  • In this lesson, we will see what to say in order to motivate an employee.

  • Hello, Ms. Taylor. Good afternoon.

  • Good afternoon, Keith. Please be seated.

  • You wanted to talk about the project?

  • Yes! Your work on the project was pretty good. I think you performed very well!

  • Thank you!

  • I do have a few suggestions for you.

  • Did I make any mistakes?

  • No, there are no mistakes, but some of the presentations need to be more detailed.

  • Oh. I’ll take care of that.

  • Keep up the good work, Keith.

  • I’ll keep doing my best!

  • Good morning, Ms. Taylor.

  • Good morning, Peter. Great work on that report!

  • Oh, really? Thank you!

  • Yes, the clients were very impressed.

  • I’m glad to hear it.

  • I hope you can do the same with the new assignment too.

  • Of course. You can count I will!

  • Hello, Ron. Come and have a seat.

  • Thank you, Mr. Smith. You wanted to see me?

  • I wanted to talk about your performance this week.

  • Yes, I know there were a lot of mistakes.

  • Well, youre right, but youve done such good work in the past. I think you were a bit off this week. Do take care for the next one, will you?

  • Sure, Mr. Smith. I can do better.

  • I am sure you can do better!

  • Thank you!

  • Mark, the pictures you sent me for the river project. They weren’t so well shot.

  • You think so? What needs to be different?

  • Mark! Youre the professional. Why are the angles so common and uninspiring? Do you remember the field shoot you did last month? It was so much better!

  • I get it. Actually the riverside was too crowded for a good shoot.

  • I don’t know about that, Mark. You couldve selected a different time for the shoot. You gotta redo it.

  • Right! I get the point. I will bring in some fresh pictures by Monday.

  • Hello, Caroline. Please have a seat. You wanted to see me, right?

  • Yes, Mr. Smith. I’ve made the pitch to the client, and now were waiting for the order.

  • Waiting? I thought you’d bring the order along with you, Caroline.

  • Well, not this time. These guys are not easy to negotiate with.

  • I am surprised! Youve always closed deals early. This one’s the odd one out.

  • I know, Sir. Everyone has a bad day.

  • I’m not worried. I am sure you will clinch it.

  • Your work on the project was pretty good. I think you performed very well!

  • I do have a few suggestions for you.

  • Great work on that report!

  • I hope you can do the same with the new assignment too.
