Please try also JS 90.Note: オノマトペ =  A word that expresses various states and movements with sound, including a sensory expression, although the sound is not actually heard.Even the same onomatopoeia has different meanings depending on the context; e.g. “peko peko” could mean 1) “very hungry”, or 2) “be very humble” or “touch one's forelock” = “He apologized humbly. / He apologized over and over again.”[00:18]First, let's do on weather.

In this Dental Leaders episode, Payman sits down with Fabian Farbahi, a 22-year-old Sheffield dental student who's already mastered something most people spend decades learning: the power of genuine conversation. Fabian spends 3.5-hour train journeys striking up chats with strangers because he's fascinated by people's stories—the same curiosity that drove him to become president of Sheffield's dental student society and spend two months on elective in Brazil learning Portuguese. They discuss Fabian's refreshingly unformed career path—he's drawn to oral surgery, intrigued by sports dentistry, passionate about public health behaviour change, and comfortable not knowing exactly which direction he'll take. The conversation covers his transformation from small-town student to confident stage presenter, lessons learned managing volunteers without pay, and why the best time to take business risks is when you're young. What emerges is someone who understands that dentistry isn't just about teeth—it's about connection, communication, and throwing yourself into uncomfortable situations until they become second nature.In This Episode00:03:35 - Choosing Sheffield and moving north00:06:45 - Clinical mistakes and university challenges00:07:40 - Student society presidency00:11:25 - Train conversations and connecting with strangers00:14:20 - Getting into dental school struggles00:17:40 - Career interests: implants, oral surgery, sports dentistry00:20:35 - Public health and behaviour change00:26:15 - Implantology path and the dip00:30:05 - Practice ownership versus travel ambitions00:32:20 - Two-month Brazil elective experience00:41:20 - Six-year projections and taking risks young00:44:30 - Managing people without payment00:50:15 - Business culture and leadership style00:54:50 - FDI World Dental Congress in Istanbul00:58:20 - Shadowing at Evo Dental01:01:30 - Sponsor hunting and sales lessons01:06:00 - Finding confidence through reinvention01:08:50 - Fantasy dinner partyAbout Fabian FarbahiFabian Farbahi is a fourth-year Sheffield dental student who served as president of the Sheffield University Dental Student Society.

