Talk Your Way to the Top
Talk Your Way to the Top
Not speaking well can stop a career in midstream. Speaking poorly may grate on the ears of the listener, but seldom will well-mannered people tell you about it. Body language is also a powerful form of communication. Just turn on the television without the volume and you will be surprised at how another person's feelings are showcased through their body language and posturing.
In today's global marketplace, the ability to speak a foreign language is an invaluable skill and is a professional courtesy to those we interact with around the world. Familiarity with some foreign expressions is considered to be the mark of an educated person.
A few examples:
parlez-vous anglais..........French for "do you speak English"
s'il vous plait pardon/excusez-moi.........French for "please excuse me"
entre nous............a French expression for "between us"
yoroshika onegai shimasu...........Japanese for "pleased to meet you"
kanpai shimasu .............Japanese for "drink a toast"
buenas noches..........Spanish for "good evening"
como esta...........Spanish for "how are you"
habla usted ingles.........Spanish for "do you speak English"
buon giorno..........Italian for "good morning"
come si chiama..........Italian for "what is your name"
vorrei fare una prenotazione.........Italian for "I would like to make a reservation"
Memorizing a few expressions and words will give you the meet-and-greet skills and the ability to make a selection from a menu in French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Swahili.
Through my seminars and executive coaching, I have had the opportunity to interact with people from many cultures.
This has proven to be the highlight of my career.
