The Show – has always been about enriching the learning experience in a fun and interesting way. Episode 57 is the launch of Season 5 and an introduction of a feature film to be released in November 2021. The film is for those of you who are also interested in photography – and is where we take a deep dive into 31 aspects – of learning and producing interesting images – through a 50mm lens. Filmed in Berlin on January 16, 2021 – the interview follows the same tradition of this whole podcast initiative – where "Living the Language" still means keeping your language by using it for real things – and things you like.

As a Trainer and Coach of English Language for Work - my goal is still to enrich the adult learning experience - in a fun and interesting way. Today we do it in German primarily because that is the native language of most of my course participants. Published as the second in June 2021 to commemorate Pride Month - and in celebration of inclusion, the episode dives into conversation on ideas and facts shared in a recently published book "Berufen statt zertifiziert – neues Lernen neue Chancen" by a dear friend and colleague of mine Anja – who dare I say shares at least some of the that values I do.

We converse with the rather daring idea – of accepting the different personalities (so to speak) that constitute the whole person in all of us and about recognising all of them – individually – perhaps as its own unique asset. A particularly rich conversation – that captures the essence of insight shared – between friends dear I say – all in keeping with the free authentic spirit of independent Podcasting. This Episode of the English Coach Podcast - like all the rest takes my usual relaxed accessible human approach – to your learning experience. So what's in it for you?! Myths – around using a shared language and examples of where in real life – things can in fact go wrong as a result of larger cultural differences. We explore specific instances – of using something that is usually seen as an uncomfortable challenge, instead as an opportunity to improve, an opportunity not only to inform but to also to communicate – and get what YOU want. We agree that awareness of all these factors could go on to reduce the stresses of remote work.

| your feedback - direct | ALL episodes | Preview - Course Participant Speaks It was in Episode 33 that we spoke briefly with Anna, on the notion of humble leadership. Very relevant at a time I think when everybody basically knows everything and it brings to my mind an old Jamaican proverb which translates to mean: "The higher a monkey climbs the more his backside is exposed." In German: „Je höher ein Affe klettert, desto mehr wird sein Hintern freigelegt." The very title that my guest - in the episode that we're previewing today - has chosen for himself – exemplifies a more humble and honest attitude. Our topics - grounded in the given authenticity personal experience – and fit well to the promise I always make – to take my usual relaxed accessible human approach – to your learning experience.

| your feedback - direct | episode shownotes | ALL episodes | Featured Guest: Jennifer Roch (link) In the first part of the interview we approach the questions: How to build bridges of understanding and agreement between all the parties involved in a training or coaching program?

Who gives you permission to be successful at your own target skill, and who gets to tell you who you are? In this the second half of Episode 29 we broach the questions: How is return on investment for training or coaching initiatives perceived? What is the value of these returns and how are they measured? What are some of the things that that help to form a practicing Leadership Coach? What is the current trend, as it relates to rethinking leadership and its role in facilitating motivation and fulfillment for employees? How do veritable contrasts coincide? ....

| your feedback - direct | episode shownotes | ALL episodes | It truly is with great pleasure that I'm able to launch Season Two of The English Coach Podcast - today. It is as I've acknowledged before, not always the easiest thing to put your voice out there – to the scrutiny and device of mass public media and I wanna quickly take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful people who've helped with season 1. When I started planning to do this Podcast, and got my first mic in May of 2019, I had no idea how far this would go – I said it. A media offering positioned, to add the icing on the cake so to speak – to my Overall Training Practice. Today we start in English then finish off in German – so please bear with my "accent". The only likeness of perfection that I would ever promise would be in my own language. The episode approaches answering the question "Who is it for?". The format - inspired by my old friend Johanna, and features again our beloved "protagonist" - this time embodied by the lovely and talented Steffi. It's episode 25 today – published for the most part with my German listeners in mind. Still no worries Episode 26 will also be published very soon, its already recorded - looking at Learning to Think in Your Target Language - after which for the whole of Season Two, I'll try to publish a show at least every two to three weeks on a Tuesday.

