L'histoire de tant de nos clients... Vous apprenez l'anglais à l'école, mais vous apprenez des listes de vocabulaire (dont une grande partie sont des mots que vous n'utiliserez jamais dans la vie quotidienne 😣 ) et des règles de grammaire qui n'en finissent pas. 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ? 😳 Puis, bien des années plus tard, vous changez d'emploi, vous êtes promu ou votre entreprise est rachetée par une société internationale, et vous vous retrouvez à devoir 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗿 à 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗿é𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗶𝘀, à 𝗻é𝗴𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗰 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 ou à 𝗽𝗿é𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝘁𝘀 à 𝗹𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻... en #anglais 😱 ! C'est pourquoi j'ai créé le 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁, pour que vous puissiez vous sentir plus à l'aise dans votre travail en anglais.

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 😁)
