Episode 106 - 謝りは慎重に - 大切な高級オイルを使うように | Use Apologies Sparingly – Like An Expensive Oil
あなたは日頃仕事でどれだけ謝っていますか? 「遅れてすみません。」 「すみません、カメラの調子が悪くて...。」 「つたない英語で申し訳ありません。」 しょっちゅう謝まっている(習慣化している)と、言葉が持つ本当の意味を失うだけではなく、ビジネスパーソンとしての評価にも傷をつけかねません。 謝罪は頻繁にするものではなく、本当に悪い行ないをした時のみするものです。 商談などハイレベルなビジネスシーンで使われるtactical apologyという交渉テクニックがあります。適切な場で謝罪することで効果を発揮するというものですが、私が今ここで話しているのはまた別の謝罪です。 ほとんどの場合謝る必要はなく、謝ることでかえって自分の信頼や存在価値を下げてしまうなんてことも。 上記3つの例をとって考えてみましょう。 「遅れてすみません」と頻繁に言う人は、他の人の時間を軽視していることを意味します。 「すみません、カメラの調子が悪くて...。」。カメラの調子が悪いなら、カメラが動いていないことだけを伝えれば良いのです。 「つたない英語で申し訳ありません。」なんて言わなければ、相手もあなたの英語のことを気にしなかったでしょう。英語のことよりビジネス内容に関心があるのではないでしょうか。 Sasuga! Podcast Episode 106では、エグゼクティブ・コーチ、Sarah Furuyaと次のことについてお話しします: Sarahにとって謝ることがなぜ「神聖」か。またそれが意味することとは? 日本人女性の強み - 特に50代女性の強みとは ワイルドだけど無茶しない生き方 Enjoy!

日本でエグゼクティブ・コーチとして活躍するSarah Furuya。彼女を待つクライアントとのミーティングルームに一歩足を踏み入れると、そこには未来を担う才能溢れる女性リーダーたちの姿が。Sarahはこの素晴らしい女性たちのビジネスパートナーとしてコーチング業をしています。 一見すると素晴らしい功績を収めた女性リーダーたち...のように見えるのですが... 実のところ、自信もなければ、改善すべき点がたくさんあると思い込んでいる女性が多いのだとか。 ある女性リーダー(45歳)は、プレゼンが終わるといつも同僚にフィードバックを求め、「私ってなんかダメ」という雰囲気を醸し出しては、そうすることで「やっぱり私はダメなんだ」と自分を諭していました。 しかしSarahのコーチングを受け、他人にフィードバックを求めることを辞め、「完璧な自分」に対する執着を手放した途端、たちまち「結果」に集中することができるようになったそうです。そんな彼女の変化は明らかで、周りの同僚も気がつくほどでした。 ダニエル・ラポルテの言葉を引用してSarahはこう教えてくれました。 ”Show up, shine, let it go”。 つまり、最善を尽くし、計画どおりに進まない場合は、学んで、前進あるのみ。 本当に改善すべきことがあるのなら、それ一点に集中することが重要で、「まだ足りない」、「私なんて」という漠然とした思いは捨て去った方が良いのです。 Sasuga! Podcast Episode 105では、Sarahと次のことについてお話しします: 人は誰にでも自分を形成する「ストーリー」(思い込み)があること(あなたは自分にどんなストーリーを言い聞かせていますか?) 医者、牧師、バーテンダ―の関連性(あなたが好きなことをするのとどう関係があるか) 自分の強みを受け入れることの大切さ Enjoy!
