"فن اللامبالاة" هو أسلوبُ حَيَاةٍ يُشجع على التركيز على الأمور المهمة حقًا في الحياة وتجاهل التفاصيل التي لا تُضيف قيمة حقيقية.
يسعى هذا الفن إلى التخلص من القلق والتوتر الناجمين عن محاولة إرضاء الجميع أو السعي نحو الكمال.
يعتمد فن اللامبالاة على فكرة تقبل الحياة بما فيها من تحديات وصعوبات والتركيز على ما يمكن تغييره وتحسينه.
يعتبر هذا الفن وسيلة لتعزيز الصحة النفسية من خلال تقليل الضغوطات الاجتماعية والشخصية.
يشجع على فهم أن السعادة والرضا يأتيان من الداخل وليس من المحاولات المستمرة لتحقيق توقعات الآخرين.
يُسَاهِمُ في بناء شخصية قوية ومستقلة وقادرة على اتخاذ قرارات صائبة بناءً على القيم والأولويات الفردية.

3 Tips to Improve Your Confidence Speaking Business English. + A personal story being a manager in London.

1. Avoid giving solutions

People are not interested ( until they ask ) what you think about XXX...Sometime they just want to share and they want to be heard, give them this opportunity to shine!

2. Using coaching strategies to lead your team. Too many managers try to keep their teams in the state of fear - causing demotivation and resistance ( I've share a bit of my story in the podcast)

3.  Agree and add

People want to know that they are listened to, therefore, agree with them and add in further information if relevant.

Try it on for size (an idiom, stands for: To try, use, or consider something in order to make a decision or form an opinion about it. Likened to putting on a garment to see if it fits.) so try these tips for yourself and see how you'll like it.

Paa ng Paru-paro

Stoisisme, en av de fire store tankeskolene som ble etablert i hellenistisk tid, ble grunnlagt i den gamle agoraen i Athen av Zenon fra Citium rundt 300 f.Kr. Stoikerne trodde at praksis av dyd er tilstrekkelig for å oppnå eudaimonia, et vel levd og blomstrende liv. Stoikerne identifiserte veien til å oppnå dette med et liv der man praktiserer visse dyder i hverdagen, som mot eller måtehold, og lever i samsvar med naturen.

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.
