Aus deiner psychotherapeutischen Sicht – warum reagieren so viele Deutsche skeptisch bis ablehnend auf die Corona-SchutzImpfung?
Das Problem ist vielleicht, dass Ergebnisse der Corona-Forschung in den Medien als etwas feststehendes, unumwerfliches – präsentiert und verstanden werden. Wie ordnest du diese Informationen für dich ein?
Alle Menschen sind von der Corona-Pandemie betroffen. Wie ist dein persönlischen Blick?
Könnte es sein, dass es besser wäre, anstelle von Ehre oder Moral das Eigeninteresse anzusprechen?
Wie können wir in der Zukunft „mit Corona leben“ ohne unnötige Ängste zu entwickeln?
Wie sieht DEIN persönlicher positiver Ausblick aus?
“The English Coach Podcast – never intentionally takes a prescriptive, patronizing, or condescending stance to the adult learning experience, but is rather driven by inclusiveness – of people, approaches, personal experiences thoughts and ideas. This show episode is neither a formal lesson nor a substitute for such but aims to supplement the adult learning experience in a true-to-life way. The show is independent and self-sponsored – brought to you by me – a practicing language Trainer / Coach – and draws on a whole gamut of tools and tips in support of providing information, entertainment and what I like to call sustainable language acquisition in an authentic, relatable, and vastly collaborative – human way.“
English Coach Podcast – Living the Language – iAntonio
Thanks for listening, looking forward to hearing from you and bye for now.
We all find ourselves in the middle of an interesting and rather challenging time. None of us knows for sure what the future will bring. I am a trainer of adults, podcaster and a photography enthusiast, and I have chosen to use my media to accentuate the positive. We all need a little community right now.
The aim of this – independent podcast is as always the same – to offer the occasional lesson, hopefully a bit of insight and inspiration, through stories, useful context – and conversation. The Podcast is for, anyone looking to learn, improve or most importantly to keep their language skills by inviting YOU to experience immersion into the language through engagement with real things and real people – right here and right now.
In today’s Episode we listen to the diverse insights of – Anja, Jennifer, Christian, Dominika, Philip and Mark – a direct follow-up to my request in the previous Episode 21 – and I am ever grateful to all of them for sharing. (my views)

My Lens – as at May 3, 2020
Alright now since we’re coming to the end, I think it would be unfair to not mention the things that I see as the unexpected positives arising from the crisis. But first – I wanna take this opportunity again – to thank all the – generous souls who were brave enough to share with us today. Let it be known that I always do proper justice to my guests. There’s much more to these individuals, and they are themselves as real as it gets, so please be sure, to check out their credentials in the shownotes for this episode. It’s not the easiest thing to willingly – run the risk of appearing to some perhaps, to be taking an unyielding position in changing times – to publishing reflections to the scrutiny and device of mass public media. To run the risk of coming across as moralising or as if you are in some way the source of all answers – when that is not at all the intention. For the record, nothing here is cast in stone – and we all have permission to change our perspectives especially now with the changing times. I did not want this to be all about me – It never has been, and this is why I always invite positive constructive contributions from everyone who wants to give meaning to their sentiments. I always encourage my listeners acknowledge the subjectivity of this discourse – and to check other sources. I also want to categorically state that while we do in fact share a single stage today – there is no automatic endorsement of any views here expressed by any party involved. My views are as follows.
I think that Nothing brings people together better than a shared crisis. I cannot speak for everywhere, but there is a greater sense of solidarity on the streets.
A better Sense and proportion as to the things we need, and the things we don’t.
We have a better grasp of what essential means not only in terms of consumption generally, but also services – the performance of nurses, postal workers, truck drivers, care givers – and all these people who we sometimes take for granted… the list is endless.
We all have a better idea now of the value of the service that teachers provide. This is not necessarily all about me – I am a Trainer of adults – Right now I’m talking about the people who educate, and tolerate all sorts of things from our children – daily – while we work. These sentiment is echoed again and again – still budgets for education globally it appears – are always shortened – one is left to ask could that be by accident or by design.
