SUMMARY:Speaking Club: The Best American TV Shows
DESCRIPTION:ЗАРЕГИСТРИРОВАТЬСЯ\nAmerican TV shows have long outgrown simple entertainment — they’ve become a major part of global culture. They shape trends\, influence language and communication styles\, and even affect how people think. \nAnd conveniently\, they’re also one of the best ways to improve your English through real\, everyday speech. \nAt our upcoming Speaking Club session with Anelli Arana\, a university lecturer from Florida\, we’ll explore: \n✦ Why are American TV shows so popular?\nWe’ll talk about how the U.S. TV industry became one of the most influential in the world\, why audiences get emotionally attached to characters\, and how shows reflect social trends. \n✦ Iconic shows everyone should know\nFrom timeless classics to modern hits — we’ll revisit the most famous projects across different eras and discuss what made them memorable. \n✦ The best recent shows\nWe’ll break down the series everyone is talking about today: the themes they explore\, why they gained popularity\, and what makes them stand out. \n✦ The language of TV shows: real English\nYou’ll learn common phrases\, slang\, and expressions frequently used in shows — and actually try using them in conversation.

SUMMARY:Book Business Club: Leading Change (Not Just a Book Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:ЗАРЕГИСТРИРОВАТЬСЯ\nWe’ll use the book Leading Change by John Kotter as a foundation\, but the session will be a hands-on workshop featuring a special guest: Richard Wunakott\, a diplomat from the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius with a background in global management and business. \nRichard won’t just talk about the book — he’ll share real-world examples from his experience in California state government\, where Kotter’s ideas helped drive meaningful change. \nWhat to expect \n1. Short Lecture (20–30 min)\nWe’ll break down Kotter’s key idea: why 70% of change initiatives fail\, and the difference between managing change and leading change.\nYou’ll also get a clear overview of Kotter’s 8-step framework — a system designed to create momentum and real results. \n2. Practice Session (20–30 min)\nInteractive group work with a twist: instead of discussing how to succeed\, we’ll explore how to fail at change — and then figure out how to prevent it.\nThis approach helps uncover real risks and blind spots. \n3. Review & Discussion (20–30 min)\nEach group will present their insights in a short “breaking news” format.\nWe’ll discuss which strategies actually work — and which ones just look good on paper. \nKey takeaway \nChange is not about processes or spreadsheets — it’s about people\, behavior\, and perception. \nJoin us if you want more than a book discussion — if you want to actually build your ability to lead change.
