Nespresso’s Jean-Marc Dragoli takes this to a new level, stealing away for a “coffee moment” seven to ten times a day!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He teaches you how a cup of coffee can facilitate anything from quiet reflection to a sense of connection with farmers on the other side of the globe. He also gives you the low-down on caffeine content and decaf, as well as suggestions for brewing your own cup at home.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jean-Marc is also a serial language learner, speaking at least “five and a half” languages in his estimation. He shares his secrets for learning and maintaining multiple languages, and why it’s a critical skill if you want to connect with a new culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Connect with Jean-Marc Dragoli on <a href="https://twitter.com/jmdragoli?lang=ta" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdragoli/?originalSubdomain=au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Check out the Nespresso Professional range: https://www.nespresso.com/pro/au/en/</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with me on the socials:</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanthaimber" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linkedin</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/amantha" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/amanthai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a fortnightly newsletter that contains three cool things I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.