| your feedback - direct | episode shownotes | ALL episodes | We've all been affected, and the release of Season 2 has unfortunately been delayed. I do apologise for that. I have still however been diligently doing my part, and the entire series on SURVIVING it – consisting five Episodes to be exact – was dedicated to this – strange time in between seasons – that we've all been experiencing. We all need a little community right now – and I'm happy to be making 3 interesting announcements for you today – I'll make it quick. This extra somewhat spontaneous Trailer Episode 24 – self-sponsored and brought to you by none other than yours truly – is also in keeping with this community spirit. As you might know by now – This is not only where I give myself permission, to take a little more relaxed, accessible, human approach – but also where I take the chance to experiment. It's a short one, I promise, and I have an interesting surprise for you at the end of this Episode. One thing is clear, the aim of this Episode like all the rest – is to enrich your whole learning experience. This is not a traditional lesson today – but why not make the best of it? Since we know that English is not a phonetic language – for those of us also looking to improve our vocabulary and pronunciation – there's a full transcript of this Episode available in the ShowNotes – you can read along while you listen. This podcast initiative is also therapeutic for me, because it exemplifies now more than ever – what I've always called this "fresh and exciting democratisation of the learning experience" a song sung since Episode 1 in December of 2019. Now you can call it a mission, motivation a purpose for a little promise for my people, present and past course participants and of course for all the others of you who subscribe – for whatever value you derive. You get to choose even more now, from a larger number of sources, – including this one of course – all in service of your own learning experience. You still get a chance to experience immersion into the language in an interesting true to life way – and to keep the things you've learned. I always tell myself that I am doing this for my people because it's true – you know who you are. And I want to send another special shout-out to all my listeners again on Spotify. I know that there are some of you also on Apple and Google but truth be told, the Spotify listeners have to date been the most loyal and engaged. If you're on Apple Podcasts or on Google Podcasts – feel free to subscribe from there, no problem – share the show with a friend – or better yet share it with all of them =) It feels so much easier to be authentic when what you are doing is independent and free and the only advertising that you'll get here – is advertising from me. Anyway – I want to use this Episode 24 as I said to make a few announcements. Firstly – There is now a new category on my website for the top seven shows. These are the Shows that have to date, enjoyed the most downloads. Interestingly, the Episodes featuring what I call the free mini-lessons are getting more and more popular. That tells me that the format works. The ratings are updated with the publishing of every new Episode. You can always check out the latest show ratings at www.EnglishCoachPodcast.com. Secondly – officially – this is also the last trailer Episode – The NEXT Episode you hear will indeed be the long awaited Launch of Season 2. Truth be told – there won't be many changes in Season 2, as all of the feedback that I have received so far – some of which featured in Episode 17 – has been positive. The top three shows to date are Episode 16 on Prepositions, Episode 14 on Machine Assistance and Gender and Episode 3 on Business Presentations – Transitions for Fluency. The Third and last Announcement for the day is about the experiments – It is with great pleasure that I do declare – that the cherished insights of our very own – learned, long-time friend and associate the indomitable Sybille von Spitzen – will be featuring more prominently in the show. We have a new outfit for Season 2. As usual I speak for her and her performance speaks for itself. Her contributions were instrumental – in ensuring the obvious success of all the top three Episodes so far. This is actually me working with your feedback….. And I am also happy to announce that our beloved – Protagonist who featured in Episodes 3, 18 and again – in the upcoming Episode 25 – will also be joining us more often – that means that there will in Season 2, be a stronger focus on both mini-lesson AND the storytelling element. The colourful contributions of these "personalities" to the show have all been experimental – and all for you – and I am very happy – that they've all so to speak – committed to joining us on this long enough awaited learning journey – English Coach Podcast – Season 2 With a small win, is always a good Way to begin.

Of course it is of utmost importance that we all stay home right now, but it does not mean that it also has to be boring. Surviving it series There is indeed, absolutely no doubt about it, that we're all being affected – in different ways and in all senses of the word. Whatever the case we can all still learn from each other, and at this time – today, I actually want to invite you to share some of those unexpected positive aspects that you have experienced over that past few weeks. One thing is certain; we're all going through changes, challenges of all kinds – and this is not an attempt to trivialize the situation.

How will we actually deliver education online – for instance – also for tactile – hands-on disciplines such as the performing arts? How can we learn from the experience of others? As a Trainer or Coach, how to build rapport in this new scheme of things? What are the now even more pressing implications – and how does what I've always called "this fresh and exciting democratization of the learning experience" also play a part? What are some of the more positive aspects about this new paradigm within which we've all found ourselves?

| your feedback - direct | episode shownotes | supporting article DIY-English (DE) | all episodes | The Lived Experience - your showhost I couldn't help but notice that you have already started to react most to the story telling element of this Podcast based of course, on the episodes listened to, downloaded and shared most to date. Thank you for that. Now, truth be told, I am not a professional story teller. Your feedback, according to my expectations at least - shouldn't really be based on interest in my standard bla-bla about myself, I was expecting more questions about your learning experience…. Life is however full of paradoxes, and since this whole initiative is still intended to focus on learning experience, for what it's, worth I'll run with that – albeit unexpected interest based on the feedback I've received from you.
