Ouistiti et les balayeurs
Le papa de Ouistiti fait des cadres pour des tableaux. Un jour, il annonce:
- Ce matin, j'ai eu beaucoup de travail. Tant mieux! Plus j'ai de travail et plus je gagne de l'argent!
Cette réflexion rend Ouistiti songeur. Après le déjeuner, le petit singe sort dans la rue. Deux balayures nettoient le trottoir. Mais ils n'ont pas grand-chose à balayer! Ouistiti a une idée. Il court dans la cuisine, prends la poubelle et la vide sur le trottoir! Puis il dit au balayeur médusé:
- Comme ça, vous aurez plein de travail et vous gagnerez beaucoup d'argent!

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.

Today, I saw a heartbreaking video on TikTok of an old man who retired at 72 years old. He worked decades for a company and he was extremely loyal, even if he was earning minimum wage. In this podcast, I will discuss some valuable lesson we can learn from that video.

DON'T BE A SLAVE TO YOUR JOB

They say you can't have too much of a good thing — but according to a new study, maybe you can!

Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada found that people are feeling more bored than in the past, even though there are endless types of entertainment available.

Could this endless entertainment actually be causing increased feelings of boredom?

Possibly, the researchers say.

In their study, published in Communications Psychology, Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht looked at data from 2009 to 2020. They also looked at the relationship between digital media and reported feelings of boredom.

They found that people are reporting higher levels of boredom than ever before, with young people and college students feeling bored more often.

Many people reported feelings of boredom after engaging with digital media, leading Tam and Inzlicht to believe this type of entertainment is increasing feelings of boredom.

Digital media, they explain, is highly stimulating, which could cause people to be less interested in activities with lower stimulation, like reading a book.

And with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity and take enjoyment from it, the researchers added.

For example, looking at your phone while watching television makes it difficult to focus on what you're watching on TV, which makes it more difficult to enjoy the show.

There's also so much information available online that people often engage with quick, unrelated pieces of media, instead of longer, more meaningful information, which can leave people feeling unsatisfied and bored.

Earlier research by Tam and Inzlicht supports this idea, after it showed that switching between short videos resulted in increased feelings of boredom.

The researchers said we may need to become more comfortable with feeling bored — since not everything in life is meant to be constantly interesting!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

今日は、オンラインレッスンで日本語を練習する時に意識すると良いと思うことを話します。#380のPodcastからの続きです。

ポイント3つの話をしています。
・話したいトピックを持っておく
・質問したいトピックを持っておく
・いつもは人にあまり言わないようなことを話してみる

今日は3つ目を話します。

・いつもは人にあまり言わないようなことを話してみる

これです。

友達とか家族には話しにくい、話したくない、ということがありますよね。

だけど、関係のない人には話しやすい、ということがあります。

そういう話をしてみるとおもしろいと思います。
そういった時はたいてい、自分の内面的な話になることが多いと思います。

自分のコンプレックスや不安、今気になっていることなど。
もちろん言いたくないことを言う必要はないですが、話すと意外と気が楽になることもありますし、先生から思わぬアドバイスをもらえるかもしれません。

そうやって少し自分の心を開いて会話をはじめると、誠実な先生であれば、積極的に話を聞いてくれて、サポートしてくれると思います。

もちろん、いつもは使わないような日本語の練習としてもいいトピックになると思います。

ぜひ一度試してみてください。


ぼくは20年コーヒーショップで働いていました。
その経験の半分以上の期間はストアマネージャーとして働いていました。

マネージャーの仕事でたくさんの人の話を聞き、サポートをしてきました。メンター、コーチ、相手にあわせていろんな役割をしてきました。

仕事での気持ちの持ち方などはいつも考えながら働いていたので、何かのサポートになれると思います。

もし、少し悩んでいることがあって聞いてほしい！という方、ぜひお話しましょう。


と少し話がそれましたが、今回は日本語のオンラインレッスンで意識すること、についての3つ目のポイント、いつもは人に言わない話をしてみる、でした。

みなさんが日本語学習でオンラインで会話練習をする時などに意識すると良いと思います。

ぼくも英語や、今はトルコ語の勉強をがんばっています！
一緒に日本語の勉強もがんばりましょう！


ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
