3-minute talk by a conference speaker

Hello, everyone. My name is ○○○.
I’m 40 years old, and I often look back on my life and think that I’m halfway through it.
I’ve made a lot of choices in my life, some of which I’ve tried to take responsibility for, and some of which I’ve tried to turn away from because the weight of them is overwhelming. How about you?
We are faced with choices many times a day. From waking up in the morning and wondering, “Should I sleep in?” to driving to work and wondering, “Should I take the bus or the subway? Or should I take my car?” on the way to work. Every day is a series of choices.
Think about the choices you’ve made from this morning until now. What I want to talk about today is the importance of the choices we face in life and the responsibility they bring.
Let me give you an example that’s a little extreme. We often hear about the recent rise in suicide rates and how society has become so desperate. What goes through the mind of someone who chooses to take their own life? We may not be able to understand it 100%, but one thing is clear: they made a choice between “I want to die” and “I want to live”.
People around them have many different opinions about why they made that choice. There’s a lot of debate about whether it’s a societal issue or a person’s responsibility, but the most important thing is that they chose to die. Choices have consequences, and they are ultimately responsible for those consequences.
As sobering as this story may sound, the message of this extreme example is simple: life is a series of choices, and the responsibility for those choices is yours alone.
We surround ourselves with a wide variety of people, all with different ideas and standards, and it’s rare to find someone who has “the same common sense as me.” But there is one common sense that I believe in.
“If you make a choice, live with the consequences.”
Friends, I invite you to take this time today to reflect on your past, design your future, and ask the question.
“How much responsibility am I taking for my life?”
If you want to live a life that you love and cherish, and that others respect, I encourage you to ponder the meaning of choice and responsibility.
Thank you so much to those of you who braved the cold to attend.
Thank you.

Pediatric Parent Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
Do you know the books My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult and Twin Stars by ○○○?
The story I want to share with you today begins with these two works.
The novel begins when a couple’s two-year-old daughter, Kate, develops promyelocytic leukemia.
The couple selects an embryo that would be an ideal donor, implants it using in vitro fertilization, and gives birth to a baby sister to help her older sister.
The younger sister gives her cord blood to her older sister a month after birth, and at age five, blood is drawn from her arm to collect lymphocytes.
When she gives her bone marrow, she has to endure the pain of a needle in her hip bone after general anesthesia, and she spends most of her time in the hospital as her sister’s illness keeps coming back.
She loves and sympathizes with her sick sister, but her heart is heavy as she watches her parents cling to Kate and take her sacrifice for granted.
When Kate’s condition worsens again, doctors recommend a kidney transplant.
Informed that she could die of kidney failure within days if she doesn’t get a kidney, her parents naturally think of her sister’s kidney.
But the younger brother, now 13 years old, goes to a lawyer with $137.87 he’s saved up and files a lawsuit to stop his parents from forcing him to donate his kidney.
A parent’s heart goes out to their sick child.
Watching them go through grueling treatments and painful surgeries is heartbreaking,
and endless self-pity and anguish, wondering why this is my child and what I did wrong.
Yet every child is precious to us.
The joy of a child’s first laugh, the excitement of their first tooth, the first time they call you “mommy,” has nothing to do with their health.
But the chill in the air at dawn after holding a sick child in your arms all night,
or the deepening of a child’s eyes as they mature after a night of illness.
In the end, through all of this, parents hope that their child will come out the other side a little stronger and more mature.
For children growing up in love, the pain of a sibling hurts, whether directly or indirectly.
Therefore, parents need to be attentive and give constant attention to touch every child’s heart and make sure that no child feels left out.
Thank you for listening.

Speaker’s 3-minute speech

In his work “The Old Man and the Sea,” American writer Ernest Hemingway said.
“Man may be ruined, but he is not defeated. It is undesirable to think about defeat.”
In “The Old Man and the Sea,” Hemingway, a writer of action and struggle, borrowed the story of a fisherman, a marlin, and a shark to express his view of life. The protagonist, an old man, catches a huge marlin and ties it to his boat, only to be torn apart by sharks on the way back, leaving him with nothing but bones.
But importantly, the old man doesn’t see this as a defeat; he takes deep satisfaction in the fact that he fought the giant marlin alone and won, and the sharks are irrelevant to that satisfaction. The old man praised himself for fighting with all his mind and strength, and felt proud of himself.
The old man would also have felt deep affection for the marlin with whom he had fought: “You were a brave opponent who stood up to me, not a shark trying to take what belongs to others, so you are not defeated either.” The old man would have shown respect to the marlin.
In modern society, only those who are successful are considered winners, and those who are not are considered losers. In Korean society, in particular, success is often equated with rising to the top, and it is considered the only value. However, this success has nothing to do with an individual’s character. The value of a person’s character cannot be judged by their visible success, and what is truly important is a society in which an individual’s character maturity, ideals, hobbies, and individuality are respected.
Rather than obsessing over visible achievements and results, we should create an environment where we can fully utilize our individuality and talents, and that is the only way we can live with true happiness.

