В бизнес-английском часто встречаются два слова effective and efficient, которые иногда неправильно употребляют даже носители языка. Так вот:
👉Effective-эффективный, то,что принесёт результат
👉Efficient- действующий, целесообразный, имеющий наивысший КПД.
The 200-page instruction manual was effective [=successful] in understanding the details of the project, but it would have been more efficient [=faster and easier] for someone to show me how everything works

На конференц колле вы говорите на английском: делитесь мнением, делаете презентацию; замолкаете и не видите реакции 😒Возможно, вас не поняли. Проверить это можно с помощью фраз:
✔️Are we all on the same page?
✔️Have I made myself clear? (Более вежливо, чем "do you understand?")
✔️Are you following me?
Если же вас не поняли, вы можете предложить повторить с помощью следующих фраз:
✔️Let's go through that again
✔️I'd like to go over that again
✔️Are we all on the same page?
✔️Have I made myself clear? (Более вежливо, чем "do you understand?")
✔️Are you following me?
Если же вас не поняли, вы можете предложить повторить с помощью следующих фраз:
✔️Let's go through that again
✔️I'd like to go over that again

📞У вас были скайп-звонки без единной проблемы? Делимся полезными фразами, которые можно использовать для решения таких проблем:
✔️Are you still with us, John? ( in case John doesn’t react)
✔️Mark, can you speak up a bit please, it's hard to hear you. (in case somebody’s speaking too quietly)
✔️Could you speak more slowly please? (in case somedy’s speaking too fast- you can’t make it out)
✔️I’m afraid I didn’t get that. (in case you haven’t understood)
✔️Could you explain that in another way for me, please? (in case you want a person to rephrase, find different examples, etc)
✔️Tom here. I’m back on line again. (in case you had some troubles with the line, but it’s ok now)
✔️Can everyone please mute their lines when you're not speaking? (well.. this is quite self-explanatory)
Эти фразы станут отличной заменой классическим "I don't understand" и "repeat, please"👍

Давайте на примере некоторых фраз из презентаций Стива Джобса извлечем уроки идеальной презентации продукта:
✔️“This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for 2 and a half years….” Relax and enjoy it. Be happy to be there and say that you are. No jokes about things going badly.
✔️“Every once in a while…a revolutionary product comes along…that changes everything.” Take your time. You don’t need to finish a sentence in one breath. Even if you don’t need time to think, your audience will.
✔️Keep your visuals simple. Pictures and words are much better than words alone. Remembering the ‘rule of six’ (maximum of six lines per slide, six words per line) can be helpful here.
✔️“A wide-screen iPod with touch controls…a wide screen iPod with touch controls… ” repeat yourself – if it’s important, say it more than once and give people a chance to remember it.
✔️“Sort of like the baby internet…not so smart” Speak in simple language wherever possible. Do not assume that people have your vocabulary or understand the concepts that you consider simple. Many people will tell you they understand when they don’t. If your audience had your knowledge, you wouldn’t be doing the presentation.
✔️“Well…so” Signalling language will keep people attentive and orientated
✔️“Are you getting it?” Be interactive. Ask questions (even if you are going to answer them yourself) – it will get people’s attention
