Childhood and youth

At the age of 13, Ilya entered the city KVN School League. In the final game, the teenager fought with the captain of the opposing team, Roman Klyachkin, who later became his best friend and colleague in the world of humor.

After graduating from Krasnoyarsk Lyceum No. 102, Ilya entered the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and Materials Science in Krasnoyarsk, and then received an acting education at the St. Petersburg Theater Academy (SPbGATI).

Humor

Even while participating in KVN, Sobolev and Klyachkin began performing in a duet called “Beautiful”. Soon the guys became residents of the Comedy Club Siberia. In 2007, the duo tried their hand at the first season of a new humorous competition from TNT, “Laughter without Rules,” in which they took 2nd place and received the right to participate in the “Slaughter League” show. In this show, until 2010, Ilya performed not only as part of the “Beautiful” duet, but also solo.

In August 2010, the TNT channel launched the entertainment show “Comedy Battle,” in which Ilya became one of the participants. The comedian, together with Dmitry Romanov, Evgeny Otstavnov, Konstantin Pushkin and Slava Komissrenko, performed as part of the “Aristocrats” clan in seasons 1 and 2 of the show and more than once became the author of the best jokes.

Ilya Sobolev in the Comedy Club: “Smirnov, Ivanov, Sobolev”

In 2011, the “Beautiful” duet became the winner of the 9th season of “Laughter Without Rules,” in which the finalists of previous seasons took part.

In the fall of 2013, Ilya Sobolev, together with Alexey Smirnov and Anton Ivanov, founded the trio “Smirnov, Ivanov, Sobolev” - in this composition, comedians became residents of the Comedy club show.

Ilya Sobolev and Uncle Vitya

Another proof that fans of domestic humor found is the show “Money or Shame.” Its host is Uncle Vitya, and on Ilya Sobolev’s VKontakte page, the official page of this program appears in the list of his subscriptions almost at the highest place.

Answer to the haters of the show “Money or Shame” from Uncle Vitya!

Ilya Sobolev in every possible way denied his involvement in the “Money or Shame” show. When MBAND participant Artem Pindyura, enraged by the show’s host’s phrase (“MBAND is a show for worms”), recorded a video message demanding an apology, Sobolev posted a response video, but not an “apologetic” one.

What is a business game? Specifics of organizing a business game during a training session at a university. What is the difference between a business game and training? An example of three business games in the course “Business Communication/Business Communications”.

Business game– this is an imitation of the work process, its modeling, a simplified reproduction of a real production situation. This is a method of consolidating the theoretical material received in the course “Business Communication”/Business Communications.”

The main features of a high-quality business game as a teaching method:

1. there is a task or problem that needs to be resolved;
2. distribution of roles and role functions;
3. modeling the management decision-making process;
4. interaction between game participants;
5. multiple alternative solutions;
6. presence of conflict situations;
7. the presence of a system for assessing gaming activity.

Goals of business games:

1. training through workflow simulation;
2. formation of a professional mentality;
3. motivation of students;
4. training management decision-making skills;
5. student assessment.

The difference between a business game and training

The game models the entire work process from start to finish (for example, organizing and conducting a business meeting), and the training addresses a specific aspect of the process (for example, the psycholinguistic aspects of business speech).

The game has a time limit (start and end), and training does not always have clear boundaries.

The game trains a set of skills, while the training is aimed at mastering one skill.

There are always winners and losers in the game, and training is aimed only at personal indicators.

The game always has a specific goal, which can only be achieved with the help of effective solutions, and training does not always have clear goals.

Examples of business games

Business game “Assigning a task to a subordinate.”

Purpose of the task– conduct a business conversation with a subordinate regarding the assignment of a production task:

• the task is traditional, planned;
• the task is extreme, unplanned.

Preparing for the game. Participating in the game leader and subordinate. The group acts as an observer. The person acting as a manager needs to think through a possible task and select an official (for example, an economist, a fire safety specialist, a fire inspector, etc.) to whom it will be entrusted.

Then you should prepare for the content of the business conversation:

• explain the task and instruct the subordinate;
• bring the task to the stage of understanding by subordinates of its essence;
• motivate subordinates to conscientiously and efficiently complete the task.

When bringing a task to the consciousness of a subordinate, the manager must ensure that the subordinate clearly understands what, when, how, under what conditions, by what forces and by what means, by what time, with what final results the assigned task must be completed.

During a business conversation, the manager gotta get answers for the next questions(to make the right decision):

1. Will this subordinate be able to complete the proposed task?
2. Does he want to do this task?
3. What kind of instruction and to what extent does he need?

The person playing the role of a subordinate (from among the trainees) is given an instruction to refuse to complete the task. Insufficient professional competence is used as arguments for refusal. This attitude will allow the person performing the role of a leader to apply psychological, pedagogical and communicative techniques of influence on the subordinate, forming his psychological readiness to complete the task. In addition, the recognition of a subordinate's incompetence will provoke the manager to give instructions.

Organization of a game lesson

The person acting as a manager conducts a business conversation with a subordinate in two versions: first a planned task, then an extreme task, i.e. unplanned. Each conversation lasts from 15 to 20 minutes. The roles of performers can be played by those interested from among the students.

The remaining participants act as competent judges. Their goal is to analyze the results of a business conversation, instruction and the communication techniques used. After the performance, a discussion is held in which all participants are involved.

Preliminary preparation for a business conversation - assigning a task

1. Come up with and formulate a task in the form of a management decision, as well as the conditions necessary for its implementation.
2. Set your goals for the upcoming conversation.
3. Make a plan for the conversation in advance, think about the time, place and organizational conditions for its holding.
4. Consider the beginning of the conversation, introducing the interlocutor into the conversation, and the conditions for creating an atmosphere of complete trust.
5. Prepare questions for your subordinate, the clarification of which will help achieve your goal.

Note: To complete this task, the person acting as the leader is given 10 minutes.

Progress: invite a subordinate to your place and tell him the reason for the call.

• Explain the work that needs to be done to the subordinate and ask him if he can handle it.
• Answer all questions from the subordinate regarding the upcoming work; if necessary, show him how he can do it.
• Explain the requirements regarding the timing of this work and keeping you informed of its progress.
• Ask the subordinate to repeat the task or ask where he plans to start.
• Show confidence in the subordinate’s abilities, use the “advance praise” technique.
• Use communication techniques taking into account the psychotype of the subordinate. If a subordinate refuses to complete a task, find out the reasons for the refusal, try to eliminate them, motivate the specialist taking into account his personal expectations, and bring the conversation to an end.
• End the conversation with a concrete decision and action.

Business game “Meeting”

Purpose of the business game- acquiring skills in organizing preparation and holding business meetings with maximum efficiency.

Procedure for conducting a business game:

• When conducting a business game, there is no distribution of roles, and the participants are everyone present in the lesson.
• The game leader reminds participants of the basic theoretical principles for preparing business meetings, which include the following main groups of actions: meeting planning; setting the agenda; determining the composition of participants; preparing participants for the meeting; preparation for the manager's meeting; preparation of the premises; direct holding of the meeting.

2. Form subgroups of meeting preparation participants (those who prepare documents for the meeting, those who participate in the meeting, those who prepare documents after the meeting).
3. The rest of the group of students are meeting participants who are expected to ask questions during the meeting.

If, in the opinion of the presenter, the goal of the meeting has been achieved, the results of the work are summed up. If developing a solution fails, you can try to simplify the problem by changing the proposed circumstances. Finally, the final decision is formulated and written down in the form of a resolution.
