Chapter 46: Snake in the Grass
Show Notes

Lola confronts Cayetano at the offices of JBlock in front of all the programmers.

There are several common expressions that we need to explain in this chapter. What happens when you PULL THE TRIGGER on a deal? When do you need to CALL IN FAVOURS from your colleagues? And have you ever been LOST FOR WORDS in a discussion.

In the vocabulary section, we discuss legal words such as LAWSUIT and TO SUE. Then we examine some words that English borrows from French such as FACADE and COUP DE GRACE.  And finally, we explain why Cayetano is considered a MOLE.

Throughout the chapter we argue that BUSINESS MEETINGS ARE LIKE THEATRE, we also explain the difference between RHETORICAL AND LITERAL QUESTIONS. And finally we remind ourselves that when we suffer a disappoint or failure, THE BATTLE MAY BE LOST BUT THE WAR WILL CONTINUE.

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:
