MASTER THE ART OF PRESENTATION: Start with a Villain

2 Replies

💥TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES

💥Many executives start presentations about products or initiatives with a vague theme statement, often expressed with as much pith as a puff of smoke: “We have a new focus on customer satisfaction,” or “Our current strategic goals are execution and innovation.” But this approach is not only lacking but lackluster. Did Shakespeare begin Hamlet by saying “This is a play about indecision”? Of course not.

💥Villains in business often aren’t animate. In the mind of the consumer, even mere frustration is a recognizable evil. Or the villain could be a transaction that is incomplete or unsatisfying (anything from a faulty product to cold coffee or warm ice cream). The victim is the customer or the person whose problem you’re trying to solve. And doing so will make your company or team the hero.
💥This villain-victim-hero framework can be applied across many industries.

Mastering Your Unique Selling Proposition: What It Is, Why You Need One And How To Write Your Own

1 Reply

Topics for our business English classes

It’s tough for all brands to stand out in the market.

People are savvy and take the time to learn about and weigh their choices before making a purchase. If you want to get their business, your brand needs to stand out. Unique selling proposition, or USP, is what a brand says about their product or service that makes it better or different from others on the market. To focus your sales efforts, you need to know what makes your brand different in a market full of brands that are all the same.

It takes work and imagination to figure out what your USP is. Not many brands are truly one-of-a-kind, but the ones that are find a way to show what makes them special and set themselves apart from others. For instance, Apple doesn’t sell tech tools; it sells new ideas. Robinhood is not selling a product for the very rich; it is selling a way for everyone to get rich. Patagonia is selling more than just clothes. They are selling a cause, a way of life, and an effect.

“Based on our interactions, what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself?”

1 Reply

I asked the AI (Perplexity) the trending question: “Based on our interactions, what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself?” and these are the answers:

Discovering Hidden Insights
While I don’t have access to personal data or specific interactions, I can help you reflect on aspects of yourself that you might not have considered. Here are a few areas to explore:

1. Strengths in Communication

You may possess a unique ability to articulate your thoughts clearly, which can be a valuable asset in both personal and professional settings. Consider how you express your ideas and whether others often seek your opinion.

2. Resilience in Challenges

You might underestimate your resilience. Reflect on past challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve navigated them. Recognizing your ability to bounce back can empower you in future situations.

3. Curiosity and Learning

Your questions and interests may reveal a deep-seated curiosity. This trait can lead to continuous personal growth and a rich understanding of the world around you.

4. Empathy and Understanding

If you often find yourself tuning into others’ feelings, you might have a strong sense of empathy. This quality can enhance your relationships and make you a supportive friend or colleague.

5. Creative Problem-Solving

You may have a knack for thinking outside the box when faced with obstacles. Consider how you approach problems—your creativity could be a hidden strength.

I use Perplexity for research and Invideo for my video content.

BUSINESS ENGLISH: What is a Certificate of Incorporation?

1 Reply

When forming a C Corporation, business owners need to file for a Certificate of Incorporation (sometimes referred to as Articles of Incorporation) to register their company with the state. What is a Certificate of Incorporation exactly? It is a legal document serving as a formal record of a company’s formation.
Who Needs to Submit a Certificate of Incorporation?
Entrepreneurs who want to operate their company as a corporation must file a Certificate of Incorporation form.

They must have their Certificate of Incorporation approved by the state (usually the Secretary of State Office) before they can conduct certain activities in the business name. Some examples include:

Open a corporate bank account
Apply for business licenses and permits
Hire employees
File taxes.

7 Top SEO Trends for 2025!

1 Reply

AI-written and Human-researched

As we approach 2025, several key trends are poised to shape the landscape of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Here are the most significant developments to watch:

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
AI will continue to revolutionize SEO strategies, enhancing keyword research, content creation, and user engagement. Search engines like Google are integrating AI capabilities to improve search results and user experiences, making it essential for marketers to adapt their strategies accordingly.

Voice Search Optimization
With the rise of smart speakers and virtual assistants, optimizing for voice search is crucial. This involves focusing on natural language processing and long-tail keywords to cater to conversational queries. As more users rely on voice-activated devices, aligning content with these search behaviors will be vital.

