An unusual goal-setting technique and its effects – Balajcza Linguistic Services has a new office in Cracow

Aside from receiving wishes, how do you make the next year better than the last? It’s best to make one’s own luck and set specific goals for 2022. And then, determine the best way to plan these goals to actually achieve them.

There are many goal-setting methods: SMART, EXACT, backward planning… And each has its own benefits. Some of them originate from the world of business and coaching, while others can be linked back to writers.

Such is the case with backward planning – this is the method used by Kurt Vonnegut, an unusual writer who planned his books “backwards”. First, he imagined the ending, and then he thought about what had to happen to result in a given situation.

It also soon became apparent that this is a great way to set goals in real life – you never lose sight of the goal, and you end your planning session on the “here and now” stage, which means you can take the relevant steps immediately.

How does it actually work? Let’s illustrate this with an example:

At Balajcza, the goal was established last year and involved the opening of a new office in Cracow in January 2022.

If we assume the goal was set in August/September, there are 4 months to work towards it. Following Kurt Vonnegut’s method, we divide this time into segments and consider what needs to happen by the end of each segment so that the main goal can be achieved:

1) The office needs new employees. So, in December, existing employees have to be assigned to work there or new people have to be hired. However, the office space needs to be ready for their arrival – it needs to be furnished, preferably in the same month.

2) Taking this into account, the rental formalities need to be completed in November.

3) Therefore, by the end of October, the site should already be selected, and before that, some research needs to be done on the real estate market.

4) However, to know exactly what kind of office space to look for, the budget and key criteria have to be specified – it would be a good idea to do an analysis as early as September.

And this is exactly what happened. This January, we’re not just planning, we’re celebrating the achievement of our goal! Balajcza Linguistic Services now has a second office in Cracow that will help us support you even more efficiently.

On-line workshop with BALAJCZA – “How to communicate effectively in an intercultural environment”

Tuesday, 18 January 2022
11 am-12 pm

Cross-cultural teams are becoming increasingly popular these days. Cultural differences contribute to more creative and effective teams, which in turn can bring measurable benefits. Unfortunately, sometimes there can be a lack of mutual understanding, which leads to tensions and conflicts in the team, resulting in low team productivity and a lack of motivation and desire to work. It is important not to underestimate these misunderstandings and to pay more attention to proper communication, which is more challenging in a multicultural environment and thus becomes even more meaningful.

During the meeting you will learn:

What is intercultural communication
What are the types of intercultural communication
What communication barriers we can encounter in a cross-cultural environment and how can we manage them
How to deal with cultural differences in business

High volume translation… As fast as you need it

Sometimes in business there is no time to lose – the customer is waiting and you need to quickly make an offer or sign a contract. The deal is urgent, it should be finalized within a week, but… there are still several hundreds of pages of documentation to be translated.

How long will it take? – our clients often wonder when they order a translation under time pressure.

It obviously depends on the number of pages, but the translation of large files usually takes from a dozen to several dozen days.

Too slow? That’s true. In a dynamic business environment, you need to react faster.

That’s why at BALAJCZA we have a special mode for express orders, where we bring forward the delivery times – both for small and large orders. We look at each order individually and engage all available translators to deliver the translation to the client as soon as possible.

However, speed is not the only advantage of ordering high volume translations from Balajcza – we offer an additional discount for large orders!

Do you need your translation right away? We will make sure that you don’t lose any business opportunity.

On-line workshop with BALAJCZA

Tuesday, 21 December 2021

11 am-12 pm

“Language traps we can avoid”

Linguistic communication is the human communication process which occurs by means of linguistic signs, transmitted either orally or in writing. The development of communication theory is in particular linked to the emergence and advancement of cybernetics as a science of general principles of information control and transmission.

Linguistic communication is a specific form of conveying information through language (see: the communicative function of language). This process consists of the following elements and actions: the interlocutors (speaker, listener), the message, and the encoding and decoding of information through language (language code).

During the workshop we will talk about:

acronyms
the correct declension of surnames
the basic rules of punctuation

The meeting will be hosted by Ms Olga Marek-Kostrzewska, a Polish language teacher at the Lingua Polonica school, and a marketing and PR specialist by profession. She built her experience working for companies such as Benefit Systems and at numerous marketing conferences.

The meeting will be held in Polish.

On-line workshop with BALAJCZA – “How to work with the British”

Tuesday, 9 November 2021
11 am-12 pm

They say that the world is a global village. Studying, meeting in shops and working with people of different nationalities aren’t anything new anymore. Changes in communication and the movement of labour and capital are facilitating this transformation.
Collaborating with foreigners can bring many advantages. These include creativity, new ways of troubleshooting, acceptance and tolerance of diversity.
However, international cooperation also involves certain challenges. These include not only language barriers, but also, and perhaps above all, cultural differences.
If you’re working with British partners and you wish to have an excellent relationship that will increase your advantage over your competitors – join our meeting.

During the meeting you will learn:

what Brits say and what they’re actually thinking,
how to build relationships with the British,
how to write emails so that they are well received by the British,
whether small talk is necessary,
how the British give feedback,
how to talk to a British boss.

The topic of working effectively with the British will be discussed by:

She has 13 years of experience in the design, implementation and evaluation of global onboarding programs, product training, e‑learning programs, as well as in Talent Management projects in an international organization.

She and her team have designed and implemented development programs for employees and area managers: EMEA, APAC and AMER (Poland, the UK, Estonia, India, the Philippines, Hong Kong, the USA).

She shares her management experience with managers in the training room and remotely, conducting courses on topics such as: improving managerial skills, First Time Manager, team management, including dispersed teams, managing generations in the organization, conducting effective meetings, building effective teams, change management, the culture of management by values in the organization, the culture of feedback, effective team communication and intercultural communication.
