Clubhouse APP: a New Social Platform That Will Skyrocket Your Communication Skills | Transcript Clubhouse APP: A New Social Platform that will Skyrocket your Communication Skills | Transcript Hey everyone, it’s Hadar. Thank you so much for joining me. Today I want to tell you about a new social platform called Clubhouse. And Clubhouse is the ideal place to improve your communication skills, especially if English is not your first language. Think of Clubhouse as one big fat Zoom call: with a lot of breakout rooms, without the video, and without the chat; so it’s only based on audio. Now, there are a few downsides to Clubhouse that I’m going to talk about at the end. But before that, I want to tell you a little bit about how it works, so you can try it out and use it to boost your fluency confidence, and of course, clarity; and also why I think it actually helps develop a new way of communication. And that requires people to step out of their comfort zone. If you’re new to my channel, by the way, my name is Hadar. I’m a non-native speaker of English. And I am here to help you speak English with clarity, confidence, and freedom. You can find me at @hadar.accentsway on Instagram if you want to connect even more. Okay. So, when you think about Clubhouse, it is basically like you are walking into this party, and in the party there are a lot of small rooms that you are kind of like walking around between with your martini. And then on the door of each true room, there is a sign with the name of the room, like what’s happening in the room. So, in one room, people might be talking about learning languages and in another room about science, and in another room about podcasting, and another room – YouTube Q&A. So, every room is really different, and the rooms that you see are actually based on your preferences, and what you love to learn about and talk about, and what you’re interested in. So, then you just walk around between the rooms and you’re like, “Okay, I wanna go into that room that talks about podcasting.” I like talking about podcasting because I have a podcast, if you don’t know. It’s called the InFluency Podcast. Just saying. And you open the door and you walk into the room. Now, don’t worry. It’s not like the moment you walk into the room there is a spotlight on you that requires you to speak. No, you enter the room and then you are still the audience. You’re observing what’s happening on stage. Now, on stage – it’s like separated – on stage you’ll find a moderator, the person who actually opened the room and decided to name it whatever name that is. And other people who were invited to the stage. And the people who are on the stage, they can unmute themselves and have a free conversation about that topic. So, when you’re just the audience, then you can’t speak, but you can raise your hand and ask to get called on stage. So once they bring you on stage – and the person who brings you on stage is the moderator – once they bring you on stage, then you can simply unmute yourself 2020 © All rights Reserved To Hadar Shemesh | 1 Clubhouse APP: A New Social Platform that will Skyrocket your Communication Skills | Transcript and speak; they can invite you to talk. It depends on how many people are in the conversation. Sometimes people are having a free conversation between three, four or five people. Sometimes there are like 15 people on stage, so the moderator calls on people. Sometimes they’ll invite you to ask a question and then answer you. So it’s really, really cool, especially in the small rooms where you end up finding four or five people that are passionate about the same topic. And then you just simply have a conversation. And you can be in your pajamas because there is no video. And you shouldn’t be afraid of typos because you don’t have to chat. So it’s all about you and your voice. Scary? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely. Now, here’s the thing. And here’s why I think this form of communication is really powerful. Because when you speak, think about it, when you speak to people in front of you, you are used to seeing their reactions, right, like how they respond to what you’re saying, they usually nod, they say things like ‘uh-huh’. And that makes it easier for us to be engaging and to stay in the conversation. You even have that when you are in a Zoom call – even though they might be muted, if you’re speaking, you can still see them. But here you can’t see people’s faces. So you really have to muster up all your courage and to believe that people are interested in what you have to say. And to speak confidently in a way that gets people to listen. So I think that the communication skills required from the moderators or the people who are speaking are unique. And if you are able to do a good job on this platform, it can definitely level up your way of communicating in the day-to-day life. And also it’s really interesting as a listener or as the audience. It’s really interesting to see how people deal with this challenge. How they communicate; how they’re able to keep us engaged and interested, even though they can’t see us, it requires another level of energy I believe. And I think that it’s a really great and interesting lesson to learn. So, I think that is really telling, and you can learn a lot about communication. And of course, If English is not your first language, then when you listen to different speakers, you hear different voices, different accents, right? English is not just standard English, like what you know from YouTube. So, it’s so great to expose yourself to that. It’s like an interactive podcast – when you listen to the podcaster, but then all of a sudden people ask questions and they answer. So it’s really cool, and if you get bored, you simply walk out of the room, so out of the chat, and then you go into another room. And the best part is that once