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.

Common mistakes made by English Language Learners Part 5: Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

みなさんは日本のコンビニは好きですか？
今日はコンビニのビニール袋(ぶくろ)のはなしです。
日本で有名なコンビニはいくつかありますね。

たとえば、セブンイレブン、ローソン、ファミリーマートなどです。

買い物をすると、ビニール袋に入れてくれます。

この袋は有料(ゆうりょう)です。

有料とはお金がかかることです。

つまり、袋を買わなければ、なりません。

ちなみに、有料の反対(はんたい)は‥

無料(むりょう)ですね。

コンビニのレジで、

"袋はいりますか？"

"いいえ、大丈夫です。"

といいます。

いいえ、大丈夫です。のほかには、

"袋はいりません。"

"そのままで大丈夫です。"

と言うことができます。

あなたの国では、袋は有料ですか？

それとも、無料ですか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！
