J'ai beaucoup de chance de travailler avec une super équipe de formatrices chez Aygen Training, qui sont là pour veiller à ce que les participants au programme "Anglais pour la communication professionnelle" atteignent leurs objectifs linguistiques et fassent de réels progrès, tout en s'amusant. Aujourd'hui je vous présente Annabel Saunders. Annabel est diplômée en littérature anglaise et possède une solide expérience du monde des affaires. Elle a travaillé pendant 10 ans dans les relations publiques et le marketing à Londres, en Australie et en Espagne, avant de décrocher le TEFL/TESOL pour devenir professeur d'anglais des affaires. Elle a mis au point des méthodes adaptées qui permettent de dispenser des cours personnalisés et de fixer des objectifs précis pour aider ses étudiants à travailler plus efficacement en anglais. Ce que dit une de nos clientes: "The weekly lessons with Annabel were a true nice moment and a very helpful one. I appreciated the ability of my teacher to fit to my needs." Merci Annabel 😊 #formationcontinue #apprendreanglais #teamwork

Last week I had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was flying back from Amsterdam to Nice after the Toastmasters international conference. Everything was as usual, until the pilot announced, “We’re going back to Amsterdam.” Everyone in the plane groaned. But then he added, “There’s an electrical fault which has affected the brakes and we don’t know if the back up braking system has been affected or not. We need to go back to Amsterdam to land on the longest runway possible. The crew will now prepare you for an emergency landing in 30 minutes.” The worst thing was that I could hear in the pilot’s voice that he was stressed. I looked at the crew’s faces and although they were calm, their faces showed that they were scared. The next 30 minutes were spent practising the brace position, removing all jewellery, glasses, tightening our seatbelts, learning how to open the emergency doors. We were told to study the safety card, which everyone did more intently than ever before! And like most of the other people on the plane, I was quietly worrying that we’d crash at the end of the runway and perhaps this was how I was going to die. We landed in brace position, with the crew shouting “brace for landing”. Luckily the emergency brakes worked 😅 If you’re expecting me to tell you that I have now changed my life for the better and I’m giving everything up to become a life coach… …I’m not 😆 I did say to myself, “Only trains from now on”, but I still had to get home and that involved two flights the next day. What I did realise was sometimes you have to give up control and put yourself in the hands of people who are trained for this. Also that after we landed, all the passengers were talking to each other, everyone was friendly and helpful. And when I saw some of my fellow passengers the next day, it’s like we were friends, bonded by this experience. And that made me think, why can’t we always create these human connections, even when we’re not in such an emotionally charged situation? So that is my resolution from this experience: make more human connections with everyone around me. (Photo taken from my flight home the next day: I’ve never been so happy to see the Îles Lerins 😁)
