Сегодня прочтем отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали”, автор Ян Ларри. Это история о том, как один профессор и двое детей (их имена есть в названии - мальчик Карик и девочка Валя) стали очень маленькими и исследовали наш мир с другой стороны, так сказать. Я очень любила эту книжку в детстве.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: це́лый - весь, полный - whole; забы́ть - перестать помнить - to forget; находи́ться - быть, пребывать, иметься где-нибудь - to be, locate; склони́ться - нагнуться, опуститься - to bow down; ста́рый знако́мый - an old acquaintance; стекло́ - glass; пау́к - spider; сра́зу - немедленно, в тот же момент - at once, right away, straight; рассмотре́ть - всматриваясь, распознать, осмотреть - to descry; ко́нчик его ноги - tip of his foot; ко́готь (или когото́к) - ноготь зверя или птицы - claw; гре́бень - crest, comb; у́зел паути́ны - web node; бык - bull; разгляде́ть - то же самое, что рассмотреть - to make out; че́люсть - jaw; взду́тый - swollen; брю́хо - живот животного - belly, abdomen; охо́титься - заниматься охотой - to hunt.

One of the key drivers of workplace anxiety is the fear of the unknown. When faced with a high-stakes negotiation, it's natural to feel apprehensive about the potential outcomes and the consequences of our actions. To combat this, it's important to thoroughly prepare and gather as much information as possible. Research the other party, understand their interests and priorities, and anticipate potential objections or roadblocks. The more informed and prepared you are, the more confident and in control you'll feel during the negotiation process.

Another common source of workplace anxiety is the fear of confrontation or conflict. Many people shy away from negotiations, worried that they'll come across as aggressive or that the interaction will turn adversarial. However, effective negotiation is not about winning at all costs; it's about finding a mutually beneficial solution. Approach the negotiation with a collaborative mindset, focusing on finding common ground and exploring creative options that address the needs of both parties.

Instead of viewing the negotiation as a high-stakes battle, consider it an opportunity to showcase your problem-solving skills and demonstrate your value to the organization. Shift your mindset from "I have to win" to "I have the chance to find a solution that works for everyone." This subtle shift in perspective can help reduce the sense of personal threat and allow you to engage in the negotiation process with greater confidence and composure.

Finally, it's important to remember that workplace anxiety is a natural and common response to high-pressure situations. Rather than trying to eliminate it entirely, focus on developing strategies to manage and channel that energy in a productive way. Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness practices, to help you stay grounded and focused during the negotiation process.
