Un detto italiano dice: "Non si può avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca", applicandolo al tema di oggi, è molto difficile avere un salario alto e molto tempo libero. Purtroppo spesso è anche difficile avere del tempo libero pur non avendo un salario alto. Ma in genere, se è vero che il tempo è denaro, più ne vendiamo più si guadagna. Quanto vale la nostra libertà?

An impromptu speech  refers to a presentation delivered with little to no prior preparation. Often called "speaking off the cuff," it requires the speaker to think on their feet and effectively communicate ideas on a given topic with minimal notice. Impromptu speeches can arise in various situations, including:

Meetings: Brainstorming sessions, project updates, or responding to questions from colleagues can all turn into impromptu speaking opportunities.

Client Interactions: A chance meeting with a potential client or answering unexpected questions during a presentation might necessitate impromptu remarks.

Networking Events: Making a strong first impression often involves conversing and sharing ideas on the spot.
While lacking the polish of a prepared speech, impromptu presentations offer several benefits:

Authenticity: Speaking without a script can project genuine enthusiasm and passion for the topic.

Adaptability: Impromptu speeches allow you to tailor your message to the audience's interests or address emerging issues.

Thinking Skills: They challenge your critical thinking and communication skills on the fly.
Here are some tips for delivering successful impromptu speeches:

Take a Breath: A brief pause allows you to collect your thoughts and formulate a response.

Start with a Strong Opening: Grab attention with a relevant anecdote, statistic, or question.

Focus on Key Points: Organize your thoughts around a central message and a few supporting points.

Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon and speak in a concise and confident manner.

End Gracefully: Summarize your main points and conclude with a call to action or impactful statement.

By honing your impromptu speaking skills, you can become a more effective communicator and build trust with colleagues, clients, and potential partners in the business world.

In the business world, active listening goes beyond simply hearing information. It's a strategic communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and improves collaboration. It involves giving your full attention to a speaker, both verbally and nonverbally, to grasp the complete message. This includes:

Paying close attention: Minimize distractions, maintain eye contact, and avoid formulating counter-arguments while someone speaks.
Understanding nonverbal cues: Notice body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions to glean underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.
Asking clarifying questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.
Paraphrasing and summarizing: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness.
Empathy and emotional intelligence: Acknowledge the speaker's feelings and tailor your responses to create a safe space for open communication.
Active listening benefits businesses in numerous ways:

Stronger client relationships: By truly understanding client needs, businesses can provide more relevant solutions and build lasting partnerships.
Enhanced negotiation and sales: Active listening allows salespeople to tailor pitches and identify client concerns for successful deal-closing.
Improved team dynamics: Active listening fosters collaboration by ensuring everyone feels heard and valued, leading to better problem-solving and decision-making.
Reduced conflict: By giving speakers their due attention and clarifying positions, misunderstandings and conflicts are minimized.
Increased productivity: Active listening avoids wasted time due to miscommunication and ensures everyone is working towards the same goals.
By actively listening, businesses create a communication culture that fosters trust, collaboration, and ultimately, success.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

さて、今回も旅行の続きですね。
ドイツで思った日本と違うことについて話します。

いろいろ調べてみるとヨーロッパの他の国も多いみたいですが、日本とは圧倒的に違うことがありました。

それは車です。
今、日本の車はほとんどがオートマーautomaticです。
ドイツでは、ほとんどがマニュアルーmanual、stickでした。

はじめ、知り合いの方の車に乗せてもらった時に、マニュアル車でビックリしました。よっぽど車の運転が好きなんだなと思って話していたのですが、彼だけでなく、ほとんどの人がマニュアルに乗ってるよ、ということでした。

それで、翌日の朝、歩いている時に駐車されている車を何台も見ました。見た車のほとんどがマニュアル車でした。それは本当におどろきでした。

日本では、今マニュアル車を探すのは結構むずかしいと思います。

あともう1つ感じたことは、ものを長く使う文化がある、ということです。車ももちろんそうですが、街の中でも、新しくないけど、ずっと使われているような雰囲気がありました。

ドイツ人と日本人は似ているところがある、と聞くことがあります。ぼくもそう思うこともあります。ですが、たぶん1つ違うことは、日本人は新しいものが好きです。古いものももちろん好きですし大切にしますが、それよりも新しいものが好きな人が多いと思います。ドイツ人は古いものや昔からあるものを大切にしているんじゃないかな、と思いました。

個人的にはそこが違う部分でおもしろいなと思いました。


はい、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！