you join, you can open your own room and start a conversation with your friends or choose a topic. And you can be the moderator. And think about what an amazing 2020 © All rights Reserved To Hadar Shemesh | 2 Clubhouse APP: A New Social Platform that will Skyrocket your Communication Skills | Transcript opportunity that is for you to improve your English. Now, I want to tell you about my first interaction on Clubhouse, the first time I spoke there. Because it was not at all glamorous, not at all. And I want you to hear it so you get comfortable if your first experience speaking is not that great. So, I was sitting on the couch Saturday night in my pajamas, very tired, and I’m listening to this conversation about YouTube. And I was like, “Should I ask a question? Nah, I don’t feel like it.” And then I said to myself, “Okay, Hadar. What you’re feeling now is resistance. You don’t want to do it because it’s going to require you to feel a little uncomfortable and to speak in front of people that you don’t know.” But here is the thing. I always tell my students to get out of their comfort zone and to do the things that are uncomfortable. And every time they recognize that resistance, they need to still do it anyway. And I said, “If you can’t do what you preach, then, you know, how can you even ask your students to do that?” So I was like, “Okay. Okay, Hadar.” I had that conversation with myself. And I asked to be called, so I raised my hand. And a few minutes later they invite me to go into stage. So I’m like, “Oh no! I didn’t think that they’re actually going to call me. It’s a big room with hundreds of people. I don’t feel like it.” So I was playing with the idea of leaving and then I said to myself, “No, Hadar, you’ll do it anyway. So, you’ll be over it. And then it’s going to be easier.” Cause I knew that once I have that experience of speaking once, it’s going to be easier. And it’s so crazy because I once had a live in front of more than 1000 people. Right? And I’m making videos, I have no problem going live on Instagram or on Facebook. But all of a sudden speaking to a hundred people was scary to me. And I think it’s because it’s a new platform and these people don’t know me, and it’s not comfortable. Right? Like you get into that, “What are people gonna think?” Anyway. So I was waiting to speak and then I spoke. And, you know, I wasn’t at my best, I was a little confused. And my daughters were sleeping, and I was having all these things going through my head.

  • Security Risks and Recommendations for Audio-Centric
    Mind Your Voice: Security Risks and Recommendations for Audio-centric Social Media Platforms Technical Brief With an estimated growth rate of about half-million users per day, or 6 million users per month,1 ClubHouse is probably the most popular audio-only social network at the moment, albeit not the only one: Riffr,2 Listen,3 Audlist,4 and HearMeOut5 are some of the alternatives, while we've been waiting for the upcoming Twitter Spaces.6 There’s also Discord,7 which we didn't consider in our analysis because, despite having audio features, it's not centered around audio. This technical brief aims to provide users, app creators, and social network service providers practical security recommendations about the security risks brought forth by audio-only social networks. In parallel and independent from the research8 published by the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), we analyzed the apps (primarily ClubHouse but also including Riffr, Listen, Audlist, and HearMeOut). Among other attacks, we also found that, under some circumstances, an attacker can passively collect sensitive information about ongoing conversations, even "locked" ones; including participants, their identifiers, names, photos, and so on, without the need to join that room. This poses a clear privacy risk. Some security risks that we highlight here are unique to the ephemeral nature of audio-only social networks, while some are shared with other modern social network platforms (audio-centered or not). This research has been conducted in February 8-11 of this year. At the time of publication, some of the issues described in this document might have been or are currently being fixed by the app vendors.

  • February Newsletter.Pub
    Club news! FEBRUARY 2021 NEWSLETTER February 2021 The COVID 19 virus continues to impede normal life and based on utilization of the club by members it has impeded food and beverage sales. January is traditionally a slow month at the club, but this January has been especially slow. Additionally, funds derived from holiday parties just didn’t materialize in December. My hope is that February is a turn-around month for all of us. As mentioned in previous publications, the club was not eligible for any governmental assistance. The management staff has looked for ways to keep all of you engaged and keep our front-line staff employed. This has been a challenge, but we are surviving. The pool complex project continues to progress. We are expecting the pool renovation company to be onsite sometime this month to install the new gutter system that will provide water to and from the new filtration system being installed in the pool house. Based on new technology we can dispose of the large chlorine tanks. This will improve the quality of the pool water and improve the esthetics, by not having the large unsightly tanks next to the pool house. Additionally, the construction crew will concentrate on the inside of the pool house now that the exterior walls are set along with the new roof. February 9th at 6 p.m. is the annual stockholders meeting. If you are not able to attend the meeting in person, please turn in your proxy as soon as possible. We cannot conduct business at the annual meeting without the majority of member owners participating either in person or via proxy vote.
