It was his belief that all humans have an instinct that pushes them to grow and develop into completion and this lifelong process was what he called individuation: a state where we are no longer “divided”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, what does Jung mean by individuation or un-divided? It can be understood like this: we have explored both our inner landscapes and outer environments, we have heightened awareness with regards to our persona (social “mask”), we have acknowledged our personal “shadow” and take care not to project it onto those around us, we have an understanding of the anima (feminine energy in men) or the animus (masculine energy in women), we have recognized the infinite force of the unconscious on our daily acts and communication and we are humbled by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe it would be helpful to illustrate with some examples of “dividuals”. We can see people who seem to only thrive in the world of extraversion (excessive traveling, excessive planning of activities, excessive communicating on “exterior” subjects) and feel uncomfortable in moments of solitude or with sharing part of their “inner” person. The opposite of course would be true for dividuals only comfortable in the world of introversion. Other dividuals move through life with a persona so thick that we never have the impression of knowing who the real person is beneath. Dividuals with a massive shadow are people we gladly walk away from because they continually project that “darkness” or weight onto us, making us feel lousy after even a simple exchange. A man who has not integrated his anima will be the first one to make a cruel joke about male homosexuality, it can also be someone who is goal and performance oriented but unable to put words on an emotion or feeling (Emotional Intelligence). A woman who has not integrated her animus always needs to be in command and has a rampart of preconceived and rationalized opinions that she communicates to the world as if she were the owner or author. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-6599384893677870561?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/6599384893677870561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=6599384893677870561' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/6599384893677870561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/6599384893677870561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2008/08/dividuality_1686.html' title='Dividuality'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SLa8sOGeP9I/AAAAAAAAABg/NM5JWCrXTjc/s72-c/bigal101_P1030653.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-3656396029257474224</id><published>2009-01-24T19:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T11:50:20.358+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La relation France/Etats-Unis au travail</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SEQq9Dv9k_I/AAAAAAAAABE/1lC8hLHkXMY/s1600-h/DSCN1175.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207334297613997042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SEQq9Dv9k_I/AAAAAAAAABE/1lC8hLHkXMY/s320/DSCN1175.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;J'avais récemment face à moi un groupe de « coqs gaulois » travaillant pour une entreprise américaine, coqs qui avaient besoin de comprendre leurs chefs américains, « aigles des grands espaces ». C'est en effet un grand défi de vouloir communiquer entre espèces d'oiseau si différentes, mais c’est un défi tout à fait abordable, même dans le cadre d'une seule journée de formation. Néanmoins, si l’on dispose de si peu de temps, il faut savoir aller toute suite à « la question centrale »...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les spécialistes de l'interculturel évoquent trois différents niveaux de culture : le &lt;strong&gt;concret&lt;/strong&gt; (ce que la personne porte comme vêtements, ce qu'elle écoute comme musique, ce qu'elle mange,…) le &lt;strong&gt;comportemental&lt;/strong&gt; (le langage verbal et non-verbal, les comportements des individus, le système éducatif, la structure familiale, l'organisation de la société, …) et le &lt;strong&gt;symbolique&lt;/strong&gt; (valeurs, rites, coutumes, spiritualité, …).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Généralement quand je pose aux stagiaires la question suivante : « Par quel niveau vous définiriez-vous le plus en tant que français ? » la réponse est : « Par le niveau symbolique ». Il est vrai que même si l’on répond « Par le concret – je pense au foie gras ! » on peut voir qu’on glisse très vite dans le deuxième niveau, puisqu'il y a tout un comportement qui accompagne ce niveau concret : on ne mange pas son foie gras sur un mauvais pain de mie tout seul devant la télévision : même une tolosano-américaine sait cela ! Ce qui nous conduit donc tout de suite au troisième niveau – symbolique - puisque l’on peut aisément constater qu'il y a des valeurs autour du foie gras : la valeur du terroir, la valeur d'une culture historiquement agraire, la valeur du partage, la valeur du repas, la valeur de la famille.&lt;br /&gt;Lorsque je pose alors aux stagiaires la question : « Par quel niveau jugez-vous l'étranger ? » ceux-ci voient très clairement qu'ils ont porté un jugement sur les deux premiers niveaux, sans se pencher sur le niveau symbolique...&lt;br /&gt;Revenons donc à cette idée de « question centrale » : je suis convaincue que le « salut », dans la rencontre entre cultures, est justement de s'intéresser à ce niveau symbolique, sans lequel on reste dans le monde superficiel des stéréotypes et des recettes destinées à les combattre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans mes stages, je présente donc ce niveau symbolique, ce qui revient à présenter les valeurs des deux cultures pour essayer de mettre &lt;strong&gt;du sens&lt;/strong&gt; derrière des comportements qui peuvent agacer et qui posent le plus souvent problème : « Pourquoi plongent-ils dans le travail sans prendre le temps d'établir la confiance ? Que signifie « à l'heure » ? Quel est le but de la réunion ? On peut partager les informations cruciales avec qui et de quelle façon ? Quelle conséquence aura un engagement manqué ? Pourquoi crient-ils comme cela ? Pourquoi ne s'intéressent-ils pas plus à l'analyse ou au coté technique ? D'où vient ce pessimisme ? D'où vient cet optimisme ? Que signifie « teamwork » ? Jusqu'où peut-on prendre des risques ? Comment doit-on considérer le client ? Comment perçoit-on la hiérarchie ? Pourquoi sont-ils meilleurs en management que nous ? »&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'intelligence symbolique s'avère être une des clés majeures de la relation interculturelle réussie ; concomitamment, la pratique de la rencontre interculturelle est un des éléments générant le développement d’une intelligence symbolique qui sera fort utile au manager...