Your new hire shadows for a few days. You walk them through a checklist. They learn the software. Then what? Everyone hopes they “figure it out.” A month later, the doctor is frustrated. The team is stressed. The new hire feels like they’re failing. The problem isn’t effort. The problem is this: you’re treating training like a checkbox instead of a culture. Why One Time Training Kills Growth When training is an event, your practice stays stuck in reaction mode. You only coach after mistakes, complaints, or resignations. By then, you’re cleaning up fires instead of building people. Here’s the pattern that plays out in most practices. A new hire gets paired with your “strongest” team member. That leader is already buried in their own workload, so they show shortcuts instead of deep explanations. The new person picks up just enough to stay afloat. Everyone assumes the job is done. But orthodontic practices don’t stay still. Systems change. Software updates. Patient expectations rise. Insurance rules shift. If your team never gets space and structure for continuous learning, they’ll keep doing what they’ve always done. Even when you need something completely different. The emotional toll is real too. Without clear expectations for days 30, 60, and 90, a new hire never knows if they’re winning. They catch feedback only when something breaks. They sense the doctor’s frustration but not the reason. That builds anxiety fast. High performers burn out because they’re constantly training others on the fly. Low performers coast because nobody defined what success actually looks like. Patient experience becomes a coin flip. One family gets a red carpet welcome. The next one gets a rushed check-in from someone who can’t answer basic questions. That’s how training problems quietly become culture problems. Then turnover problems. Then growth hits a ceiling. The Shift — Training As Intentional Culture Flip the switch with one decision. Training isn’t something you check off. It’s something you build into how your practice breathes every single day. Stop playing defense. Start playing offense. Instead of coaching around fires, set a rhythm. Define what someone should know and do at 30, 60, and 90 days. Block time for one on ones, coaching, and questions. Make it clear that learning isn’t just for new hires. It’s for everyone, all the time. This doesn’t require a massive time commitment. Everyone has the same hours in a day. The difference is what leaders choose to prioritize. A 15-minute check-in each week with a key team member can prevent dozens of hours of upset patients, staff gossip, and repeated mistakes. When training becomes your culture, you stop expecting people to just know. You start expecting them to grow. Design Training For Real Humans Here’s another trap. The assumption that everyone learns the same way. Shadowing is valuable. It’s not enough on its own. Some people need hands-on practice with guidance. Others need to talk it through and ask questions. Others need written steps they can review later. When training is generic and rushed, it drains both trainer and trainee. Neither one walks into the next session excited. Mix observation with hands-on work. Break complex processes into smaller wins and celebrate progress along the way. Make room for questions and curiosity, not just lectures. Draw a parallel to continuing education for doctors. Clinicians don’t take one course early in their career and call it done. They keep learning because standards of care change. Your team needs the same commitment. Front Desk staff, Clinical Assistants, and Treatment Coordinators need ongoing growth to stay aligned with what patients expect today, not five years ago. When your entire team is engaged in learning, the practice feels alive. People aren’t just clocking in. They’re getting better. One Role, One Story, Real Transformation Redefining a single role can transform both a person and your whole practice. Picture this. A Front Desk team member has been parked in a corner with an unspoken message: just sit there, answer phones, check people in. Her title reflects it. Her daily experience reflects it. Over time, she internalized the message and operated at that level. Instead of replacing her, reframe the role. Change her title to something like “Patient Satisfaction Specialist” or “First Impression Expert.” Train her on how to stand and greet, how to introduce herself by name, how to guide families through your lobby, and how to create warm, personal phone calls. The shift was immediate. She owned the lobby experience. Patients got greeted with eye contact and genuine care. New callers heard enthusiasm. The Front Desk stopped being a transactional checkpoint. It became a hospitality station that set the tone for everything else. Better greetings and more thoughtful calls helped with retention and reviews. Clinical teams faced less friction because patients already felt cared for before sitting in the chair. Every role in your practice can be a growth lever if you define its purpose and train to that purpose. When people understand the why behind their tasks, accountability stops feeling like punishment. It becomes a badge of pride. Watch how this plays out in daily moments. A team member notices a parent looks cold and offers a blanket without being asked. An assistant remembers a song a patient mentioned and queues it up next visit. A coordinator recognizes a nervous family and slows down to address their real fears. These aren’t random kindnesses. They’re the natural outcome of people who understand their role in the patient journey and feel empowered to act. The Cadence That Works You don’t need a complex training program to make this happen. You need something structured and simple. The heartbeat of this is one on ones. Team huddles matter. Staff meetings are valuable. But nothing replaces looking someone in the eye and talking directly about their experience, their goals, and their growth. Schedule a 15-minute weekly check-in. Ask what’s going well, where they’re struggling, and what support they need. Because this rhythm stays consistent, those conversations feel safe. They signal investment, not trouble. Add a 30-minute monthly development conversation. Review what happened over the past few weeks. Connect performance to specific behaviors and decisions. Talk through real cases, what worked, what could shift next time. Let them use you as a sounding board to brainstorm. Step into a 60-minute quarterly growth conversation. Widen the lens. Discuss personal goals, where they want to grow, and how that connects to where the practice is heading. Treat these as pivot points, moments to reset focus and clarify the next cycle. Start every meeting with what’s working. Make team members feel seen and valued before you talk about gaps. That shift alone primes the conversation for openness and kills the fear that a one on one means they’re “in trouble.” Over time, your team will look forward to these meetings because they feel like real investment. Your 90-Day Action Plan You don’t need to be perfect to start. You need consistency. First, audit how training actually happens right now. Where do new hires get information? Who do they shadow? When do you check-in after week one or two? Where do issues usually surface, front desk or clinic or consultations? Don’t judge. Just observe. The goal is to see the gap between what you intend and what your team actually experiences. Second, pick one role. Maybe it’s the Front Desk. Maybe it’s a Clinical Assistant or Treatment Coordinator. Pick the area where confusion or turnover has been most obvious. For that role, write down what you expect someone to know and do at 30, 60, and 90 days. Keep it simple and rooted in reality, communication, patient experience, and key responsibilities. Third, put a cadence on the calendar. Schedule a 15 minute weekly check-in and a 30-minute monthly conversation for the next three months. Decide right now that you’ll start each meeting by asking what’s going well. That one habit changes the tone more than anything else. Listen closely during those conversations. Where does this person feel unclear, undervalued, or underused? What part of their role do they love? Where do they feel least confident? Invite them to share ideas for improving patient experience or efficiency in their area. Then empower them to run one small experiment. Maybe it’s a new greeting script. Maybe it’s a comfort station with blankets and stress toys for anxious families. Maybe it’s better follow-up on pending treatment plans. Define what success looks like together and decide how you’ll measure it. At day 90, step back and compare. How is this person performing now? How has their confidence shifted? What’s the impact on patients or the rest of your team? Use those insights to refine the cadence and roll it out to the next role. The Practice You Build Training problems aren’t solved by one more manual or a longer orientation. They’re solved when training becomes a living part of how your practice operates. When you move from one time training to ongoing coaching, everything shifts. Team members feel valued instead of disposable. Expectations are crystal clear instead of vague. Accountability feels like empowerment instead of punishment. Patients feel the difference the moment they walk through your door. They see it in a genuine greeting. They hear it in a caring voice. They feel it when someone remembers their name or anticipates what they need. As your team grows, your practice grows. Turnover drops. Reviews climb. Your days stop feeling like fire drills and start feeling like purposeful, predictable progress. You don’t need a perfect system. You only need to decide that training is no longer a box to check. Choose one role. Set a simple cadence. Have the conversations. Let continuous coaching become the heartbeat of your culture. Start this week.

