Reviewer: Denise RQ Okay, thank you Leonardo and Gabriele for that wonderful introduction.
2
This is going to be quite a challenge, summarizing an entire year's experience in a few minutes.
3
but I will give it my best.
4
Thank you.
5
So it comes down to this.
6
The MBA has been a dream.
7
A dream for most of us before it even began.
8
A dream that we all lived through during very turbulent times.
9
However, it was a dream that we have all fulfilled.
10
And today we stand here, awakened and inspired only to dream bigger.
11
15 months have passed and it feels like yesterday that we took the most important decision of our lives.
12
And if you think about it, not much has changed.
13
We continue to make big decisions.
14
But today, there is a difference.
15
We are far more prepared better informed, and we have each built our reserve of knowledge against what's to come.
16
Thank you.
17
The past year, we have transformed personally and professionally.
18
And without a doubt, Stavocconi has been instrumental in this process.
19
I would like to take this opportunity to thank few of many that altered our perceptions
20
by reinforcing the values this institution stands by.
21
I would like to thank Professor Gatti and Cerrone for reaffirming their faith in financial integrity and ethical conduct.
22
- I would like to thank Professor Daveri and Giovanni's fiery debates on the world macroeconomic environment
23
that today so govern and impact our decisions.
24
Thank you.
25
I would like to thank Professor Castellucci who pushed us to think beyond our boundaries.
26
in understanding ourselves human behavior in pursuing our ambition that truly defines who we are,
27
and ultimately guiding us to becoming extraordinary managers.
28
And finally, how can we forget the fun and the sound practicality of Professor Grando,
29
where there is a solution beneath the surface of every problem.
30
We just have to keep drilling down.
31
So I guess what I'm trying to say is what we learned in those classrooms were not just lessons on management.
32
They were in fact lessons on life that we will take with us forever.
33
Thank you.
34
Thank you.
35
And then this experience would not have been complete without you.
36
You wonderful, bright, eclectic people that made this experience unforgettable.
37
the depth of knowledge, and experience that we have shared together in those boxes lunch at Friends,
38
coffee chats at Francisco's, and our several night outs together.
39
those interactions will be priceless and unforgettable.
40
For we have created something far stronger than a network.
41
we have created a bond.
42
a bond of respect, friendship and gratitude.
43
Thank you.
44
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all the families that are here today and those that were not able to make it.
45
Thank you for believing in us and allowing us to live this dream.
46
I thank Stavokoni for empowering our minds with a more open one.
47
Thank you and good luck.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