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-3656396029257474224?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/3656396029257474224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=3656396029257474224' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/3656396029257474224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/3656396029257474224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2008/06/la-relation-franceetats-unis-au-travail.html' title='La relation France/Etats-Unis au travail'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SEQq9Dv9k_I/AAAAAAAAABE/1lC8hLHkXMY/s72-c/DSCN1175.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-6500886457737366245</id><published>2009-01-21T17:48:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T11:51:32.175+01:00</updated><title type='text'>True colors: a coaching story</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R9LEOVK9FZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vY_NPdCEl-Y/s1600-h/IMGP1992.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175414672282424722" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R9LEOVK9FZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vY_NPdCEl-Y/s320/IMGP1992.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Everyone’s heard the song. We don’t show our true colors often enough. We generally save them for a select few and even then we choose the colors we feel ready to share and leave the others aside. It could be interesting to ask ourselves why we do this. Why do we willingly share the bright happy colors and try to hide the darker colors we’re less proud of? And why do we avoid facing those darker colors ourselves and quickly try to slap a more “acceptable” color on top of it? Whether you are my colleague, my friend, my boss, or the love of my life—show me your true colors and I will respect you. Show me the color of your joy, your enthusiasm, your pride, your serenity. And, please, show me as well the color of your disappointment, your embarrassment, your frustration, your anger, your jealousy or your fear because those are also your colors. You are bright and dark, just as I am. How boring our communication would be if there were no contrasts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished coaching a man yesterday who has been working on one of his dark colors with my support over the past 9 months. The first day I met him he said, “I’m full of self-doubt.” I agreed to work with him because of the courage he showed me that day. Here he was: 46 years old, a manager of 60 people, been in the same “psychological pattern” for years, suddenly wanting to place the pattern on the table and try to figure out how to work on it. So many people would turn away or attempt to cover it up instead. Yesterday he said that he felt like he had been wearing a backpack full of bricks all these years and now it’s no longer there. He also said he had the impression that the pieces had come together somehow. This is Bach to my coaching ears. He will be a manager of &lt;strong&gt;integrity&lt;/strong&gt; now: the root of that word is the Latin &lt;em&gt;integer&lt;/em&gt; meaning &lt;em&gt;wholeness&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;soundness&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-6500886457737366245?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/6500886457737366245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=6500886457737366245' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/6500886457737366245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/6500886457737366245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2008/03/true-colors-coaching-story.html' title='True colors: a coaching story'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R9LEOVK9FZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vY_NPdCEl-Y/s72-c/IMGP1992.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113555680876718682</id><published>2009-01-20T01:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T11:30:08.571+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Environnements multiculturels : construire un référentiel commun</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SW5NgbwSEqI/AAAAAAAAACQ/lZuPTXsTaYc/s1600-h/IMG_8290_z.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291251831808332450" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SW5NgbwSEqI/AAAAAAAAACQ/lZuPTXsTaYc/s400/IMG_8290_z.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dans un monde que la technologie, les échanges économiques et les nouvelles techniques de communication rendent chaque jour plus petit, la plupart d'entre nous travaillent ou travailleront dans un environnement multiculturel. Il faut être conscient que tout change à partir du moment où l’on quitte notre contexte professionnel monoculturel : différentes approches de la tâche à accomplir, différentes façons de prendre une décision, différentes manières de communiquer, différentes façons de voir le temps, différentes visions de la hiérarchie : tant de différences que nous avons tendance à perdre tout repère.&lt;br /&gt;Il est donc réellement utile d'apporter un soutien à des groupes qui doivent réussir ensemble des objectifs d'entreprise : si rien n'est fait, les différences culturelles peuvent entraîner un haut niveau de stress, de méfiance, voire parfois de conflit.&lt;br /&gt;Si, en revanche, on aide les êtres humains à construire un cadre commun dans lequel ils peuvent évoluer, les équipes multiculturelles peuvent devenir positives et réellement enrichissantes. Un stage de « rencontre interculturelle » aide les participants à percevoir similarités et différences pour aller plus loin et construire des relations de soutien, proactives et créatives.&lt;br /&gt;Mon inspiration pour ce travail provient de: E.T.

