1
Today is Diversity Day, and someone's going to come in and talk to us about diversity.
2
It's something that I've been pushing, that I've been wanting to push for a long time, and corporate mandated it, and I never actually talked to corporate about it.
3
They kind of beat me to the punch.
4
Ah, the bastards.
5
At Diversity Today, our philosophy is about honesty and positive expectations.
6
We believe that 99% of the problems in the workplace arise simply out of ignorance.
7
You know what?
8
This is a color-free zone here.
9
Stanley, I don't look at you as another race.
10
Uh, see, this is what I'm talking about.
11
We don't have to pretend that we're colorblind.
12
Exactly.
13
We're not colorblind.
14
With more ignorance.
15
We're not colorblind.
16
No, with more ignorance.
17
Right, exactly.
18
Okay, can we steer away from gay people?
19
Uh, I'm sorry, it's an orientation, it's not a race.
20
Plus, a lot of other races are also intolerant of gays, so...
21
Paradox.
22
Well, we only have an hour.
23
Okay, why don't we just defer...
24
I'll think you'll save time.
25
Why don't we just defer to Mr. Um...
26
Mr. Brown.
27
Ah, oh, all right.
28
Okay, first test.
29
I will not call you that.
30
Well, it's my name.
31
It's not a test.
32
Okay?
33
At Diversity Today, we believe it's very easy to be a hero.
34
All you need are honesty, empathy, respect, and open-mindedness.
35
Excuse me.
36
Yeah.
37
I'm sorry, but that's not all it takes to be a hero.
38
Oh, great.
39
Well, what is a hero to you?
40
A hero kills people.
41
People that wish him harm.
42
Okay.
43
A hero is part human and part supernatural.
44
A hero is born out of a childhood trauma or out of a disaster.
45
that must be avenged.
46
Okay, um, you're thinking of a superhero.
47
We all have a hero in our heart.
48
I regret my actions.
49
I regret offending my coworkers.
50
I pledge to bring my best spirit of honesty, empathy, respect, and open-mindedness...
51
Open-mindedness, is that even a word?
52
Um, into the workplace.
53
In this way, I can truly be a hero.
54
Signed, Daffy Duck.
55
You call that diversity training?
56
I don't.
57
Were there any connections between any of us?
58
Did anyone look each other in the eye?
59
Was there any emotion going on?
60
No!
61
Where was the heart?
62
I didn't see any heart.
63
Where was my Oprah moment?

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