Local SEO Focus
Local SEO will gain prominence as mobile usage continues to rise. Businesses must optimize for location-based keywords and ensure their Google My Business listings are accurate. This trend emphasizes the importance of appearing in local search results, particularly for foot traffic-oriented businesses.

Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals
Technical SEO will play a critical role in user experience, with Google’s Core Web Vitals becoming increasingly important. Metrics such as loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability will directly influence rankings, necessitating a focus on website performance.

Video and Visual Search Optimization
The importance of video content is set to increase, with platforms like YouTube becoming integral to SEO strategies. Optimizing video content for search visibility and ensuring high-quality visuals will be essential as users increasingly turn to video for information.

Zero-Click Searches
The prevalence of zero-click searches—where users find answers directly in search results without clicking through—means that content must be tailored to appear in featured snippets or “People Also Ask” sections. This requires a focus on clear, concise information that directly addresses user queries.

Social Media Signals
Social media’s influence on SEO will grow, as strong brand presence on platforms like Instagram and TikTok can enhance authority and drive traffic. Engaging with audiences through social media can complement traditional SEO efforts and improve overall visibility.
.
These trends reflect the evolving nature of SEO as it adapts to technological advancements and changing user behaviors. Businesses that stay ahead by integrating these strategies into their marketing efforts will be better positioned for success in 2025 and beyond.

Tips For Job Seekers

1 Reply

I reiterate my previous statement:
I would not recommend anyone undertake work that requires more than 3 hours to complete. I’ve noticed that companies that require these types of extremely complex tasks tend to engage in extensive recruitment. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it appears that they view LinkedIn as an untapped source of free resources, exploiting the eagerness and desperation of applicants to secure employment. Which is highly unethical.
So, in conclusion, if you have a stellar CV and a wonderful portfolio, there is no need to prove yourself more by working tirelessly for free.

I am not the typical job seeker; I sometimes apply for (part-time) positions to gain insight into a certain field of interest to me and to help my students, whom I train, to render stellar performance in job interviews. 

One time, I applied because I loved the field and didn’t mind the extra work. I am an overachiever.
They requested a fully developed marketing strategy and an editorial plan for social media, which comprised articles and posts for one month. 
This entailed a full week of work and extensive research. I did this because I loved the job. And to my surprise, I received no feedback. Later, I saw my ideas shared on their website and social media accounts. Their claims of being ethical and respecting their employees astonished me, as I do not believe they treat their employees better than applicants. 

Within two months, I have noticed a new job posting for this role in this company. 

Conclusion
Focus on all activities that can enhance and validate your experience and skills.
Rewrite your CV and Cover letter
Rework your LinkedIn profile
Update your Portfolio.
If that is possible, ask for referrals and move on.

If you need help, I am here.

Can you provide some examples of medieval literature that are still popular today? What sets these works apart from others in terms of their continued relevance?

Leave a reply

Beowulf

Beowulf, heroic poem, the highest achievement of Old English literature and the earliest European vernacular epic. The work deals with events of the early 6th century, and, while the date of its composition is uncertain, some scholars believe that it was written in the 8th century. Although originally untitled, the poem was later named after the Scandinavian hero Beowulf, whose exploits and character provide its connecting theme. There is no evidence of a historical Beowulf, but some characters, sites, and events in the poem can be historically verified. The poem did not appear in print until 1815. It is preserved in a single manuscript that dates to circa 1000 and is known as the Beowulf manuscript (Cotton MS Vitellius A XV).

Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.

The movie The 13th Warrior (1999) is based on Michael Crichton’s novel and of course, on the tale of Beowulf.

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight
(Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, Middle English alliterative poem of unknown authorship, dating from the second half of the 14th century (perhaps 1375). It is a chivalric romance that tells a tale of enchantment in an Arthurian setting. Its hero, Sir Gawayne (Gawain), is presented as a devout but humanly imperfect Christian who wins a test of arms, resists temptation by a lord’s wife, but succumbs to an offer of invulnerability.

The Green Knight, a movie from 2021, was based on it.
