobby. Why don’t you just take a photo of… oh, I don’t know, that.” 

Afsane pointed to the open window. 

Bobby felt curious, so he jumped up and looked out the window. He didn’t see much. He watched the traffic and the dark clouds. But then, something caught his eye. 

Bobby barked and howled! “That’s it! That’s it!”

“See, I told you. There’s nothing boring about windows,” said Afsane.

“No. There! Children!”

I believe that great skin comes from within. There are food sources readily available in your local market that you can buy to get good skin. Glowing skin can be achieved from food sources and food such as fruits are some of the best sources we have.