Mountain Club Opening Ceremony – President’s 3-minute speech

Hello, I’m ○○○, the president of the Mountain Club.
Today is a momentous day for our club as we take our first historic step.
Although we are still a young club, we look forward to making many memories and history with you in the future.
I’m here to greet you not only to celebrate the launch of the affinity group, but also to say a few more important things.
We’re here to have fun and be energized.
We want this to be an opportunity to socialize and energize our lives.
But as energizing as it is, hiking is also an activity that carries risks.
Therefore, we ask that you follow a few basic principles to ensure a safe and enjoyable activity without untoward incidents.
First, wearing the right gear is essential.
Please make sure you have the basic equipment, such as hiking shoes, a backpack, a hat, and hiking clothes. Neglecting to do so can put you at great risk in the event of an accident.
Second, food intake is very important while hiking.
Mountaineering requires a lot of energy, so you need to eat frequently to avoid getting tired.
The basic principle is “eat before you’re hungry, drink before you’re thirsty”. Eating small snacks in between walks or when you take breaks will help you recover your energy.
Third, pace yourself.
It’s important to control your speed and intensity and not push yourself too hard.
If you get tired or feel unwell, let your club leader know immediately.
Also, rest breaks should be short and efficient; resting too long can cause muscles to stiffen, so it’s best to get back into motion before your sweat cools.
Fourth, keep your pack light and efficient.
Don’t forget the essentials, like first aid supplies, a flashlight, and trash bags, but keep frequently used items in pockets or at the top of your pack for easy access.
By following these basic principles, you’ll be well on your way to a safe and enjoyable hike.
We look forward to seeing you out and about in the mountains.
Thank you.

Seminar instructor 3-minute speech

Dear employees,
I’m going to talk to you today about positioning your attractiveness.
How have you been judged by others in your social life?
Let’s do a quick survey right now.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been called “snarky”.
How many of you have been called “kind”?
How many of you have heard the word “humble”?
Aside from simple physical descriptors like “pretty,” “handsome,” and “cool,” these are the impressions that others have of you, and the impressions that are formed, that are part of your charm and personality.
Have you ever asked yourself, “How do I appear to others?”
We’ve all felt envious when we see someone with a confident and attractive image, a sophisticated and inclusive image, or an elegant and intelligent image.
But attractiveness doesn’t happen overnight.
It’s something that’s shaped over time through socialization, refined through education and experience, and developed through trial and error.
As the famous American psychologist Floyd Allport once said, “Within 30 seconds of meeting someone for the first time, you form an image of them.”
This first impression plays a crucial role in social interactions, as it becomes the basis for interpreting or ignoring subsequent information.
So how do you create a compelling first impression and image?
As you know, a good image takes a lot of work.
The most important thing is the right perception of yourself in order to express your personality and attractiveness.
It’s the harmony and balance between your outer and inner beauty that will create the most attractive image for others.
It’s not about emphasizing one aspect over the other, but rather a natural harmony between all aspects of your personality, both external and internal.
So there you have it, a brief overview of how to position your attractiveness.
But the most important thing is to practice what you know.
I want you to be the kind of employee who doesn’t just think about it in your head, but who puts your good image into action.
This concludes my presentation, thank you.

Bacterial Research Seminar Speaker 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone,
My name is ○○○, and I’m a bacteriology researcher.
The leaves are falling, winter is coming, and the cold weather is here. In such weather, ventilation in the home is even more important. However, many people are hesitant to ventilate because they feel chilled when they open the window even a little.
Ventilation is essential in the winter, too, because the colder and drier the weather, the more fine particulate matter is blown around the room. This fine dust carries a variety of germs.
But some of the germs we recognize are actually good for us. These are bacteria.
Many people think of bacteria as harmful, but bacteria don’t just spoil food or cause disease. In fact, bacteria help us in many ways.
For example, bacteria are useful in producing perfumes or baking bread. They are also essential in agriculture, where they play an important role in making fatty cheeses, butter, and yogurt. Bacteria are also used to make animal feed and some pesticides, and they are indispensable in vaccine manufacturing.
As you can see, bacteria are far from stereotypical and are useful in many different fields. Harnessing the full potential of bacteria will be an important challenge for us.
I hope you will continue to pay attention to the potential of bacteria for beneficial utilization.
Thank you.

3-minute speech by a lecturer in a course on life psychology

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all of you for this course on life psychology.
Today we’re going to be talking about the ability to build empathy between people. Did you know that empathy takes skill and effort?
The ability to constantly try to understand how another person thinks and feels, to put yourself in their shoes, is called “Theory of Mind” in psychology. It’s the ability to infer what’s going on in another person’s mind and anticipate their next move based on your own beliefs, wishes, and intentions, and it’s separate from IQ.
In other words, you can be highly intelligent, but if you lack theory of mind, you’ll have trouble understanding or caring about other people’s perspectives. Not surprisingly, you’re also more likely to have problems in interpersonal relationships.
Theory of mind is generally thought to be a better-developed skill in women, which is why, to men, when they see women communicating and getting along with others so smoothly, it all seems genuine.
For example, a husband who sees his wife being nice to his in-laws during the holidays may assume that she likes them, but that’s because men lack empathy, which prevents them from looking deeper into the other person’s mind.
When they later learn the truth of the relationship, some men may lose trust and develop preconceived notions about women.
Empathy, based on theories of mind, is an essential skill not only at home, but also in the workplace, school, and other communities.
Empathetic people are often referred to as caring people, and people naturally gather around them. Given that human society is made up of communities, it’s fair to say that empathy is essential for good relationships.
However, too much empathy can sometimes lead to rejection.
Just as too much flattery can make it difficult to gain trust, it’s important to remember that while moderate empathy can be a lubricant in a relationship, too much can backfire.
After all, isn’t being genuine the key ingredient that makes empathy possible? Even if you’re a little short on theory of mind, a sincere effort to get inside the other person’s head is probably more valuable.
In a modern world where authenticity is becoming scarce, perhaps what we need is not more theory or technology, but a sincere desire to understand others from the heart.
Thank you for listening. In our next lesson, coming up in just a moment, we’re going to look specifically at the art of empathy for better relationships.
Thank you.

Social Worker Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

When we see a vulnerable being endure irresistible suffering, we often say that they are “brave. A newborn baby provides a visual example of what it means to be “brave.
Here’s what my baby, who is less than 50 days old, looks like when she’s brave.
His normally angelic face turns into a drunken Mr. Kim; his naked face develops deep nasolabial folds; his mouth makes a loud “uhhhhh” sound like an uncle’s; his body twists and turns like a squid being roasted over a fire.
Sometimes it’s funny because it’s funny, but sometimes it’s sad because it looks like it’s in pain.
It’s not exactly clear why newborns do this.
Some say it’s because they can’t digest, others say it’s because their joints hurt from being so tall. Whether it’s colic or growing pains, it’s hard to believe that a newborn is already in pain.
Then again, I’ve heard that babies are under tremendous stress from the moment of birth.
After all, it’s clear that life is hard work from the moment you’re born.
So what do you say when a baby asks, “Why did you bring me into a world full of pain?”?
This difficult question was posed to me by a friend who was visiting to celebrate the birth of her baby.
She laughed and said that she had thought about it as a child and blamed her parents for it, but the question left me stunned for a moment, wondering, “Why did I give birth to him?
The truth is, there have been many times in my life when I’ve wished I’d rather have been born as a puppy sleeping at my feet because of the drama, anger, humiliation, and despair I’ve been forced to endure.
The groom added his own words.
“I’ve prayed once that I don’t have to be happy, just take away the pain.”
Life is often hard enough to make us wish for a state similar to death.
It’s not that we aspire to be great, it’s just that we’re born human, and we have to fight our way through it.
We had to struggle to put food on the table, find a place to live, and avoid getting sick.
Do people in well-off countries have an easier life? Probably, yes.
But the same struggles would still be there, like a fate that is beyond their control.
We often hear of people turning their backs on the world because they can’t bear to live.
A father who committed suicide to get his disabled son’s disability benefits, a family man who chose to die with his family because he couldn’t pay off a 20 million won debt, a schoolgirl who took drugs after being sexually assaulted… the list goes on.
I even saw an article that 6 out of 10 middle and high school students are depressed or want to die.
Even Ms. Choi Yoon-hee, the “Happiness Evangelist,” couldn’t overcome the pain of her illness and ended her life with her husband.
She showed us how difficult it is to sustain a happy life by changing an individual’s attitude alone.
So, when a baby asks, “Why did you give birth to me?”, should we answer with a blank stare?
We can’t say, “I’m sorry I gave birth to you, but life and death is an existential personal choice.”
You can only soothe them.
“Even if you’re suffering from colic and growing pains and things like that right now, you’re going to have some good things in life.
I have a friend who used to resent her parents when she was younger, but now she vows to have at least three children.
I thought, “There’s a reason why people who have lived this life choose to live it.”
And now, I’m going to try to make the world a happier place for people to live.
So that my baby doesn’t have to face it alone.
Thank you for listening.

