1
One of the things that we have to remember, and I think young people don't realize this, is when someone gives you a shot, when they decide to put you on a stage and give you a microphone,
2
or if they give you a job, or if they open a door for you or make an introduction for you, you don't have to prove yourself because you've already been vetted.
3
Somebody else has already said, and you see this in new employees all the time.
4
You know, the company Chanel, like Chanel, they have this rule that I absolutely love,
5
that new senior executives are not allowed to speak in meetings for the first 90 days of their employment.
6
They want you to shut up and listen.
7
And the reason they do that is because new employees
8
so often feel they have to talk in every meeting to prove that you made the right choice to hire them.

Like, we know you're smart, we hired you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
