_________________________________
Це моя бабуся. Її звати Варвара Іванівна. Іванівна – це по-батькові. Її батька звали Іван. Зараз, на жаль, її батько вже помер.
Їй шістдесят два роки. Вона пенсіонерка. Це означає, що зараз вона вже не працює. Раніше бабуся Варвара працювала в торгівельному центрі. Вона колишній продавець. Вона продавала книги, підручники, папір, ручки, олівці, блокноти, степлери, скріпки та багато іншого.
Моя бабуся дуже гарна. Зараз, звісно, на її обличчі є зморшки. У неї коротка стрижка і вже сиве волосся. Раніше її волосся було чорним і довгим. Я знаю, тому що я бачив фото. У неї була струнка фігура. Але зараз вона зовсім не товста, ні! Зараз бабуся просто худа. Раніше у неї були зелені очі, але зараз одне око зелене, а інше око блакитне. Це називається гетерохромія. Вона дуже мене любить, а ще вона кохає її* чоловіка. У бабусі ще є велика чорна кішка на ім’я Ніч і маленький білий пес на ім’я Сніг. Ось така моя бабуся.

*here we would use reflexive pronoun “свій” in Genetive, however we don’t cover it at A1 lvl

Episode 6: about appearance

In today's fast-paced and competitive job market, finding the right talent is essential for any organization's success. While evaluating a candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience is important, it is equally important for HR managers to evaluate cultural fit. 

Cultural fit is the degree to which a candidate's values, work style, and personality align with the culture and values of the organization.

HR managers evaluate cultural fit because it can have a significant impact on a candidate's job performance, job satisfaction, and overall success in the role. 

When a candidate fits in with the organization's culture, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their work. This can lead to better performance, increased productivity, and a positive impact on the organization's bottom line.

Cultural fit also promotes a positive work environment, where employees feel comfortable, supported, and valued. When employees share common values and work styles, they are more likely to collaborate effectively and work together towards common goals. 

This can create a sense of unity and team spirit, which can boost morale and lead to a more positive work culture.

In conclusion, evaluating cultural fit is an important part of the hiring process. HR managers must carefully evaluate a candidate's values, work style, and personality to determine whether they will fit in with the organization's culture. This can help to foster a positive work environment, increase employee engagement and productivity, and ultimately contribute to the organization's success.

How do HR managers evaluate 'cultural fit'

Let me tell you something. In the world of business, communication is king. But forget fancy speeches and teleprompters. What you really need is the ability to connect, to think on your feet, and inspire – on the spot. That's where I come in.

As your business communication coach, I won't just train you to speak. I'll help you find your voice, the one that resonates with authenticity and power. We'll work together to build a foundation of strong business acumen. Numbers, trends, market forces – these aren't just dry facts, they're the fuel that propels your message.

But knowledge alone isn't enough. You have to be able to listen, truly listen, to the people you're speaking with. What are their concerns? Their aspirations? We'll hone your active listening skills, so you can build bridges, not walls, during those impromptu interactions.

Now, let's be honest, practice makes perfect. We won't just talk the talk, we'll walk the walk. Mock interviews, simulated meetings, even impromptu presentations on random business topics – we'll throw you curveballs, and you'll learn to hit them out of the park. We'll record your sessions, analyze them together, and help you refine your delivery, ditch the filler words, and find that clear, concise style that cuts through the noise.

Remember, confidence is key.  I'll be your guide, your cheerleader, pushing you to embrace challenges and see every unexpected speaking opportunity as a chance to grow. Because ultimately, it's not about having all the answers, it's about the passion and purpose behind them.

So, are you ready to step up, to take your communication skills to the next level?  Together, we can turn you into an impromptu speaking champion, someone who commands attention, inspires collaboration, and leaves a lasting impression. Let's get started.