Everything changes when we leave our monocultural setting: different approaches to work, different decision-making methods, different communication patterns, different ways of viewing time, different ways of viewing hierarchy, etc. Given all those differences, people on mixed-culture teams tend to lose their “landmarks”. It is crucial to support groups who need to reach company goals in a multicultural environment because for many, cultural differences, if left unattended, can lead to high stress levels, mistrust and even conflict.&lt;br /&gt;However, if people are given a common framework to evolve in, multicultural teams can be extremely positive and rich environments. This type of workshop helps participants to acknowledge differences, discover similarities and then go beyond… to build relationships that will be supportive, proactive and creative.

Existe-t-il un chemin d’intégrité ?&lt;br /&gt;Si le terme «intégrité» évoque assurément les qualités morales de celui qui est honnête et ne se laisse pas corrompre, il évoque tout autant les qualités psychiques de celui qui est entier (étymologie integer, entier), de celui qui a su gommer les divisions intérieures qui nous caractérisent tous et qui sont potentiellement nocives tant qu’elles demeurent inconnues de nous : ce sont alors nos «morceaux non identifiés», nos tyrans internes qui peuvent prendre les commandes…&lt;br /&gt;Le chemin d’individuation, décrit par Carl Jung, est celui au cours duquel l’homme divisé se transforme en homme-un, en in-dividu : il est donc, au sens étymologique, un chemin d’intégrité, dont les principales étapes peuvent être utilement présentées à ceux qui exercent un leadership réel comme à ceux qui pressentent l’intérêt d’un self-leadership. Mes cours sont largement inspirés par des travaux de C.G.

The survey respondents included business people from companies in France, England, Germany, and the United States.&lt;br /&gt;So, is there a path towards integrity?&lt;br /&gt;The term "integrity" evokes such moral qualities as honesty and responsibility. It also suggests the quality of someone "whole". Its etymology is "integer", which signifies "whole", and the word refers to someone able to erase the internal divisions that characterize all of us and produce negative behaviors if they remain unknown. These unidentified pieces can easily become internal tyrants that take control.&lt;br /&gt;The road to "Individuation", described by Carl Jung, is the journey in which the divided person becomes an "in-dividual" or un-divided. The process of Individuation and the path to integrity are, therefore, closely linked and can be of interest to anyone in a leadership role, or to anyone wanting to improve their self-leadership. My leadership classes are based on and inspired by the work of C.G. Jung.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113555693907424203?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113555693907424203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113555693907424203' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555693907424203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555693907424203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2005/12/leadership.html' title='Leadership'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SW4A6jNwuxI/AAAAAAAAAB4/vdFM9glhb9Q/s72-c/P8310654.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113555650560580307</id><published>2008-01-27T01:19:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T20:49:45.665+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mes Stages</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SX7hl5OgTnI/AAAAAAAAACo/fu5HIRNRsd8/s1600-h/cailloux.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295918252967349874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SX7hl5OgTnI/AAAAAAAAACo/fu5HIRNRsd8/s320/cailloux.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nous savons tous, sans avoir besoin de consulter Maslow, que communiquer est un besoin fondamental ; Françoise Dolto se plaisait à rappeler que la communication était la loi du vivant mais, et en dépit de l’existence des pigeons voyageurs, des signaux de fumée, du morse, du téléphone, des SMS, du courrier électronique et même des « visios », communiquer de façon satisfaisante avec nos collègues, notre hiérarchie, nos amis ou même nos conjoints reste un beau défi…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pourquoi y a-t-il si peu de dialogues, et tant de monologues à deux ou à plusieurs ? Comment communiquer avec ceux qui sont des râleurs chroniques, des éternelles victimes, des agressifs sans contrôle ? Sur une échelle allant d’ « insatisfaisante » à « pleinement réussie », où plaçons-nous réellement notre communication ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je propose, dans les stages que j’anime, des approches et des outils ouverts parmi lesquels mes clients choisissent ceux qui leur parlent le mieux, ceux qu’ils veulent approfondir et utiliser, mais il n'y a pas de recette miracle menant vers une communication idéale : vous n'en trouverez donc pas dans mes stages, qui proposent toujours un pas vers la connaissance de soi, un pas vers la communication avec soi-même, condition première de la communication avec les autres...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les éléments perturbateurs, les « patterns » qui gênent la communication interpersonnelle, intergroupe, interculturelle ont été mis en évidence par la psychologie analytique… Je présente donc aussi ces « mécanismes » qui, s’ils restent inconnus de nous, peuvent « prendre les commandes » : la meilleure façon de détrôner ces vrais « tyrans » intérieurs semble être en effet de les accueillir, de les intégrer à notre conscience. Et plus on chemine dans la conscience de soi, plus apparait la confiance : conscience de soi et confiance en soi sont étroitement liées, à mon sens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous trouverez dans cette rubrique une présentation rapide des stages que je peux - et que j’aime –animer ; chaque stage est conçu pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de votre entreprise ou de votre administration. De façon générale, je préfère travailler avec des groupes restreints, ce qui favorise un réel échange ; n’hésitez pas à me contacter par mail pour obtenir des précisions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113555650560580307?