校則とは学校の中での規則のことです。日本では厳しすぎる校則が問題になっています。東京都の教育委員会は去年の4月、都立高校などにいくつかの校則について生徒や親などと一緒に必要かどうかを考えるように言いました。例えば、下着の色や髪の毛の色についての校則などです。その結果、全部の学校が今年4月から、5つの校則を廃止することを決めました。

多くの：おおくの　a lot of
都立高校：とりつこうこうpublic high school in Tokyo
校則：こうそく school rule
規則：きそく rule

Cet épisode, c'est l'histoire de ma quête, celle d'une descendante de mineurs polonais qui cherche en vain - ou pas ? - les fantômes du passé.

Mes racines polonaises

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.
