Top Tip 5- How To Learn Vocabulary!

가끔은, 우리가 세운 ‘큰 목표’들이 영감을 주기보단 오히려 지치게 만들 때가 있죠.
이번 에피소드에서는 그런 순간에 대해 이야기합니다.
좋은 목표를 세웠는데 이상하게 동기부여는 금세 사라지고, 계획 세우는 나와 실행하는 내가 따로 노는 느낌. 
다들 느껴 보신 적 있으시죠?

You know that moment when your goals feel so big,
they stop inspiring you and start exhausting you instead?
This episode is about that.

SMART Goals for Active Listening:

Specific: Don't just aim to "listen better."  Define the context.  For example, "During contract negotiations with [client name], I will actively listen to identify their key concerns."

Measurable:  How will you track your progress?  "I will summarize key concerns after each discussion point and ask clarifying questions to ensure 80% accuracy in reflecting their needs."

Attainable: Be realistic.  Start by focusing on one aspect of active listening. Gradually incorporate more techniques as you progress.

Relevant: Ensure your goals align with the negotiation's objectives. "By actively listening, I aim to build trust, uncover potential areas of compromise, and reach a win-win agreement."

Time-bound:  Set a timeframe for achieving your goal.  "I will implement these active listening strategies throughout the negotiation process, which is expected to last for [duration]."

Active Listening Techniques for SMART Goals:

Nonverbal Cues: "I will maintain eye contact, avoid crossed arms, and nod to show understanding." (Measurable through self-awareness)
Clarifying Questions: "I will ask open-ended questions like 'Can you elaborate on that?' to ensure comprehension." (Measurable by tracking the number of questions asked)
Summarizing: "After each discussion point, I will summarize key concerns to confirm understanding and identify potential areas of agreement." (Measurable by accuracy of summaries)

Benefits of SMART Active Listening Goals:

Reduced Misunderstandings: Clear communication allows you to address the other party's true concerns, leading to smoother negotiations.
Building Trust: Active listening shows respect and genuine interest in finding common ground.
Identifying Opportunities: By truly understanding the other party's needs, you can uncover potential compromises or alternative solutions.
Increased Confidence: A clear understanding of the situation empowers you to negotiate effectively.