Seminar Social Worker 3-minute speech

hello.
My name is ○○○, a social worker from ○○ Organization.
Sometimes it’s the questions that matter, not the answers.
“Why are poor people poor?”
“Why do we consider someone to be poor?”
The answers to these questions are actually pretty straightforward.
We know that disease, unemployment, and disability are major causes of poverty.
And we know that inadequate welfare systems make it even harder for the poor.
But recently, there’s been a shift in the way we define poverty.
Poverty is no longer simply something that needs to be relieved.
The unemployed are treated as a surplus population, and without the ability to pay for their consumption
surplus human beings.
This perspective is symptomatic of capitalism.
In past labor markets, the state was willing to help the poor get back into the labor market.
But modern society blames poverty on individual responsibility and incompetence.
But is poverty really the fault of the individual?
With high youth unemployment rates, is it really their fault that young people are left in the lurch?
The state should guarantee a basic income to those who have been pushed out of the labor market.
By providing them with the basic conditions to lead a dignified life.
and help them realize that dignity.
It’s not about paying for labor, it’s about providing the minimum conditions that people need to live.
If we don’t limit ourselves to the logic of the market, the poor may not be poor anymore.
What is a market?
What does growth and distribution mean to us?
It’s time to think deeply about these questions.
Folks, we need to stop looking only at our own problems,
we need to look around and find ways to live together.
Let’s not forget that we live in a time that desperately needs a broader perspective and deeper reflection.
Thank you for listening.
May your homes and lives be filled with peace and happiness.

Social Worker Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

If you remove the halo of titles like Pope or President, who is the most influential name in the world, the most expensive personal brand?
American talk show host Oprah Winfrey is probably the most likely candidate.
Oprah is now used like a common noun rather than a personal pronoun.
She once described the meaning of the word “Oprah” as “persistent questioning in a friendly tone to elicit a confession.”
The Wall Street Journal coined the term “Oprah-fication,” describing her method as “the process of getting people to reveal what they’ve been hiding deep down inside in front of the world.”
In fact, she had almost everything that could have prevented her from having a smooth start in life.
How did such a woman rise to the top?
As is already known, Oprah was born the daughter of a single mother in a poor black town near the Mississippi River.
From the age of 3, she showed great verbal and memorization skills, which endeared her to the adults in her neighborhood, but as is often the case with precocious children, she went through a rough puberty.
At 14, she gave birth to a premature baby and had some horrific experiences, including being sexually assaulted by her uncle.
Her father even turned away from her when she made the difficult plea for help.
Today, even this dark past has become the backdrop for Oprah Winfrey’s brand, but the road to untangling it was far from smooth.
For example, Oprah didn’t hide her humble origins from the early days of her show, but it wasn’t until her half-sister’s revelation that she gave birth to a premature baby at age 14 that she became famous.
No one, no matter how much money and power they have, is immune to the shame and humiliation that comes with having a past like this revealed.
But Oprah took this crisis head-on and used it as an opportunity to rise above.
Instead of ending the revelation with a mere regret for a painful past or an apology for indulgence, she launched a program-wide campaign against teen sexuality.
He also confessed to his own past drug use while addressing middle-class drug problems on the show in 1995.
“Twenty years ago, I took cocaine in the hopes of getting closer to a guy I was dating,” she admitted to the audience, in what was perhaps one of her most difficult moments.
Oprah’s most emphatic words to young women are.
“The biggest thing you can do for your passport is to be the absolute best at what you do.”
These words are nothing new, but Oprah’s honesty makes her words carry more weight and authenticity.
Her attitude of using flaws as a cornerstone of progress rather than hiding them is what underpins Oprah’s success.
Her words act as a weight lifted, and her repeated confessions are a recipe for healing wounds.
Her accomplishments and future possibilities in the face of extreme circumstances should serve as an example to many who hide behind the words “I’m a loser.”
Thank you for listening.

Social Worker Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

Recently, a three-year-old child was found abandoned in a pile of garbage at a construction site following an assault by his father.
In the days leading up to his death, the neighborhood heard the child’s cries every day, and the police investigation revealed that the child’s body was covered in nasty bruises.
In the end, the child was reportedly thrown down the sink in a side room and died.
As a fellow parent, a father of three, I read this article and felt a deep sense of sadness and helplessness.
Of course, the blame for the child’s parents weighs heavily, but so does the responsibility of our society for creating them.
But the biggest question is this.
Why did we do nothing to prevent this child’s death?
This case reminds me of the ‘Victoria Climby’ case that shocked the UK.
Victoria was born in Côte d’Ivoire, Africa in 1991 and came to the UK to escape poverty.
While living in the care of a relative, she was constantly abused and assaulted by the relative and her boyfriend, and eventually lost her life in 2000 after an assault.
Up to this point, the similarities to the case in Korea are striking.
However, the two countries’ responses after the incident were very different.
In the UK, the case caused a public outcry, and the Health Secretary and Home Secretary jointly launched an investigation.
Victoria’s death led to an overhaul of the UK’s social services system to ensure they were working properly, hospitals and police responded appropriately, and the case was a direct trigger for changes to children’s laws and the development of child protection programs.
In Korea, too, the death of a three-year-old child is a devastating tragedy.
So why are the responses so different?
In our society, it’s hard to find articles that discuss the responsibility of the government and the state in this case.
Most of the discussion focuses on how wrong the child’s parents were.
The UK, on the other hand, saw the case as a problem for the country and society, not just a problem for Victoria’s family.
Victoria’s death forced the UK to reflect on the system’s failure to prevent child abuse, and led to the unprecedented joint investigation by the Department of Health and the Home Office, which resulted in changes that strengthened social services.
Watching this case, I am reminded of how much work remains for Korea to move toward a true welfare state.
There are still many children who have been exposed to abuse, and there is no guarantee that a second or third tragedy will not be repeated.
To address this issue, I want to talk about the role of social workers.
Social workers are the ones who are currently working in the center.
I believe they should play a key role in monitoring and protecting these children.
However, there are several prerequisites for social workers to fulfill their role.
According to a media report, one social worker in the same office is responsible for the services of about 856 people.
In such an environment, it is practically impossible to provide high-quality welfare services to residents.
In particular, we urgently need to find a way to replace the time and energy spent on checking the conditions of basic living recipients.
I look forward to exploring solutions with everyone here today so that our society can avoid repeating this tragedy.
Thank you for listening.