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113555650560580307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113555650560580307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555650560580307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555650560580307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2005/12/mes-cours-prsentation-gnrale.html' title='Mes Stages'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/SX7hl5OgTnI/AAAAAAAAACo/fu5HIRNRsd8/s72-c/cailloux.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-117621728002894699</id><published>2007-04-10T17:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T17:01:20.030+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La rencontre entre cultures</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5697/1991/1600/688642/window.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5697/1991/320/809921/window.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Si on en pressentait il y a vingt ans les enjeux de la rencontre et de la communication interculturelle, on les mesure parfaitement aujourd’hui, particulièrement dans notre région où de grandes entreprises vivent au quotidien les apports et les difficultés liés à cette rencontre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Face à ces enjeux, les publications d’ouvrages se sont multipliées, tout comme les stages de communication interculturelle. Qui sont les américains, comment mieux négocier avec un chinois, mieux travailler avec un allemand ? Les questions simples n’appellent pas toujours des réponses simples, et il me semble qu’un apport efficace ne peut pas laisser oublier qu’il est ici question de communication interculturelle…  Dès lors, tout comme dans le domaine de la communication interpersonnelle, comment faire l’impasse sur une série de questions préalables incontournables : « Qui sommes-nous, comment pensons-nous, quelle est notre image du monde, quel est l’esprit du temps, quels sont nos credos ? ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les informations sur telle ou telle culture, les recettes en tous genres ne manquent pas d’intérêt, bien au contraire : elles constituent même une sorte de solfège de la rencontre entre cultures ; mais la connaissance du solfège ne suffit pas à faire un musicien, tout comme la connaissance de tel ou tel trait spécifique de telle ou telle culture ne suffit pas à faire de nous des êtres capables d’une vraie communication interculturelle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les approches de type « recette » pourraient même créer un empêchement à cette communication, en nous faisant focaliser sur l’autre, en nous laissant oublier que la communication interculturelle met en présence au moins deux cultures et au moins deux sujets… Si nous oubliions cela, nous serions aussi préparés à la rencontre qu’auraient pu l’être des explorateurs du XIXe siècle qui auraient eu l’occasion de lire avant leur rencontre avec les aborigènes un digest intitulé « Les aborigènes pour les Nuls » : ils auraient peut-être évité quelques erreurs, mais leur regard réifiant n’en aurait pas été modifié :  tout vrai regard sur l’autre commence par un regard sur soi.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-117621728002894699?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/117621728002894699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=117621728002894699' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/117621728002894699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/117621728002894699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2007/04/la-rencontre-entre-cultures.html' title='La rencontre entre cultures'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-117621705868715554</id><published>2007-04-10T16:54:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T16:57:38.700+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Intercultural Awareness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5697/1991/1600/470821/window.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5697/1991/320/97275/window.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Even if twenty years ago we sensed that communicating across cultures was a high stakes endeavor, today we can perfectly measure this, particularly in our region of France where numerous companies live the richness and the challenges of working in an intercultural context. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past couple decades, numerous publications have appeared on the market as well as abundant training in the domain of intercultural business: “Understanding Americans—How to negotiate with the Chinese—The German Way”&lt;br /&gt;Simple questions do not always have simple answers and in order to truly gain something from a cross-cultural awareness seminar, we must keep in mind that more than anything else, the most crucial question here is intercultural communication…. From that starting point, just as in the domain of interpersonal communication, we must address a series of questions: « Who are we? How do we think? What is our « world image »? How does current society help and hinder? What are our cultural credos and myths? » &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Information that we can find about this or that culture and recipe-type books with detailed dos and don’ts are often of great interest because they give us the basic “music theory” of cross-cultural encounters; but knowing the notes does not suffice to make a musician, and knowing this or that specific characteristic about a given culture does not necessarily make us capable of communicating well across cultures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes this “recipe” approach can even hinder communication, making us focus on the other person, making us forget that intercultural communication concerns at least two cultures and at least two individuals (subjects). If we disregard this aspect, we will be as prepared for multicultural work as 19th century explorers would have been if they had read “Aborigines for Dummies” before meeting native tribes—they would have been able to avoid a few errors but their “scientific eyes” (that looked at the others as if they were objects instead of subjects) would not have been modified. Any true discovery of the other might begin by first taking a glance at oneself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-117621705868715554?