Bernard Lapin
Pour gagner un peu d’argent de poche, Bernard Lapin entretient les maisons des marmottes durant tout l’hiver. Sans ménager sa peine, il récure, lessive, nettoie, cire et balaie. Les paresseuses, lorsqu'elles s’éveillent au printemps, trouvent toujours leur logis parfaitement propre et impeccablement rangé.
Le brave Bernard se repose alors en dévorant des carottes.

I believe that many people, especially geek ones (like developers , statistician, etc ), sometimes need to deliver message to non-technical ones who are in different field. They may struggle communicating to each other.

Most people might understand that Public Speaking is talking on stage towards 100 or 1000 audiences. I, however, argue that it is formal, face-to-face talking of a single person to a group of ones. Though, I will, in this blog, focus on presentation.

There are two main types of communication, which are:

Verbal Communication such as controlling Tone of Voice
and
Non Verbal Communication like Body Language

Speakers, who can control their tones of voice, could manipulate listeners’ feelings and emotion. Most human do not know what type of their voices is, its nature and how can it be exploit. 

It is a good opportunity to share my knowledge and you may adapt it, listen your own voice, and adapt it for the sake of better communication.

Listen to the data on how you can improve your influence and incorporate that in your next meeting!

If you want to be fearless English communicator - knowing yourself and being confident speaking it - schedule a class with me now!

Existe un taco CUYO origen es incierto, ALGUNOS creen que surgió en la capital mexicana OTROS  dicen QUE comenzó su vida taquera en el estado vecino. Sea cuál sea su origen, lo único que podemos decir es que son una bomba de sabor. Hablamos de los tacos placeros.

Historiadores taqueros cuentan las hipótesis del origen de ese manjar divino dónde se mezcla la pasión por la fiesta taurina y la pereza - flojera, mejor dicho - del mexicano un domingo por la tarde. La primera hipótesis dice que estos tacos surgen de los mercados populares donde marchantes daban a sus clientes a probar su mercancía sobre una tortilla que iba directo a la mano del cliente con nopalitos o chicharrón, según fuera el puesto. Esto significa que el taco placero regresa al pasado gastronómico de la cultura mexicana. Otra teoría dice que dependen del estado donde se preparen. Se dice que en la Ciudad de México se les comenzó a llamar así desde 1946, por los tacos de chicharrón y carne que se vendían en la Plaza de Toros los días de corridas. Tras terminar el evento taurino, los visitantes salían del recinto y fuera de la plaza se encontraban personas vendiendo tacos de chicharrón y carne de res, costumbre que continúa hoy en día y a la que se han sumado todo tipo de tacos: de guisado, suadero, bistec con nopales, etc.