Photographer seminar presenter 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
My name is ○○○.
What is it about our profession that allows us to turn fleeting moments into eternal art?
Who are the people who make those moments immortalized in time?
The answer is photographers.
In recent years, the number of amateur photographers has increased dramatically.
This has both positive and negative aspects, but I like to look at it in a positive light.
The biggest reason is that photography has become popularized, and a lot of people are interested and excited about it.
I think that alone is significant enough.
It’s not just a festival for us anymore, it’s a festival for everyone.
I think that’s expanding the scope of what we can do.
I also hope that it will open the way for prominent photographers to be recognized by the public, not just by us.
If you look at the current trends in photography, there is a particular focus on portraiture.
I can’t help but think of Cecil Beaton, one of the greatest portrait photographers of all time.
His work is legendary, as he captured the stars of the cultural and artistic scene of his time.
Even if they were flawless, brightly lit stars of their time,
perfection is always two percent short.
Cecil B. Beaton noted that Audrey Hepburn had a nose that was too long, a pointed chin, and a thin neck.
He posed and photographed her to mask those flaws.
For him, photography wasn’t just about taking pictures of beauties, it was an art of making them more beautiful.
In today’s photography, we often use Photoshop to make skin whiter, faces leaner, and eyes more defined.
If there’s anything in common with Cecil Beaton’s work, it’s that they all focus on enhancing flaws.
But there’s a big difference in approach.
A person in a photograph is more than just a face.
It’s important to remember that there’s a personality and a story behind it.
Sure, you can add to the mood with props like a hat or a lacy dress,
I believe that the essence of photography is to maintain the personality and authenticity of the subject.
Even if it’s just for a passport photo, we need to create a photo that has life and personality, not just a static image.
We must never forget that we have the power to look deeply into a person and their life, to see and see through time and culture.
I think that’s what we as photographers should strive for.
Thank you for listening,
and may your homes and futures be filled with happiness and blessings.
Thank you.

Case presentation CEO 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone!
My name is ○○○, and I am currently the CEO of ○○ Corporation.
We are gathered here today with many wonderful people who have endured trials and tribulations under really difficult conditions, have become exemplary members of society, and have worked with honesty and sincerity.
It is with great regret and great honor that I, just an ordinary person, am here to present a case study.
Ladies and gentlemen, the stories of successful people overcoming adversity are always inspiring and teach us something new.
The story I’m going to share with you today is not one of great success, but rather an experience of how a small realization changed my life.
I came to Seoul in ○○ and started a ○○ agency with my parents’ encouragement, but it wasn’t profitable enough, so I closed it down and became unemployed.
That was one of the most frustrating moments of my life.
My eldest child had a sudden accident and needed surgery, but I had no money, so I traveled from relative to relative to borrow money.
I was gripped by the despair of being an incompetent family man who couldn’t even protect the family he cherished most.
It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to walk in a dark tunnel with no end in sight for anyone who hasn’t experienced it.
At that point, it was painful just to get through the day.
But in the midst of that despair, I suddenly realized: “I can’t live this helplessly anymore. Let’s start doing something, even if it’s small.”
This small commitment was a turning point for me.
One summer day, while watching my kids play in the sand, an idea popped into my head.
As I watched them jumping and having fun on the playground equipment, I thought to myself, “Couldn’t we build something safer and more fun?
At that moment, everything felt connected, and I ran home with a slap on the knee and started gathering relevant information.
That day, I discovered my eureka moment: making bike lanes with padded flooring.
At the time, bike paths in new cities were made of hard cement, and I wondered if there was a way to make them safer and more comfortable.
So I set myself the goal of creating the world’s fluffiest bike path.
But having an idea wasn’t everything.
I didn’t even know what materials to use or how to make it, so I had to go through a lot of trial and error.
It took a few years of traveling to material stores, visiting salvage yards to get information, and poring over books and resources to learn, before I was finally able to create the flooring I envisioned.
Along the way, I learned firsthand the truth that “hard work, accumulated by solving one small problem after another, never betrays you.”
Finally, in ○○, I succeeded in patenting my work and securing a government contract.
The excitement of that moment was indescribable.
With the contract in my hand, I shared my joy with my family in tears.
What I realized then was a simple but powerful truth: If you don’t give up, there is always a way.
Today, as I stand before you to present my case, I want to thank so many people.
My small challenges have made me who I am today, and if my story can inspire someone, I will be more than happy.
In the future, I will continue to strive to produce good products and do my best to be an entrepreneur with a positive impact on society.
I’d like to thank everyone for listening to my story, and I’m very grateful to the organizers for having me here today.
Thank you for listening.