Whatever the case we all have a better idea now – not only how essential the service is to the system – but also of what ignorance or simply lack of education can cause – as we can all now be touched equally and in a real way by someone who is in this context – less educated than they could be. Maybe our attitudes will change for the better.
We can work with each other. Even among tech giants – Apple and Google – arch rivals are as we speak working together on proximity tracking technology – in support of the crisis. There are some interesting issues of privacy that are being called out yes – but that is beyond the scope of this episode. .
There is enough welfare in the world to give something back to the people. And this doesn’t just go for the Governments, but also the Private Sector – Just Look at all the free stuff that is being given away now. Where did it all come from we might ask? We will all have a better sense of perspective going forward.
We now have an indisputable example of what exactly we can avoid by having a little more respect for the natural world.
The air is cleaner. Less – less pollution. There is of course the risk that levels of pollution and the like will go up more even more after all of this – when the “deniably predatory” drive of industry and rampant consumerism find their form again. We’ve always had problems understanding what environmental consciousness is worth, now we know what a lack thereof can cost.
On a lighter note – we can learn from others – there are others in the world who have been through similar things. We can use the time to reflect, rediscover lost talents, and try out new things. I for one am increasing my own internet presence. Full power with the whole gamut of my media engagement. This Podcast is a part of it – The initiative started about a year ago…
I have been an online trainer for a long time, officially since 2014 to be exact. IT’S ACTUALLY A LITTLE SAD that it took a crisis to get some people to see that the approaches work, and It’s no secret, that the online / remote Training Approach has for years – endured it’s fair share of rejection, ridicule or even scorn in some spheres. I think it is good – that remote Training approaches will now – perhaps – enjoy a little less resistance and a little more credibility going forward.
Last but not least, there was a time when I almost took it personally – or as another friend put it – I cared too much about the fact that people seemed to use social media only for rubbish. I also ranted a lot about how people use emojis – in retrospect however they are essential supplements to remote communication – in the absence of body language, gestures and the like. I think that now more of us have a better idea of what the internet is worth – how essential it is – and the higher values that we can use its capabilities to articulate.
So there we have it, take from it what you will. Again thank all the generous individuals who’ve shared their insights with us today. As always – this show draws from what I like to call “The Lived Experience”… None of us is a virologist – but all of us are normal REAL, living breathing accessible and unpretentious human beings – sharing a bit from their own “Lived Experience”. Still – Don’t just take our words for it…..

Today’s guest is truly a man of many talents, and a friend of mine. In Today’s conversation we merely approach the depths. The limits of the few lines shared here in this forum would never be enough. Be sure to check out the works at www.AlexanderKlebe.de for a deeper feel.
This is yet another trailer episode – 22 – of the English Coach Podcast. It is intended to help to enrich the whole learning experience of my participants. Deliberately personal – the Podcast-initiative offers tips and tools and insights into real true-to-life success stories, and articulates my ongoing commitment to a more inclusive, accessible, pragmatic, honest approach to the whole adult learning experience. I invite you to give meaning to the things you think about the show – by sharing it in the comments or by using the feedback form – here.
Episode 21 SURVIVING it – Inviting Your Voice on the Positives.
Shownotes: English Coach Podcast – Living the Language
I am inviting you to share your thoughts on the unexpected positive effects of self-isolation in this time – for an upcoming Podcast Episode. (DE) Ich lade Euch ein, Eure Gedanken über die unerwarteten positiven Auswirkungen der Selbstisolierung in dieser Zeit mitzuteilen – für eine bevorstehende Podcast-Episode.
“Natürlich ist es jetzt äußerst wichtig, zu Hause zu bleiben, aber es muss nicht auch langweilig sein.”
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.
