1
When I first joined the board, I think I was very nervous about voicing my questions
2
or concerns or opinions because I was the newest person and everyone else around the table was more senior and more experienced.
3
And so I discounted what I might want to say.
4
The time frame between joining a board and becoming a more active member that's giving back has shortened.
5
Maybe we feel like we don't belong in that room when you're getting on some of those first boards, but you do.
6
I think the surprising thing is how everybody was very welcoming and also that not everyone knows everything.
7
You're not supposed to know everything.
8
Now that I've seen how Board Evolution works and I've seen how thoughtful we are about new members that we bring in,
9
I see that it's a very intentional process to pick people from different backgrounds, from different career paths, from different areas of expertise.
10
The companies that are looking for you are going to look for the skill sets
11
that you bring and it doesn't mean that you need to know everything.
12
It means you need to know what you know and bring that to the board.
13
If you're going to be on a board, we need your voice.
14
We need you to be active.
15
And so when I catch people sitting back, I try to catch that moment and try to pivot it as quickly as possible
16
so that the board can benefit and the organization can benefit.
17
You don't speak up and contribute your voice.
18
You're really depriving the whole company and the whole board of your contributions.
19
I would recommend new board members do is to be thoughtful, obviously be good listeners, but also be comfortable speaking up and asking questions
20
so that you can be an active participant and contributor from day one.

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 9 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 you're, don't, I've。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: contribution /ˌkɑntɹɪˈbjuʃən/, intentional /ɪnˈtɛnʃənəl/, shorten /ˈʃɔɹtn̩/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: contribution /ˌkɑntɹɪˈbjuʃən/, participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/, contributor /kənˈtɹɪb.jə.tɚ/, intentional /ɪnˈtɛnʃənəl/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: deprive /dɪˈpɹaɪv/, pivot /ˈpɪv.ɪt/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: discount /ˈdɪskaʊnt/, contribute /kənˈtɹɪb.jut/, expertise /ˌɛkspɜːˈtiːz/, participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/, deprive /dɪˈpɹaɪv/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 thoughtful, skill, belong 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
