Hey Michael, I was just thinking about personal growth. What's one area you're keen to improve upon?
嘿,迈克尔,我刚才在想个人成长的事。你最想在哪方面有所提升?

That's a great question, Sarah. For me, it's definitely improving my public speaking skills. I tend to freeze up a bit when I'm in front of a large group.
这是个好问题,莎拉。对我来说,那肯定是提高我的公众演讲能力。我在大群人面前的时候会有点紧张。

Oh, I totally get that! It's a common one. Have you thought about specific ways to tackle it? Maybe joining a local Toastmasters club?
哦,我完全理解!这很常见。你有没有想过具体的方法来解决它?也许加入一个当地的Toastmasters俱乐部?

Michael (Male)
I've considered Toastmasters, yeah. Also, I'm thinking of just volunteering to present more often in smaller, less intimidating settings at work. Exposure therapy, you know?
我考虑过Toastmasters,是的。我还在想,是不是应该在工作中小规模、不那么吓人的场合更频繁地自愿做演示。暴露疗法,你懂的?

That's a smart approach! Incrementally building up confidence. For me, I really want to master time management. I feel like I'm constantly juggling too many things.
那是个聪明的方法!循序渐进地建立信心。对我来说,我真的很想掌握时间管理。我感觉自己一直在忙太多事情。

Time management is a tough one. Have you tried the Pomodoro Technique or something similar? Breaking tasks into focused chunks?
时间管理是个难题。你有没有试过番茄工作法或类似的方法?把任务分成专注的小块?

I've dabbled with Pomodoro, but I need to be more consistent. I'm also planning to use a time-tracking app to really see where my hours are going. Awareness is key, right?
我试过番茄工作法,但我需要更持之以恒。我还打算用一个时间追踪应用来真正看看我的时间都花到哪里去了。意识是关键,对吧?

Absolutely, awareness is half the battle. Good luck with both of our goals! Maybe we can check in with each other next month?
没错,意识就是成功的一半。祝我们俩的目标都好运!也许我们下个月可以互相汇报一下进展?