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/117621705868715554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=117621705868715554' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/117621705868715554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/117621705868715554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2007/04/intercultural-awareness.html' title='Intercultural Awareness'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-116093771886434284</id><published>2006-10-15T20:39:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-10-15T20:41:58.866+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Séminaire le 5-6 décembre : le manager «roman»</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/seagull-420.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/seagull-420.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nos entreprises fondent généralement le choix de leurs managers sur leur compétence disciplinaire. Ces mêmes managers sont &lt;em&gt;pourtant &lt;/em&gt;appelés à exercer des compétences pluridisciplinaires pour l’encadrement du personnel, la motivation des équipes, la bonne gestion des projets ou des relations avec les clients ou les fournisseurs.  &lt;br /&gt;Pour une bonne  gestion des hommes et des équipes, ou tout simplement pour une bonne communication, il s’agira alors d’aller d’une verticalité disciplinaire à une &lt;em&gt;horizontalité  &lt;/em&gt;de compétences, de passer d’un « style gothique » à un « style roman » …&lt;br /&gt;Qu’est-ce qui serait à la base de cette compétence « romane » ? Sans doute une réelle capacité de communication interpersonnelle - voire interculturelle pour certaines entreprises - ; toutefois, cette capacité de communication dépend d’abord de notre être, de notre communication intérieure et de notre individuation (&lt;em&gt;un-divided&lt;/em&gt;), de notre « défragmentation », de notre « réalisation personnelle ». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’où le contenu de ce stage, qui, délaissant tout esprit de recette, refuse l’impasse sur une question centrale : la question de &lt;em&gt;l’être&lt;/em&gt;, qui semble au cœur de toute aptitude réelle à la communication, à la gestion du changement et au management des hommes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le stage aura lieu dans ma salle de formation à Lavalette (sortie 15, à 10 Kms de la rocade), où dix personnes peuvent être accueillies dans de bonnes conditions de confort (cadre tranquille et reposant en lisière d’un bois). &lt;br /&gt;Pour vous y inscrire : sarah.kartalia@gmail.com.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-116093771886434284?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/116093771886434284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=116093771886434284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/116093771886434284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/116093771886434284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/10/sminaire-le-5-6-dcembre-le-manager_15.html' title='Séminaire le 5-6 décembre : le manager «roman»'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-115244614398583520</id><published>2006-07-09T13:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-09T18:09:46.450+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Compassion in management</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/clem%2010%20ans%20042.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/clem%2010%20ans%20042.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My sister, an RN in oncology, often speaks about compassion and I assumed it was a “nursing thing” until about six months ago when I truly heard her words for the first time: “what we really have and can give is compassion”. That sentence has been growing inside and today I see, but more importantly I feel, what she means. Compassion is holding a woman’s hand as she moves closer to death but it is also reaching out to someone in good health, someone whose desk is not so far from our own, someone who may have more insecurities/fears/pain than we do. The spirit of the times in the world of business is much more about conquest and competition than communication and compassion; we focus on “being the best” but not necessarily on being &lt;strong&gt;good&lt;/strong&gt;. Maybe it’s a question of courage (from the Latin &lt;em&gt;cor &lt;/em&gt;meaning heart): if we had the courage to step away from ourselves, from our “position”, from our persona, we might be able to give something of real value to someone else and realize that the &lt;strong&gt;journey &lt;/strong&gt;to reach our end-of-the-year objectives is as important as the final &lt;strong&gt;result&lt;/strong&gt;. Although the etymology of compassion is &lt;em&gt;to suffer with&lt;/em&gt;, it’s not only in that regard that we need compassion in management. In compassion, I see compass: we need to show the way and steer the project and bring everyone home safely. In compassion, I also see passion: as managers we need to share our own passion and also strive to understand the desires and passion of our team members because if we know what gives them the energy to come to work every day, won’t we know how to motivate them better?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-115244614398583520?