【课程内容】Part 2 is about play. We are a bunch of people looking for creative solutions to workplace problems in a fun and interesting way. We will work individually or in groups to learn four skills: direct, write, speak, and act. DIRECT: Tudou.com has a famous tagline “everyone is your life’s director” (每个人都是生活的导演). You’re directing a play. Your bosses and co-workers are actors and actresses in your play but they don’t have to know it, only you know. This secret pleasure can get you excited and make you look forward to tomorrow, because you want to see how much of it will play out as you direct it, 50%, 60%, … if it’s a significant percentage, you will feel you’re in control of that day. You direct every workday like play and learn a very important skill, because if you can direct a day, you can direct a life. WRITE: record your ideas, if you don’t have any, steal! Steal other people’s ideas. SPEAK: script enriches content, adds depth to improv, it also boosts your confidence. ACT: improv allows you to speak on your feet, make you sound and look natural.

Brief Introduciton about Small Talk & Presentation skills part 2
Part 1 is 2/3 lecture and 1/3 practice. I feel 1/3 practice is not enough. We don’t speak good English because we don’t speak enough English. What I found from teaching Part 1 was
students were all too busy. They don’t practice after class. They have come to my class once a week, enjoyed the three hours, but done nothing after class. They have done enough reading, listening, and watching in class but not enough writing, speaking, and acting after class. They have taken in a lot (吃进去很多) but spit out very little (吐出来很少). They have had a good time but as someone described the relationship between English and her: it’s it, I’m me (它是它，我是我).
Part 2 is about doing it, all practice facilitated by me. I don’t expect students to do homework from the beginning. I assume zero practice on their own. But slowly I get them interested in what we do in class and form a habit of doing it after class, most importantly, at their workplace.
If you watched Office Space, you wouldn’t forget Peter Gibbons, a young programmer working at an IT company. He hated his work and went to see a shrink, who hypnotized him. The next morning he walked in the office in a happy mode. That interview he had with two consultants was a classic scene. When they asked him to describe his typical day, he was dead honest to say he spent every day staring at his computer screen to make him looked like he’s working. Then he said: The thing is, Bob, it’s not that I’m lazy; it’s that I just don’t care. (Bob: Don’t care?) It’s a problem of motivation, all right? The reality is most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough not to quit the job.
Only 5% of the people actually work the whole time. Most people work below their potential, in some cases, way, way below. So the key is to help them find the motivation and make them “want to do it”, to communicate with people at workplace and improve their relationships. I’ve interviewed some Chinese who are doing well in their careers in Canada. Without exception, they have good workplace relationships. It’s amazing when relationships are good, things like raise, recognition, and promotion start to fall into place and take care of themselves. But when relationships turn sour, it doesn’t matter what you do, you always hit a brick wall.
When you’re in the play mode, everything becomes easy. So let’s play, do it before you think too much, don’t try to be perfect, just play, and care less about the outcome. And creativity is something you already have, you just need to remove the mental blocks, and creativity will come out.
let’s play an improv game called “Yes, and …”. One has to say yes to everything the other says and add more to it. Can you and I get up, please? Remember when you leave your seat, you are a different person. Here’s the scene: It’s a hot sunny day. We’re two cowboys working in a ranch. We stand here facing each other with an imaginary fence between us. We talk as we paint the fence. Now you go first.
A What a hot and miserable day to do this paint work.
B Yes, and the boss said we won’t get water until we finish the fence.
A Yes, and isn’t he the meanest boss we’ve ever worked for?
B Yes, and he’s made me want to quit this job and go to San Francisco.
A Yes, and I’ll go with you to San Francisco.
B Yes, and I’ll make a fortune someday and come back and buy this ranch and make the boss work for me.
Confucius said it the best: You hear, you forget; you see, you remember; only if you do, you understand. So please join us, live and work every day like play, and succeed in business and life “without trying” or wait and struggle for another year – your choice.