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. This is me doing what I can… So from a more positive standpoint, this is also a time when we get to try-out new things, and freely share these experiences to help others – there is no better time.
Check out the last episodes 20, 19, and 17 of the English Coach Podcast, and feel free to send your own personal thoughts on those positive aspects in – whatever they might be. It’s easy, just use your phone, record it, and send it in to host[@]EnglishCoachPodcast.com or check out the feedback page at www.TrainingTree.de/podcast Check out the instructions in this message (below).
I am looking forward to hearing from you, take care of yourselves now, wash your hands – listen to the relevant authorities and – bye for now.
Episode 20 SURVIVING it – Remote Work , Friends & Family, Tools & Tips that help now.
Shownotes: English Coach Podcast – Living the Language
We are all going through a rather difficult time right now. And on this day April second 2020 – I have decided to focus on a positive message – SURVIVING it. This episode 20 is being published today from Berlin, and we are also affected. We all should of course take heed to the advice of the relevant authorities thinking not only of ourselves – but also of the larger society.
Needless to say there is prevailing sense of loss, fear and uncertainty. However I have chosen today to take a positive outlook. To focus on the things we do know and the things we do have – now – on some of the things that will help us to get to where we want to be. What if this affliction were one those that also affected the internet – so vital a communication tool right now?
In charting a way forward, I’d invite all of us to also look at the positive more uplifting aspects, as they do exist today. The ones that do as we speak help us to share the burden and learn from each other. It’s neither within the my scope, authority nor experience to speak to all of these things, only a few – and I want to first thank Sasha for helping me to use the tools that I have today to do just that.

Sasha Bondaris a software developer with over 15 years of experience. During his career Sasha has held different roles in the area of software development – as consultant – and in education and business. First of all, Sasha is a software developer – he codes a lot and loves it – so much so that he’s currently building an online learning platform on Telegram to teach the Go programming language – interesting fact, he will himself, learn Go along with students 😉
Sasha has also delivered many company courses – where
he’s taught and inspired more than a hundred students to code in Ruby.
In the capacity of interim CTO Sasha has helped many customers to build scalable software products, establish remote teams and work processes. He sees himself as a Developers’ advocate. He currently works for a company which he co-founded called REINTECH – bridging the gap between developers and other companies. It’s a hiring platform where firms companies or projects abroad – can access and hire highly skilled software developers from Eastern Europe. At REINTECH – he is chiefly responsible for building a developers community, and helping developers to find their first job on the platform. He also offers consultancy to customers, on how to build a verifiably productive remote team of developers.
At this moment – Sasha, like most software engineers
in the world, works from his home in Lviv – doing coding and other work
routines he combines with playing with his daughter Zoe.
Purpose
All things considered, this episode today takes a more positive outlook. It presents and exemplifies working – and currently relevant language in use. The content today should be interesting to software developers and the like. Relevant to anyone remotely interested in exploring the possibilities that remote work provides. And last of all it should be helpful to anyone looking to improve their English skills through real conversation on true-to-life themes – that are of interest to them.
Key-phrase overview
Success story – example of a diversely mixed project team – cognitive and geographical diversity,
Quality control, preparation, workflows, speed, communication modes, meetings, on-boarding,
Time management, routine, working environment, human interaction,
Video stress – too much conferencing,
Do all forms of virtual communication have to feel like presentations?
How does more spontaneous informal communication take place?
Body language – reactivity – more hand gestures emojis, more than just a head in the frame,
Level of engagement and energy, knowledge of what is going on, on a social level, regular check-ins, informal communication,
Communication tools vs. task tracking tools,
Thinking about what mode of communication works best for what kind of content (email / video / chat / telephoning / and in person) – what works best each time for what things. Balancing out communication modes.

Shownotes: English Coach Podcast – Living the Language
How will we facilitate the process at scale?
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?
Will it again be the same old wisdom – founded on humanity, shared interests and inclusiveness – focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses – that again takes us forward in this trying time?
