Que ressentez-vous à l'idée de prendre la parole en public en #anglais ? 😎 Pour certains d'entre vous, vous dites « pas de problème ». 😱 Pour d'autres, vous direz « no way José ». 😳 Et pour beaucoup d'entre vous, vous vous sentez très anxieux en pensant à toutes les fautes de grammaire que vous ferez. Vous avez peut-être essayé des cours d'anglais traditionnels pour vous sentir mieux à l'aise mais cela ne vous a pas aidé autant que vous le pensiez. Pourquoi ? 👉 Parce que vos auditeurs internationaux 𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘀 - 𝗲𝘁 𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘀 - que vous utilisez le présent parfait au lieu du passé simple ou que vous n'utilisez pas un large éventail de vocabulaire et de structures de phrases. 👉 Qu'est-ce qui vous aidera vraiment ? ✅ Pouvoir capter l'attention de vos auditeurs ✅ Savoir définir votre message de manière claire et précise ✅ Apprendre à répondre aux questions avec assurance ✅ Avoir l'air confiant dans votre langage corporel (même si ce n'est pas le cas). Si vous êtes inquiet à l'idée de prendre la parole en anglais, a𝗿𝗿ê𝘁𝗲𝘇 𝗱𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿 à 𝘃𝗼𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘇 à 𝗿é𝗳𝗹é𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘅 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 à 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗿 pour parler en toute confiance à un public international. (PS : c'est ce que nous faisons dans notre formation « optimiser vos prises de parole » ou dans nos sessions de #coaching. How about taking an appointment for a free consultation with me?) #prisedeparoleenpublic

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 😁)
