Italiano Chiaro - Cultura e Tradizioni 

There are many reasons why you should speak about money in the workplace such as salary negotiations, sales and purchasing, accounting, budgeting and resources... the list goes on.

However, whatever the reason there are always some drawbacks to discussing money:

You are talking about your money. The person you are engaging with will be focused on their money. You might need to check the basic assumptions to check that you and your opponent are talking about the same thing as often this is not the case. You need to express different perspectives and points of view on values, inputs and outputs, and ownership, etc., which can be difficult, and sometimes delicate, to do.

SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM PRICE TO VALUE

Talk in a way that places focus on the benefits you can offer your counterpart and not what claims you want to make for yourself personally. What savings can you give, what profits can you enhance? This is also particularly relevant when you are in an interview, as you can show what an economical advantage it would be for you to be hired rather than the next person, as businesses are always interested in those that can help boost business!

BizPod Episode 10 - Money, Money, Money!

みなさん、こんにちは。
今日は朝からレッスンがあったのですが、キャンセルになってしまったんです。
で、「あー、ジョギングしようかな、どうしようかな」って、10歳の娘に言ったら「走ったほうがいいよ。だって、ママすぐに食べちゃうじゃん」と言われたので、いつものコースを走ることにしました。
週に2，3回、5キロぐらい走っているんですよ。少し涼しくなってきたので、朝のジョギングは気持ちがいいんですが、走るまでがつらい。走ってしまったら、気持ちがいいんですけどね。
というわけで、娘の登校のタイミングで家を出て30分ぐらい走りました。なので、今は爽快（そうかい）な気分です。

秋と言えば、「読書の秋」ですね。私はテレビを見るというよりも読書をするのが好きです。本屋さんに行くとついつい買ってしまうのが「賞を受賞した本」「たくさん売れている本」なんです。日本語教師という職業柄（しょくぎょうがら）なのか、社会の変遷（へんせん）に興味があるからなのか、それともただのミーハーなのか、それはよくわかりませんが、「今話題になっている本」を買ってしまうんです。あ、「ミーハー」って、流行に飛びつくって意味なんですが、昔流行（はや）った言葉なのでもう死語（しご）かもしれないです。
で、夏休みに、どこの本屋さんでも一番売り出されていた、逢坂冬馬（あいさかとうま）さん作の『同士少女よ、敵を撃て』という本を買って、一気読みしました。2022年に本屋大賞を受賞した本なんです。読み終わった後は、「あー、期待を裏切らない作品」「戦争は本当に嫌だ」「戦争中は、女も男も全く関係なくなって、人間が人間じゃなくなるんだな」って。この本は、壮大な歴史を背景に、個的なドラマを作り上げている作品なんです。戦場になだれ込み、本に吸い込まれるように読んでしまいました。
それから、先週読んだ本は『准教授・高槻彰良の推察（じゅんきょうじゅ・たかつきあきらのすいさつ）』です。これ、ドラマにもなっていたんですね。生徒さんにこの本を紹介してもらいました。これ、面白い！！
怪異事件を捜査するミステリーなんですが、日本語がとてもきれいなんですよね。（そう感じるのは私だけかな）
しかも、高槻准教授は民俗学が専門ですから、ミステリーを読みながら日本文化も理解できる本です。そして、深町尚哉（ふかまち なおや）という大学生が出てきますから、日本人の大学生活も垣間（かいま）見ることができるんです。これはシリーズ本で、私が読んだのは1巻です。7巻ぐらいまでありますから、この先も楽しみです。
ぜひ皆さんも読んでみてください。
それから、最近みなさんが読んだ本やマンガ、そしてアニメを私に紹介してください。

Is a White Snowy Christmas in Your Dreams? Here's What the Weather Says

Negotiation is a cornerstone of leadership. From securing contracts to resolving team conflicts, leaders must navigate agreements that benefit all parties. Here's how to excel at this vital skill:

1. Know Your BATNA: Before entering negotiations, determine your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). This empowers you to walk away if an offer falls short of your needs. A strong BATNA strengthens your position and gives you room to make concessions.

2. Collaborative Spirit: Aim for win-win solutions. Leaders understand successful negotiation isn't about dominance, but building long-term relationships. Focus on common interests and identify areas where compromise can create mutual benefit.

3. Active Listening: Master the art of active listening. Pay close attention to the other party's needs and concerns. Ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully grasp their position. This fosters trust and allows you to tailor your approach.

4. Clear Communication: Articulate your goals and needs clearly, using strong communication skills.  Back up claims with data and evidence to support your arguments.  Be assertive, yet respectful, avoiding aggressive tactics that can damage relationships.

5. Leverage Body Language: Nonverbal cues speak volumes. Maintain confident eye contact, an upright posture, and avoid fidgeting. Projecting confidence strengthens your position and demonstrates your seriousness.

6. Be Flexible, Not Fixed: While you enter negotiations with clear goals, be prepared to adapt.  Unexpected issues may arise.  Maintain a flexible mindset, willing to consider alternative proposals that achieve your core objectives.

7. Patience is Key: Negotiations rarely happen overnight. Be patient, allowing time for discussion and counter-proposals. Don't rush the process to avoid settling for an unfavorable deal.

By mastering these strategies, leaders can transform negotiations from battles into opportunities for collaboration and mutual success.