In-house lecturer 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone from the ○○ Securities PR team.
I’m ○○○, a lecturer, and I’m here today to share my valuable time with you through the internal communication skills improvement course.
In today’s corporate culture, it is no exaggeration to say that smooth communication skills are essential.
In particular, it is a core competency that is indispensable for public relations teams, who are the middle bridge between companies and consumers.
As if to prove its importance, communication is emphasized everywhere.
But what is true communication?
Let me give you an example.
There was a father and his young child on the subway.
The child was a real rascal.
He was running back and forth in the crowded subway car, weaving in and out of people, making loud noises, and disturbing his surroundings.
People’s faces grew stony.
The child’s father didn’t try to stop him, but just stood there in silence, holding onto the handle.
Eventually, one passenger had enough and complained, but the father still did nothing to stop him.
As the passengers grew increasingly frustrated, the father finally spoke up.
“Now… I’m on my way back to bury my child’s mother.”
The father was so deep in grief that he didn’t even have the presence of mind to restrain his child.
The child was just acting like a normal child, not understanding that he had lost his mother.
Communication is something that organizations have been thinking about for a long time and are now entering a deeper phase.
But the basic principles of communication are very simple.
It’s about listening to the other person.
Asking, listening, and empathizing with what the other person is thinking and feeling – that’s the essence of communication.
After hearing the child’s father’s story, the passengers were no longer able to criticize the father and child.
They were able to understand the father’s situation and empathize with the child.
After all, understanding and empathizing with the other person is the starting point of communication.
That’s why listening is so important.
Unfortunately, the fact that the need for listening and empathy is being emphasized is, paradoxically, a sign that our society is becoming less and less caring and understanding.
True communication starts with a desire to hear what you don’t know.
And with that, I’d like to conclude today’s lecture with the hope that you’ll take away with you a sense of communication.
Thank you.

3-minute speech by a business speaker

Hello, I’m ○○○, the director of the ○○ Self-Development Center.
It’s a pleasure to meet all of you who have taken time out of your day to join us for self-improvement.
Today I’d like to talk about how to collect and manage information efficiently.
In order to work more effectively in an organization, a wide range of information is essential.
In our work life, we often send and receive information.
For example,
“Ms. Kim, please prepare a report on the status of the branch office.”
“Ms. Choi, please analyze the market situation and make a draft.”
So, here’s a question for you.
Which do you think is stronger, the desire to get information from the other person or the desire to give information to the other person?
For most people, the desire to be informed is often stronger.
So, how can you effectively gather information in these situations?
First, don’t just wait to get the information you need.
You need to visit the department yourself, find the information and data you need, and write it down meticulously.
But the important thing is that you also have the attitude to give them the information you have.
This requires you to maintain good communication and trust with other departments on a daily basis.
You also need to explore different avenues to broaden and maintain your sources of information.
Second, the information you collect is only valuable if you organize and analyze it.
Get into the habit of organizing and filing important materials in an organized manner.
It’s also important to let go of what you don’t need.
In fact, the CEO of one company gave his employees the following instructions.
“Clean out two-thirds of the papers in your desk drawers, no matter how important you think they are, and throw them away.”
What followed was a mountain of garbage, but it didn’t seem to disrupt their work at all.
People who hold onto unnecessary material like this often find themselves slowing down.
On the other hand, people who sift through, organize, and store the information they need are able to move their business forward efficiently.
As you grow in your role, whether you’re writing proposals, working on projects, or meeting with clients, the amount of data you have to deal with increases.
But if you’re collecting and processing information the same way you did yesterday, you can get overwhelmed and lose focus on producing ‘results’.
To produce better results in less time, you need to be able to gather and utilize information, or “intellectual productivity.
Learning how to quickly identify key tasks and articulate them as your own accomplishments will be the key to increasing your intellectual productivity.
That concludes my talk today.
Thank you for listening.

