The region has been at war for several years now. ALL the countries involved have been holding talks for over a year to try and end the fighting. The first attempt at peace was rejected within days, but further talks at reaching an agreement have taken place, and now it seems that the two sides are more determined to achieve a lasting peace.

Ep #1 - Networking Strategies

There are some key differences between negotiating in person versus doing so virtually. When meeting face-to-face, it is easier to build rapport and trust with the other party. Seeing someone's facial expressions and body language helps both sides understand the other's perspective. It is also simpler to have informal side conversations that can move the negotiation forward in a more fluid, organic way. However, in-person negotiations require more planning, travel time and costs associated with getting everyone together physically.

Virtual negotiations conducted via videoconference or phone eliminate the need for travel but make establishing rapport more challenging. Without in-person cues it is harder to read another party's reactions and know when to push further on an issue or concede a point. Technical difficulties can also potentially hamper the flow of virtual discussions. However, virtual formats have increased flexibility as negotiators can connect from anywhere at any time based on their schedules. Exchanging revised offers and documents is also simpler digitally.

While building trust is tougher online, maintaining detailed notes and finding ways to personalize virtual interactions such as using video can help overcome some of the impersonal aspects. With practice and the right strategies, negotiators can develop their virtual skills just as effectively as doing deals in a traditional face-to-face setting. Both in-person and virtual negotiations have pros and cons, so understanding these differences can optimize outcomes regardless of format.

Negotiating in Person Versus Virtual Negotiations - EP 38

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
92.93と食べ物シリーズなので、続けます。

今回は、おにぎり、です。
みなさんはおにぎりは知っていますか？
食べたことがありますか？

日本の食文化として、日本人にはとても馴染み深い食べ物です。日本のコンビニがある国では、見たことがある人もいるかもしれませんね。

おにぎりは日本が誇るソウルフードですね。お米と塩、海苔はほぼ共通の食材で、具を変えることでバリエーションは本当にたくさんあります。持ち運びにも優れているので、かなり昔から日本の食文化に根付いてきました。

歴史は、日本でいう弥生時代のころからもち米を使っておにぎりのようなものを作っていたところから始まります。日本の昔話にもよく出てきます。

　おにぎりはいろんな形があります。
三角型、丸型、円盤型、俵型があります。
また、最近ではにぎらないおにぎり「おにぎらず」というのもあります。

　おにぎりの食材もいろんな種類があります。
昆布、鮭、梅干、鰹かつお、シーチキンマヨネーズ、エビマヨネーズ、明太子、たらこ、高菜、いくら
などがあります。

　今は他にはわかめを混ぜたものだったり、オムライスをおにぎりにしたものだったり、いろんな種類があります。

　私は、明太子が好きです。それから、昆布も好きですね。
ネットで調べたら、海外の人はシーチキンマヨネーズが好きと書いてましたが、みなさんはどうですか？よかったら、ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回はおにぎりについて、話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
