Speechless Leader: Learning vs Doing

U ovoj kratkoj epizodi izlažemo jednu dnevnu rutinu. Od ujutru, kada se probudimo, do uveče kada se pripremamo za spavanje!
____________________________
MOJ DAN
Svaki dan se budim oko devet. Odmah raspremim svoj krevet i krenem u kupatilo da se sredim. U kupatilu se istuširam, obučem, operem zube i očešljam. Obično ne perem kosu ujutru jer uglavnom nemam dovoljno vremena. Skoro uvek perem kosu uveče ili kada se vratim sa fakulteta.
Posle toga, naparvim doručak, ali ne doručkujem često. Uglavnom jedem tek kasnije oko 12 ili 1. Doktor mi je rekao da to nije dobro, ali za mene nije dobro ni da jedem rano ujutru jer se ne osećam kako treba.
Nakon toga, idem na fakultet. Na fakultetu obično ostanem oko 3 ili 4 sata. Iako je to kratko vreme- skoro uvek sam jako umorna kada se vratim kući. 
Ja živim sa tri drugarice. Jana je najstarija i ona studira japanski. Marija studira medicinu. Ja mislim da je medicina baš teška, ali Marija to voli. Lana je mladja od svih nas i ona je brucoš na matematičkom fakultetu. To je još jedan predmet koji ja ne volim, i loša sam u matematici. 
Nas tri se lepo slažemo i volimo živeti zajedno. Upoznale smo se slučajno ali je meni jako drago što se to dogodilo.
Uveče kada krenem na spavanje, volim da razgovaram sa nekim na telefon. Na primer sa dečkom, sa svojom porodicom, ili sa nekim drugaricama. Obožavam da gledam filmove i serije. Takodje, volim da jedem nešto slatko i pijem kafu dok gledam svoju omiljenu dramu. 


Slušaj me!

Have you been promoted at work for your great ideas? 

While we all have good ideas, sadly, most of them never see the light of day. People keep their ideas to themselves for many reasons. Perhaps they don’t like speaking up in meetings or feel overburdened by work and don’t want to invite more work. Maybe they’ve brought up ideas at work before, and others didn’t seem interested or even discouraged them. After all, most people don’t recognize the potential of an idea at first.

But of course, we all benefit from good ideas. In the workplace, they can lead to the creation of entirely new products and services, an easier way to do something, time saved, or countless other benefits.

Tune in to this episode of the Express to Impress podcast to find out how to present ideas successfully.  You’ll advance your career in no time!