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/115244614398583520/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=115244614398583520' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/115244614398583520'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/115244614398583520'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/07/compassion-in-management.html' title='Compassion in management'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-8859173711263393369</id><published>2006-05-09T21:12:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T13:50:22.006+01:00</updated><title type='text'>FIRO-B</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R-pRQA63J6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/F0xLLfRX7Sg/s1600-h/pwinberg_100_6144.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182043656809818018" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R-pRQA63J6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/F0xLLfRX7Sg/s320/pwinberg_100_6144.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Psychologist and social scientist Will Schutz developed the FIRO theory after working for the Navy during the Korean War; his task was to help the military build strong teams that would not only withstand the pressures of living in submarines but thrive and reach high performance as well. FIRO-B (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior) is the self-assessment instrument associated with Schutz’s theory which explores three dimensions of interpersonal relations: Inclusion, Control and Openness. It is a systemic approach that looks at how an individual behaves towards others and how he would like others to behave towards him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I make the effort to include others? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I enjoy having a lot of contact with others? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;How much do I want others to include me in their activities and give me a sense of belonging? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I make the effort to influence and control others? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I seek responsibility and authority or am I more comfortable when others give me instruction and direction? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I show appreciation and concern openly? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I share my opinions and feelings easily? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I enjoy hearing the concerns of others?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;It provides insight about group compatibility because a profile can be made combining the individual scores. Today the key objective of this tool is to enable individuals and teams to identify behaviors that help and hinder group performance.

FIRO-B (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior) est un outil d’auto-évaluation associé à la théorie de Schutz, qui explore trois dimensions de nos relations interpersonnelles : Inclusion, Contrôle, et Ouverture. C’est une approche systémique qui examine la façon dont un individu se comporte envers les autres et la façon dont il aimerait que les autres se comportent envers lui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que je fais l’effort d’inclure les autres ? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que je prends du plaisir à avoir des contacts avec les autres ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jusqu’où est-ce que j’ai envie que les autres m’incluent dans leurs activités ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jusqu’où est-ce que j’ai envie d’avoir un sentiment d’appartenance ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que je prends l’initiative d’influencer et d’exercer un contrôle sur les autres ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que je cherche la responsabilité et l’autorité ou est-ce que je suis heureux qu’on me donne des instructions et qu’on me montre la direction ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que j’exprime mon appréciation and mes soucis ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que je partage mes opinions et mes sentiments ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Est-ce que j’aime entendre ceux des autres ?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;L’outil fournit également un regard sur la compatibilité du groupe puisqu’un mapping peut être fait à partir des scores individuels. Aujourd’hui l’objectif du FIRO-B est de permettre à des individus et des équipes d’identifier les comportements qui aident et ceux qui empêchent la performance d’un groupe. La conviction de Schutz était que, plus que tout autre chose, son questionnaire était un formidable prétexte pour un vrai dialogue, le mapping d’un groupe devant être vu comme une photographie prise à un instant donné et en aucun cas comme un bilan figé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Je suis certifiée à administrer le FIRO-B.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-2378770012620178888?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/2378770012620178888/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=2378770012620178888' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/2378770012620178888'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/2378770012620178888'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2008/03/firo-b.html' title='FIRO-B'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eHAYq-LHXlM/R-pVEg63J7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/-bLl-C19LWw/s72-c/pwinberg_100_6144.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-114461734962747391</id><published>2006-04-09T23:13:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-04-09T23:22:29.236+02:00</updated><title type='text'>MBTI</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/30_blue_flower.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/30_blue_flower.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le Myers-Briggs Type Indicator est un outil de compréhension des différents types de personnalités, des préférences, forces et faiblesses de chacun.

