Overview

"Magical Ways of Listening and Communicating that Resonate with Adults ~Communication Skills Transformed by a Single Word~"

Have you ever considered how much unconsciously used words can demotivate others? I am a mother of triplets, who were the main culprits of classroom disruption during my first experience with childcare. In the midst of daily, overwhelming childcare, I studied psychology and now teach communication skills to companies and mothers raising children.
If you are struggling with communication with your boss, subordinates, colleagues, or business partners, please join us.

Course Content

・Effective Listening

Techniques for deep understanding and building trust through listening

Listening while doing something else, or being listened to while looking away. In contrast, by making eye contact and using interjections such as "ha, fu, he, ho, + so", the speaker feels at ease and can reach their own conclusions.

・Labeling Terms

How to recognize and improve the impact of unconsciously used words on others

Do you use judgmental words like "Do it again" or "You're always like that" without thinking?

・"I" Message: The Most Powerful Way to Reprimand

Effective reprimanding that resonates with others and promotes behavioral change

Messages with "you" as the subject, such as "You must do this," "You should do this," or "You should stop doing that," may not convey your message to the other person, who might only wish for the situation to end, potentially causing them to stop thinking for themselves. We will explain in detail the "I" message, which resonates with others.

This course involves speaking aloud and hands-on experience.
