A story about a little boy who discovers that the fish he thought he found in a pond were actually baby frogs (tadpoles)!

Storytime with Teacher Lauren

I Found a Frog

Elena, a data analyst on my business communication coaching roster, booked a session with a clear goal: secure a promotion to Senior Analyst. She possessed the technical skills, but her communication style lacked the persuasion needed to advocate for herself.

We started with the fundamentals.  
Step 1: 
Understanding the Audience. We analyzed the promotion criteria and researched the decision-makers. We discovered a focus on cost reduction and project efficiency.

Step 2: Framing the Value Proposition.  
Elena's technical skills were a given, but we needed to translate them into business impact.  We crafted a narrative highlighting how her data analysis led to a 15% reduction in marketing campaign overspend.

Step 3: Building Credibility.  
Facts and figures are powerful, but data presented in a vacuum loses impact.  We focused on data visualization, creating clear charts that showcased trends and connections.

Step 4: Delivery with Confidence.  
Technical expertise needs confident communication. We practiced her presentation, emphasizing vocal variety, strong eye contact, and body language that conveyed authority.

Step 5: The Anticipation Factor. 
We anticipated potential objections. What if they questioned her ability to manage a team?  We prepared responses that showcased her leadership potential through examples of mentoring junior colleagues.

The final coaching session was a mock interview. Elena, armed with her persuasive narrative and confident delivery, impressed. A week later, she excitedly reported landing the promotion.  Elena's success story is a testament to the power of combining technical expertise with effective communication.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、ーについて。

今日は久しぶりに朝、近くの公園を歩きました。
ここは青葉公園、というところです。
人が少なくて、とてもきれいな自然がある公園です。
歩くと5キロぐらい歩くこともできます。
個人的にとても好きな公園です。

今日は雪も降っていましたが、気温は-1℃ぐらいでいつもより寒くなかったです。

雪が積もっている公園はとてもきれいです。
これだけで、北海道に住んでよかったなと思います。
今日は久しぶりにシカもみました！

4,5匹いました。
少しあったかいから外に出てきたんですかね。
神社の近くに座っていました。

いつも通りリスもみました。
リスはどれだけ寒い時も、クルミの木の近くにいていつも何かを食べています。たくましいですね。

30-40分ぐらい歩いて、公園をぬけます。
公園のとなりには千歳川、というこれもまたきれいな川があります。この川沿い、川のとなりを歩いて戻ります。

雪が積もると、夏とはまったくちがう景色になります。
そんな川をながめながら歩きます。

そして、30分ぐらいで家の方まで帰ってきます。
久しぶりに歩いたので少しつかれましたが、やっぱり気持ちいい場所でした。


少し前のPodcastで話したかもしれないですが、ぼくは海外から来る旅行客の人に、このぼくの朝の散歩ルートを一緒に歩くガイドをしています。Airbnb experienceで見ることができます。linkをつけておくので、よかったら見てみてください。自然が好きな方、歩くのが好きな方にはとてもオススメのexperienceだと思います。

北海道は今とても良いシーズンだと思います。
雪の景色を楽しめるのは3月の終わりぐらいまでだと思います。日本に旅行しようと思っている方はぜひ、北海道に遊びに来てくださいね！


みなさんは旅行先でどんな場所が好きですか？
都会が好きですか？自然が好きですか？
そんな話をぜひオンラインレッスンで話しましょう！


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