Business Speaker 3 Minute Speech

hello. I’m ○○○, the director of the ○○ Self-development Center.
I’m glad to see all of you who have taken time out of your day to join us for self-improvement.
Today, I’d like to talk about the habit of taking notes at work.
Taking notes is something that anyone with a pen and paper can start doing, but it’s not always easy to do consistently.
Thoughts are fleeting, and if you don’t hold onto them, they won’t leave a trace.
The most effective way to capture your thoughts is through notes.
The first advantage of notes is that you don’t have to remember all of the information you’ve gathered, making it your own asset that you can pull out whenever you need it.
In the modern world where information is a competitive advantage, notes are a powerful tool to make the information you need yours in the fastest and most accurate way possible.
Workers who consistently practice a note-taking habit have an edge over those who don’t.
Work-related items or ideas often come to mind when you’re away from the workplace.
In these moments, notes can help crystallize vague thoughts and connect them to tangible deliverables.
As such, a good note-taking habit can help you work better and stay organized.
I have so many experiences where taking notes has helped me make fewer mistakes and perform better.
For example, I’ve outperformed in important meetings or lectures by using data or figures I’d previously jotted down,
I’ve also had countless times when I’ve revised or reaffirmed goals by looking back at my notes.
So when and how do you take notes?
Here are a few of my favorite note-taking habits.
First, I take notes on the business cards of people I meet for the first time, including their appearance and characteristics, and where we met.
I do this so that when I see them again, I’ll remember them before they do, and it’s a natural way to plug them into my personal network.
Second, for employee management, I often take notes on everything from business appointments to tastes, personal style, and things they’ve said that have impressed me.
These notes come in handy as a tool to resolve conflicts, or to bring more joy through praise.
While these are some of my favorite ways to take notes, there’s no set technique.
You can do what feels most comfortable for you.
Notes can be anything from simple thoughts to big ideas.
Excerpts from books, journaling about your day, or clipping can also be good note-taking habits.
You can also tear out impressions from newspapers, magazines, books, etc. and tack them to your desk or fridge.
If all of this doesn’t work for you, you can also stack them in a memo box and pull them out when you need ideas.
That concludes our talk today.
Thank you for listening.

Intro to Wealth 3-minute speech

It’s not uncommon for people to blame themselves for their circumstances and say, “I’m in this mess.”
But even between 2009 and 2011, when the U.S. economy was in the doldrums, the number of millionaires in the U.S. grew steadily.
According to the Spectrum Group, a Chicago-based consulting firm, the number of millionaires increased by 200,000 in 2011, the same year the U.S. was downgraded.
Of course, one could criticize that the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer due to structural issues in society.
But even within that structure, there are still people who get richer.
The reason they became millionaires is not because their parents helped them, or because they did something illegal and corrupt.
There are people who build wealth the honest way, even in difficult circumstances.
Today, MarketWatch columnist Paul B. Farrell shares his “10 Secrets to Becoming a Millionaire and Enjoying It” to help you learn how to become a millionaire regardless of your circumstances.
1. Getting rich is not about money.
2. Think differently. Thinking differently is always rewarded.
3. Strengthen your spirit of positivity. Develop the strength to survive any situation.
4. Stop doing what you hate. Don’t waste time doing what you hate.
5. Do what you love. Nothing is more profitable than pursuing what you love.
6. Discover your true self. Don’t burn yourself out in a field that doesn’t suit you.
7. Invest in yourself. You can become a millionaire when you own your own business.
8. Live your passion, but don’t chase money.
9. Live in the moment. Make each day meaningful and be grateful to be alive.
10. Make a difference in the world.
This last one is the key to becoming a successful millionaire.
We all have our own pressures in life.
But millionaires live with dreams and visions of making the world a better place.
They don’t just want to accumulate material wealth, they want to help people and be spiritually rich as well.
You too can have a dream that satisfies your soul deep down.
If you do, you will make a difference in the world in your own way.
Becoming a millionaire is all about our mindset.
If you have the right attitude to become a millionaire, if you believe you are already a millionaire, then at that moment you are already successful.
Money never gives a chance to those who desperately chase it.
But when you follow a path that you are truly passionate about, money will naturally follow.
I wish you all a brilliant future.
This concludes my story, thank you.

Autumn Greetings from a couple seminar instructor

Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Autumn is in full swing, and colorful leaves are welcoming us with their brilliant glow.
In this season of abundant fruitfulness, I hope you’re able to rest your minds and bodies after a long summer and catch up on some of the things you’ve been putting off.
For me, there was one thing I put off all summer. It was a deep clean.
In the sweltering heat, I couldn’t even run the vacuum cleaner, let alone do anything major, so I kept putting things off, like organizing my storage room, until yesterday, when I finally got around to it.
During the process, I found some interesting items: a mountain bike that I had bought with the intention of taking up a hobby someday, and materials for my wife’s favorite beading craft.
A few years ago, I had taken up some exercise as an excuse to get fit, and my wife had taken up beading as a hobby to spend time alone. But our hobby didn’t last long.
After an accident in which our child nearly swallowed a bead one day, my wife stopped crafting, and I gave up because I couldn’t bear the thought of enjoying a hobby alone with my wife and child in mind. Eventually, I fell back into the routine of watching TV on my days off.
Seeing my bike covered in dust brought back bittersweet memories of those days, and I thought to myself: why didn’t we stick with our hobby?
It’s often said that couples should share the same hobbies, and that’s a good thing, because you can spend time together and share a lot of things. But what if you can’t find a common hobby, no matter how hard you try?
It’s hard for two people who have lived in different environments for 20 or more years to match their personalities and have the same hobbies just because they’re married.
In such cases, it’s common for one of the partners to give up their hobbies, or even both of them, but I have a different opinion. Isn’t it okay for two people to have different hobbies?
The key here is not to have different hobbies and completely separate your time, but to respect and understand each other’s tastes.
My wife likes to spend quiet time at home, while I prefer to be outside and active. Because of these differences, our conflicts ultimately stemmed from our inability to accept each other’s differences.
However, the conflict over hobbies could have been resolved by recognizing and respecting each other’s hobbies instead of tearing each other down.
A healthy hobby can relieve stress and energize your life. It’s never a good idea to give up a hobby with such positive effects because your spouse doesn’t like it.
If your partner’s hobbies are unfamiliar to you or don’t make sense to you, try to put yourself in his or her shoes for a moment, instead of pushing or criticizing.
Remember, a happy marriage starts with understanding and consideration.
Thank you.