If you are interested in knowing more about this or if you are wondering whether your organization could benefit from such a course, please contact me and we can discuss the possibilities.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-114461769437910658?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/114461769437910658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=114461769437910658' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/114461769437910658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/114461769437910658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/04/mbti_09.html' title='MBTI'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611493375953360</id><published>2006-01-01T12:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-21T19:09:21.563+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mon livre préféré de l'année sur la communication</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4588/382/1600/Clem_throwing_stone.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4588/382/320/Clem_throwing_stone.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sans hésiter, c’est &lt;strong&gt;Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together &lt;/strong&gt;de William Isaacs. En fait, j’ai acheté ce livre au moment où il est sorti en 1999 et il me regardait de ma bibliothèque depuis six ans jusqu’au moment où il est littéralement « tombé » à mes pieds. Fascinants ces livres qui se jettent à nos pieds juste au moment où on avait besoin de les lire…&lt;br /&gt;Savons-nous réellement dialoguer, fréquentons-nous le dialogue ? S’il nous revient à l’esprit une dispute ou une conversation “animée” au travail, elle peut nous montrer que nous n’étions pas en train de dialoguer. Qu’est-ce que le Dialogue? Selon William Isaacs, il est possible quand nous nous exprimons dans un contexte “sain et sauf” tout en écoutant et en respectant l’autre, quand nous suspendons nos convictions et jugements. Pour en arriver là, on ne doit plus s’agripper à nos certitudes et à nos croyances, nous devons laisser la porte ouverte à tout ce qui n’est pas encore connu, à tout ce qui peut surgir, à toute grâce qui peut bénir le moment. Dans le dialogue, on ne fragmente plus les idées, on va vers l’unité et l’interconnexion. A la fin du dialogue, un voyage a eu lieu et les participants sont conscients qu’ils sont allés là où ils n’avaient pas imaginé aller au début de la conversation. Je ne pense pas que ce livre existe en français à ce jour ; ceci dit, l’anglais utilisé est très accessible : si vous avez un niveau de « working English » vous pourrez certainement le lire et comprendre l’essentiel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611493375953360?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611493375953360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611493375953360' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611493375953360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611493375953360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/mon-livre-prfr-de-lanne-sur-la.html' title='Mon livre préféré de l&apos;année sur la communication'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611464450422314</id><published>2006-01-01T12:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-22T10:25:21.046+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Best communication book I read this year</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/archway.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/archway.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Isaacs’ &lt;strong&gt;Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together &lt;/strong&gt;wins hands down. I actually bought it when it came out in 1999 and it has been staring down at me from my bookshelves since then. Isn’t that strange how we pick things up right at the perfect time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we thought we knew what Dialogue was, we were wrong. If we recall our last “heated” business meeting or discussion, it is clear that we were not involved in Dialogue. What is Dialogue? According to William Isaacs, it is when we voice ideas openly in a safe “container” while listening, respecting and suspending. In order to get there, one has to stop gripping certainty and personal beliefs and leave the door open for all that is unknown, for all that is unsolved, and for all that is capable of gracing the moment. When people make it to Dialogue, they are no longer dividing or fragmenting their ideas but rather joining a sense of wholeness and connectedness. At the end of Dialogue, there has been a journey and all participants can acknowledge that they have gone somewhere they had not imagined when they had first come together.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611464450422314?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611464450422314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611464450422314' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611464450422314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611464450422314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/best-communication-book-i-read-this.html' title='Best communication book I read this year'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611447116041137</id><published>2006-01-01T12:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T16:18:34.536+01:00</updated><title type='text'>L'âne d'Erickson</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/sablegris.5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/sablegris.5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maître dans l’utilisation de la métaphore, visant toujours l’obtention