Dans ce podcast, je vous explique deux expressions bien connues des français :
Tu es un Harpagon !
Tu es un Dom Juan.
Ces expressions sont des antonomases. Une antonomase, c'est une figure de style qui consiste à donner un sens à un nom propre, et ainsi en faire un nom commun.

Vous pouvez regarder ces deux pièces de théâtre de Molière dans les liens suivants :

SMART Goals for Active Listening:

Specific: Don't just aim to "listen better."  Define the context.  For example, "During contract negotiations with [client name], I will actively listen to identify their key concerns."

Measurable:  How will you track your progress?  "I will summarize key concerns after each discussion point and ask clarifying questions to ensure 80% accuracy in reflecting their needs."

Attainable: Be realistic.  Start by focusing on one aspect of active listening. Gradually incorporate more techniques as you progress.

Relevant: Ensure your goals align with the negotiation's objectives. "By actively listening, I aim to build trust, uncover potential areas of compromise, and reach a win-win agreement."

Time-bound:  Set a timeframe for achieving your goal.  "I will implement these active listening strategies throughout the negotiation process, which is expected to last for [duration]."

Active Listening Techniques for SMART Goals:

Nonverbal Cues: "I will maintain eye contact, avoid crossed arms, and nod to show understanding." (Measurable through self-awareness)
Clarifying Questions: "I will ask open-ended questions like 'Can you elaborate on that?' to ensure comprehension." (Measurable by tracking the number of questions asked)
Summarizing: "After each discussion point, I will summarize key concerns to confirm understanding and identify potential areas of agreement." (Measurable by accuracy of summaries)

Benefits of SMART Active Listening Goals:

Reduced Misunderstandings: Clear communication allows you to address the other party's true concerns, leading to smoother negotiations.
Building Trust: Active listening shows respect and genuine interest in finding common ground.
Identifying Opportunities: By truly understanding the other party's needs, you can uncover potential compromises or alternative solutions.
Increased Confidence: A clear understanding of the situation empowers you to negotiate effectively.