3-minute speech by a couple seminar instructor

Good morning, everyone!
The cool breeze is brushing against my skin, and summer has come to an end and fall has arrived.
Have you noticed the leaves on the trees on your way to work?
Hopefully you’ve taken the time to get into the spirit of fall with your spouse.
After a long period of steadily rising divorce rates for married couples, Korea ranked third in the world in 2011.
The statistic of 7% of the population experiencing divorce is alarming.
In the past, from the 1950s to the 1990s, the number one reason couples divorced was “spousal infidelity.
But in the 2000s, things changed.
Infidelity dropped to second place, and “personality differences” emerged as the new #1 reason for divorce.
Personality differences are now harder to tolerate than spousal infidelity.
Why have we become a world where we can’t even tolerate our spouse’s personality?
Let me tell you a fun story.
It was shortly after 18-year-old Chinggis Khan married Volte, a boy his own age whom he had married as a child.
They were ambushed by the Merkit tribe, their family scattered in all directions, and his wife, Volte, was taken captive and made the wife of a small Merkit chief.
Barely escaping with his life, Chinggis Khan united with neighboring tribes to attack the Merkit tribe and won a great victory, bringing back his wife Volte.
But she was already in full labor, and soon afterward, a child was born with the blood of his enemies.
Unable to control his anger, Chinggis Khan tried to harm his wife and child, but his mother, Hoerun, advised him.
“How can you gain the world when you cannot even embrace your wife and your enemies? If you want to gain the world, have the embrace to cover the world.”
After deep reflection, Chinggis Khan realized that his wife, Volte, was not at fault.
He relented, accepted the child, and gave him a name that meant “guest.
Chinggis Khan treated the child no differently from his other children, and he loved his wife unconditionally.
He may have been illiterate, but he was a great inclusive leader who knew how to listen to others and cover their faults.
Today, we seem to be becoming less and less inclusive.
In a world where personality differences are the number one reason for divorce, perhaps a lack of inclusion is causing us to turn our backs on each other?
Maybe it’s the sense that we’re more important than others, the inability to cover our faults, that’s deepening the divide.
“The enemy is within me. By overcoming myself, I have become Genghis Khan.”
These are the words of Genghis Khan.
I sincerely hope that you too can overcome the enemy within you and build a harmonious family.
Thank you.

Parent Lecture 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m here today to talk to you about how to be a good parent.
The topic of this talk is “How to be a good parent,” and I realize that it’s not an easy topic for me to discuss because there are no easy answers.
What does it mean to be a good parent?
Many of you might think that with my background in psychology, specifically developmental psychology, I’d be good at raising kids.
But raising a son and two daughters has taught me the hard way that you’re always a beginner.
In fact, I’d argue that most parents are rookies.
Kids are constantly creating new problems as they grow up, and no two kids are alike.
Being a parent is probably the hardest job in the world, and you can’t just quit if you don’t like it.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t take on the role of parenting in a haphazard, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants way.
The only thing we can rely on is to find accurate information about raising children.
The good news is that kids turn out better than you might think, even if you’re a first-time mom or first-time dad.
That is, as long as you’re willing to keep trying.
But don’t forget, no matter how much information you have, if you don’t have love for your child, they won’t grow up healthy.
Based on my experience, I’ve compiled a list of “5 commandments” for being a good parent.
1. Are you treating your child as an independent person?
2. Are you warm and consistent with your child?
3. Do you demonstrate cooperation with your neighbors and society?
4. Do you lead by example with actions rather than words?
5. Are you loving, understanding, and communicating with your child in a disciplined way?
When you look at these five things, you can see that being a good parent starts with being upright yourself.
It is greedy to expect your children to grow up right when you are not right yourself.
The way to be a good parent is to constantly strive to be a good parent yourself.
Parenting is hard work, and it can be confusing at times.
But folks, being a good parent is a skill that we learn, just like any other skill.
Learn hard, be diligent, and practice hard.
That concludes my talk today, thank you.
