Chapter 4: JJ Thomson

Meet JJ Thomson, the American founder of JBlock, the tech start-up that Lola is going to join as the new Commercial Director.
Let’s make sure you are familiar with these three common phrasal verbs. Do you always react immediately when your alarm clock GOES OFF? Do you have a Monday morning meeting where you RUN THROUGH the objectives of the week? How many difficult people do you have to DEAL WITH on a daily basis?
We also have a couple of idioms that you might find useful. If you feel like you don’t belong in a certain environment, you might be a ROUND PEG IN A SQAURE HOLE. If you don’t accept the traditional way of doing things, then you are a person that likes to CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO.
Finally, we discuss the concept of a company’s CORE VALUES. Do you know what this term really means? Do you know your own company’s core values?
We hope you enjoy the diverse and relevant content in this chapter. When you are ready for more, please sign up to live and interactive classes with Marina and me, right here:
