J'aimerais vous parler de Marc, un génie des relations publiques. Il me dit toujours que son #anglais n'est pas à la hauteur, qu'il fait trop de fautes de grammaire, que tout le monde dans son bureau parle mieux anglais que lui... Oui, il fait des fautes de grammaire et peut-être que son anglais n'est pas aussi bon que celui de certains de ses collègues. Mais lorsque nous mettons en pratique ce qu'il fait dans son travail : accueillir des clients lors d'un événement, les mettre à l'aise, échanger avec différentes personnes... 𝗶𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 ! Oui, il fait quelques erreurs. Non, sa conjugaison n'est pas parfaite. Mais qu'importe ? 𝗦𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺ê𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁. Ses clients se sentent accueillis et valorisés. Et n'est-ce pas là l'objectif ? Ceci m'amène à mon 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻° 𝟯 : 𝗹𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 à 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗶𝘀. C'est un mythe que je vois tous les jours, même chez les locuteurs de niveau avancé. 𝗟𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗻'𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲. C'est ce que je crois, et c'est ce que nous croyons chez A Star Formation. Nous sommes là pour vous aider à renforcer votre confiance, à vous sentir à l'aise pour prendre la parole et vous donner les clés d'une excellente #communication en anglais.

Je suis parfois Marc, évidemment, Catherine ! Mais grace à toi, ça a beaucoup changé !
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 😁)
