1
So those are the 15 vague objectives for this meeting.
2
You're still there, right, Carl?
3
I'm here.
4
Just checking email since no one can see me.
5
Great.
6
Just making sure.
7
I'll now turn things over to Pam, our new project manager.
8
She's going to present an exciting new strategy for managing all
9
of our approvals for all of our creative assets here at Status Quo Week.
10
Pam?
11
I hear she's the George Lucas of creative workflow.
12
I don't know what that means.
13
As you can see here, all of our stakeholders have multiple ways they can share their vague overdue feedback to our creatives.
14
Last summer, I interned for a company that had a single platform that made it easier to manage all of this.
15
The great thing is there's no one simple way to send or receive feedback.
16
So as creative director, I'll never know exactly where we are in the approvals process.
17
Exactly.
18
Hell yeah.
19
And neither will I.
20
It's perfectly inefficient.
21
And an efficient is a core value here at SQI.
22
Who knows the other three?
23
Redundancy, ineffi- Yeah, I'll have a number three with a dyco.
24
I'm not seeing an option to print out assets so I can mark them up with a pen and hand deliver.
25
If you follow this line here, you'll see that that is an option.
26
Have you guys heard of Zyflo?
27
The last company I worked for saved so much time and money when we completely streamlined our- I hate to interrupt, Kim, but rules are rules.
28
Thanks, Rena.
29
By the way, your legal team is going to love how busy my process keeps you.
30
Do you tell them?
31
Well, since we'll have a hard time keeping up with what versions of what have been approved by whom, we'll make sure it's near impossible to keep our assets compliant with company requirements.
32
That's great news.
33
It's been way too long since the Billboard incident.
34
And how are things going in here?
35
Kevin, good to see you.
36
It's Patrick.
37
Uh-huh. And Paula?
38
Arena.
39
Yeah, yeah.
40
Kim?
41
It's Kim.
42
But you can call me Kim.
43
Thank you for having me.
44
Clint is the Neil Patrick Harris of CEOs.
45
What?
46
Well, whoever you guys are, I just hope you're in here finding some old ways to keep things super inefficient.
47
You know of us.
48
Good, good.
49
I am very rich.
50
So, Pam, is this process going to give you too much to manage?
51
Not yet.
52
I'm hoping to increase my workload to 80 hours a week once this new system gets implemented.
53
One thing you and other executives can do to help, if I may, is to take even longer to provide feedback.
54
Maybe even forgot sometimes.
55
Happy to.
56
That way, the creative team will need to send me more emails asking for updates.
57
More emails, plus more hours.
58
Oh, and creatives.
59
One thing you can do to help create more unnecessary work is to send files
60
and formats that non-creatives for sure can't open.
61
Like .ai files.
62
What are those?
63
Speaking of files, here's how I suggest we go about naming different versions.
64
So the difference between final, final final, and for real final could be potentially confusing?
65
Yes.
66
Awesome.
67
F*ing genius.
68
With Zyflow, you wouldn't even have to worry about the wrong versions being sent to the wrong people at the wrong time.
69
And ultimately, the approval process and the creative improved dramatically.
70
And Pam, you could not only work normal hours, you could get your sanity back.
71
Because you'd have confidence that all of the assets are in the right people's hands.
72
Kim, as a project manager, it is my job to be overwhelmed, to be scattered, to be constantly needed by everyone involved.
73
I'm not sure Status Quo Inc is the right company for you. May I?
74
You're fired, Kim. So, I'm an intern.
75
Remember, I don't actually work here, but sorry I tried to help.
76
Hey Kim, give me a call.
77
I'd love to see what you're doing on Friday.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | have been approved · being sent · be overwhelmed |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | have been approved · It's been |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisión, una promesa o una predicción | I'll now turn · I'll never know · will I |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — algo que ocurre ahora o en estos días | I'm not seeing · I'm hoping · you're doing |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 21 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, you're, I'll. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: inefficient /ˌɪn.ɪˈfɪʃ.ənt/, redundancy /ɹɪˈdʌndən(t)si/, unnecessary /ʌnˈnɛs.əˌsɛɹ.i/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scatter /ˈskætɚ/, stakeholder /ˈsteɪkˌhəʊl.də/, streamline /ˈstriːmlaɪn/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vague /veɪɡ/, overdue /ˌoʊ.vəɹˈdu/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/, approve /əˈpɹuːv/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Empieza a velocidad 0,75×, haz shadowing frase por frase y vuelve a la velocidad normal cuando te resulte fácil.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como asset, feedback, inefficient.
¿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.
