쉐도잉 연습: How to Make People Feel HEARD - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
the best businesses, leaders will, on a semi-irregular basis, depending on the size of the business, it could be once a year,
2
but you go out to the field or you call people up and say, how are you?
3
Just checking in, wanted to see how you're doing.
4
Or, I want to learn about your career ambitions.
5
How did you find yourself in this profession?
6
Where do you want to go?
7
What are your ambitions?
8
Do you have kids?
9
Do you have a family?
10
Tell me something about you?
11
Do you like working here?
12
What is something that we can do better?
13
What's something that I'm not seeing?
14
And some of it might be helpful and some of it might not be helpful, but the point is you'll get information that you ordinarily wouldn't get,
15
and most important, they've probably never been asked before ever.
16
And so simply showing up to listen or take them out for lunch and get their input about the business,
17
they're on the front line.
18
So they actually have a lot of customer information that you don't have.
19
And so talking to them about what they're hearing, what they're seeing, what other business opportunities they think there are.
20
Listening is a big thing.
21
Listening is active, and listening is very difficult.
22
You should be, at the end of the day of listening, you should be exhausted, right?
23
Because you're not listening for words, you're listening for meaning.
24
And the goal of listening is not to prove that you heard.
25
The goal of listening is that they feel heard, right?
26
And so you don't have to agree with everything and you don't have to like everything.
27
You have to take it in.
28
You can ask clarifying questions.
29
But remember, they're going to take a risk to tell you something and if you receive it graciously,
30
they'll tell you more and more and more and you'll develop a relationship where honesty and truth becomes the currency.
31
If you're defensive or you attempt to correct or dismiss what they say,
32
they'll shut down and they'll tell you what you want to hear or tell you nothing because that's the condition you created.
33
And so good listening sounds like this.
34
Can you tell me are there things in this business that you think that we can do better?
35
And it doesn't matter if they're right or wrong.
36
It's their experience.
37
And you don't have to agree.
38
We always say that if you have an emotional response, if it makes you angry or upset, it's probably true.
39
If you feel nothing about what they said, then maybe they misunderstood, but you can still take it all in, write it down and say,
40
tell me more, go on, go on, what else?
41
And that's basically your entire job.
42
What else go on?
43
And you'll walk away the list and you'll be like, I knew these things were ready, these things I didn't know, these things, it's just a bit of a bitch fest, that's okay, everybody has that.
44
You'll walk away with some information, but most importantly, they feel heard.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