In this lesson we'll practice together how the same text can sound happy, sad, serious, or excited, only by changing your voice! I'll read two paragraphs in different ways so you can hear how tone, pitch, and rhythm change the meaning. Then we'll shadow together and you can practice your own intonation. Shadow with me, repeat after me, and train your voice to tell the story you want! If you want more practice with intonation, pronunciation, and real speaking skills, check out my free 14-day pronunciation plan! https://bit.ly/3YAWcJ5

Watch all our Podcasts on YouTube ? Do you feel like you're constantly re-explaining the same things to new hires and still crossing your fingers they don't mess it up? If you're nodding, you're not alone and it's not your fault. Most pet business owners were never taught how to train people, and now you're stuck in a cycle of “watch me and hope for the best.” But hope is not a hiring strategy and it's definitely not a training plan. In this episode of Bella in Your Business, I'm breaking down exactly how to build a pet business staff training program that actually works, without you having to micromanage every detail or babysit your team. You'll learn how to create a 2-day training program that's rooted in psychology, supports every type of learner, and makes your business run like the legit brand it's meant to be. And spoiler alert: good training isn't about hand-holding, it's about creating clarity, confidence, and culture. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The truth about how people learn Shadowing isn't a strategy Build a 2-Day powerhouse training The psychology of a good training program How to use your training process as a marketing and hiring advantage Timestamps [00:45] – The harsh truth about shadowing and why “hope” isn't a strategy [02:20] – The 5 learning styles your team may be missing in training [07:10] – Why shadowing alone causes confusion, ghosting, and stress [09:40] – How to build a two-day training system that actually works [14:20] – The emotional psychology behind confident, loyal staff Notable Quotes “Shadowing isn't training. It's saying, ‘figure it out' without actually saying it.” “You're not just training a body. You're training a brain and a belief.” “Clarity is kindness for your staff, for your clients, and for you.” Resources & Links Pet Care Team Training – (Bella's co-owned platform for quick, effective pet sitter certifications) Book a Coaching Call – 20-minute no-pressure strategy session with Bella Join the Mastermind – Where hiring and training support gets real Bella's 10-Step Hiring & Training Process – Everything you need to build your dream team Transcript Welcome everybody to another episode of Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta. Today we're gonna talk about something that literally keeps so many of you up at night wondering, how am I gonna get through this? And it's all about how to train staff for a pet sitting business. And I'm just gonna say it, this episode might sting a little, but I say all of this with my mama-bear love for you. If your pet business staff training is basically just “shadow me and we'll see how you do” or “just go off with one another sitter and see what they do,” then you're living on a hope and a prayer and you know what I always say, hope ain't a strategy. Okay, so let's be real for a second. I know what you're thinking: “Bella, I don't have time to build all this out,” or maybe it's like, “If I invest the energy into all of this, they just leave.” And when I hire someone, just like hope that they're gonna stay with me. Okay, but here's the thing you don't have time not to do this. And let me just tell you this too: we're in 2025 at this recording, soon to be 2026. It has never been a better time to devise an entire training program for your company because you can do it in a day using AI the right way, all right? Right now, you're probably spending more time fixing mistakes, re-explaining things, getting stressed over whether your staff is going to mess up a client's dog. And that's not sustainable. It's not scalable. And it's definitely not the business you've been dreaming of. You're probably in this stage right now where you're like, “I got into this business because I love pets.” And now you've realized that you need to be a trainer of people. Wait—what? Yeah, that's the harsh truth. But today I'm gonna help support you,

With Ukraine highlighting the use of UK hardware in strikes against Russia and the US insisting British military personnel join a team monitoring the Gaza ceasefire, are we at risk of ending up in a wider conflict?The possibility, however slim, that UK soldiers could be engaged in fighting in the Middle East follows Ukraine's very public revelation that British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles were used in a "massive" attack inside Russia.Less than two weeks ago, the foreign secretary said there were no plans to send troops to monitor the Gaza ceasefire - so is the UK being dragged into a situation it doesn't want to be in?What is the extent of its role in these conflicts and what are the implications for our national security?Niall is joined by Sky's military analyst Professor Michael Clarke.Producer: Tom GillespieEditor: Mike Bovill

Ready to put your authoritative tone to the test in English? In today's episode, we're shadowing an infamous scene from The Devil Wears Prada. We will focus on clarity, pace, stress, and that cool, contained confidence that makes every line land.

Brandon Weichert analyzes the growing threat of space warfare, referencing Russia's satellites shadowing German intelligence satellites and the Sino-Russian "no limits partnership." He explains that co-orbital satellites can render ground forces "deaf, dumb and blind." Weichert suggests developing small, cheap "bodyguard satellites" alongside France to protect sensitive US military constellations, acknowledging that space technology is inherently dual-use. 1941
