La vidéo d'aujourd'hui n'est pas un conseil pour prendre la parole en #anglais, mais quelque chose que je voulais dire à tous ceux qui craignent de faire des erreurs et qui ont du mal à communiquer avec confiance J'ai repris des cours de piano en septembre après de nombreuses (très nombreuses 😬 ) années. Le professeur m'a demandé si je voulais participer à l'audition et j'ai accepté, même si je sais que jouer en public me stresse énormément. Le jour-J, j'ai commencé à jouer et c'était comme si mon cerveau était complètement bloqué. J'avais l'esprit vide. J'ai joué la première mesure, puis j'ai dû m'arrêter et recommencer depuis le début. Big fail! Ensuite, ça s'est mieux passé, ce n'était pas ma meilleure interprétation, mais ce n'était pas trop mal non plus. Mais j'ai remarqué que la plupart des autres musiciens avaient aussi le trac, et avaient fait des erreurs, joué de fausses notes ou raté des accords. And you know what ? Ce n'avait aucune importance. Ce qui comptait, c'était l'impression générale, la beauté de la musique et l'interprétation. J'ai vu tant de pianistes talentueux, c'était un plaisir de les écouter tous. Ca m'a fait penser à tous mes clients qui s'inquiètent de leurs erreurs en anglais, car c'est pareil : 𝗜𝗹 𝗻'𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗹 à 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 - 𝗰𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗰'𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹'𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗴é𝗻é𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗲. La beauté de la musique est une analogie de votre message. 𝗔𝘆𝗲𝘇 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱'𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 : 𝗱𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝗶 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮-𝘁-𝗶𝗹 ? 𝗗𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝘀 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲 𝗹'𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝘂𝗶 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘇 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗻é𝗲 ? _______________ If you'd like to work on your confidence and be more at ease in English, A Star Formation can help you. Book an appointment with me and let's discuss!

I'm really impressed Catherine C'est top, félicitations ! Et c'est tres beau 🥰
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 😁)
