it starts with a Dream!

Whether you are and into IELTS speaking or job interview preparation or business English enhancement - you might want to read on and listen to the podcast.

Most people, however, spend their time on 'the negative' part of their dreams.

Do you know what it is?

It's about visualizing terrible things taking place at the time of the event or after.

They break down in great details how they fail, they see other people laughing at them, they envision everything falling apart while they are performing.

It's called 'doubters syndrome', the doubting thought clutter their minds, acting like a filter - helping people to fail over succeeding...it's a sad story and most teachers never talk about it :(

#21 Short story /  Buying Mittens ep1 / storytelling // N3 Level

Is Your Introduction Repelling Your Dream Job? Stop Begging and Start COMMANDING Attention!

Let’s be blunt: Your introduction is either a powerful weapon or a pathetic weakness. Are you sounding like a timid pushover, or a confident COMPETITION CRUSHER who’s about to steal the show?

Truth is, most job seekers are UTTERLY FORGETTABLE. They drone on with the same tired clichés, blending into the background like wallpaper.

What makes YOU different? What makes the hiring manager absolutely OBSESSED with having you on their team?

If you can’t answer that, you’re DEAD IN THE WATER.

This isn’t about “looking professional.” It’s about projecting POWER, AUTHORITY, and undeniable VALUE that leaves the competition in the dust.

In this recording, I’ll hand you the exact phrases you need to inject into your system NOW to transform your introduction into a high-impact sales pitch.

LISTEN UP: This isn’t for the faint of heart. This is about crafting an introduction that DEMANDS attention, builds instant rapport, and leaves the hiring manager begging you to accept the job.

Listen, drill these phrases, and build your own arsenal of words. Because in today’s cutthroat job market, you either DOMINATE or you DISAPPEAR.

Time to stop sounding like everyone else and start projecting the UNSTOPPABLE force you really are.

Are you ready to finally make the hiring person fall in love with you, or are you going to let another opportunity slip through your fingers? The choice is yours.

But let’s face it, you are here, because you want to win it all. No participation trophies, no second place…

Are you ready to have more people want to hire you?

Anatoly

(P.S. This recording is NOT for those who are satisfied with mediocrity. If you’re looking for fluff, go somewhere else. This is for serious action-takers who are ready to DOMINATE.)

Déprime ou dépression_dictée_transcription

DÉPRIME OU DÉPRESSION ?

Dictée

On confond souvent la déprime et la dépression. En effet, il est important de différencier ces deux termes.
La déprime est un état passager qui se manifeste par une mauvaise humeur, de la tristesse, de la fatigue, des insomnies, une baisse de motivation, ou encore une perte d'appétit sur le court terme. On peut etre déprimé quand on fait face à des événements difficiles, tels que crise de couple, conflits professionnels, soucis de santé, etc.
En revanche, la dépression est une maladie mentale qui dure. Sur le long terme, la dépression entraîne une vision négative de soi et du monde, accompagnée du sentiment de désespoir et de détresse.