d’un impact sur son interlocuteur, le psychothérapeute Milton H. Erickson était réellement capable de rentrer dans l’image que ses patients se faisaient du monde pour atteindre le résultat thérapeutique recherché….Rencontrant un patient qui se prenait pour Jésus et à qui aucun autre médecin n’avait pu apporter d’aide, Erickson s’assied à côté de lui et, l’air de rien, lui dit qu’il avait entendu dire qu’il était charpentier… Comme le patient, très surpris, finit par répondre que c’était bien le cas, Erickson lui commande immédiatement des étagères en bois pour la clinique. Face à son incapacité de les réaliser, le patient quitte peu à peu cette identité qui le paralysait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On dit qu’Erickson avait déjà le même don quand il était enfant. Un jour, le tout jeune Erickson se trouvait dans une ferme où un valet d’écurie essayait désespérément de tirer vers l’avant un âne pour le faire entrer dans un box. L’âne avait planté ses quatre pieds par terre et ne bougeait pas d’un centimètre, malgré l’énergie du palefrenier qui tirait l’animal par son licol de toute sa force. &lt;br /&gt;L’homme aurait éclaté de rire quand le jeune Erickson demandait s’il pouvait tenter quelque chose. A la surprise générale, Erickson s’est alors placé &lt;strong&gt;derrière &lt;/strong&gt;l’âne, tirant très fort sur sa queue ; lorsqu’il a lâché la queue du quadrupède, ce dernier a littéralement foncé dans le box !&lt;br /&gt;Ne retenez de l’histoire que la force de la métaphore, si chère à Erikson et si précieuse en communication et management des hommes : je décline toute responsabilité si vous vous piquiez de tirer vos collègues immobiles par la queue…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611447116041137?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611447116041137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611447116041137' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611447116041137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611447116041137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/lne-derickson.html' title='L&apos;âne d&apos;Erickson'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611428302979849</id><published>2006-01-01T12:17:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T16:22:16.116+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Erickson's donkey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/sablegris.4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/sablegris.4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psychotherapist Milton H. Erickson was a master at using metaphor and was truly capable of grasping the image his patients had of the world in order to obtain his desired therapeutic result. For example there was a case where a patient was convinced he was Jesus. After other doctors had unsuccessfully attempted to help him, Dr. Erickson pulled the man aside and told him that he had heard the guy had done some carpentry in the past. The patient, surprised, answered “yes”. When Dr. Erickson placed an order for bookshelves for the clinic, the patient, unable to carry out the task, began the process of freeing himself from this paralyzing identity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erickson apparently had the same gift as a child because he told the story of being on a farm one day as a young boy and watching a stable hand desperately try to pull a donkey into a stable. The donkey had planted itself firmly in the ground and was not going to budge. Again and again, the man yanked with all his force and scoffed when the boy asked if he could give it a try. Young Erickson tugged so hard in the opposite direction, on the tail, that the donkey literally flew into the stall. This metaphor is presented as food for thought: I decline all responsibility if you decide to start pulling your immobile colleagues by the tail…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611428302979849?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611428302979849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611428302979849' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611428302979849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611428302979849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/ericksons-donkey_01.html' title='Erickson&apos;s donkey'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611375656935673</id><published>2006-01-01T12:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T12:09:16.570+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Faites votre propre mini stage d'AT</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/statues.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/statues.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si vous souhaitez vous initier à l’Analyse Transactionnelle et aux « jeux psychologiques » avant d’acheter un livre ou de faire un stage, louez le DVD &lt;strong&gt;Un Air de Famille &lt;/strong&gt;de Cédric Klapisch.

This does not mean we are childish, but &lt;strong&gt;childlike &lt;/strong&gt;and childlike is sacred as all the religions of the world say. Even as adults we have access to this sacred part. This sometimes scares off the engineers in my courses—"What? What is she saying? She can’t be serious. I came to this course to learn, not play around."&lt;br /&gt;Why is it we have that resistance to an absolute treasure? How destructive could it be if for, say, five minutes we let go of our adult judgments and assumptions and let ourselves view the situation differently, with nothing obstructing our view?

En anglais il y a deux adjectifs qui évoquent l’enfant : childish qui signifie puéril et childlike qui signifie pareil à un enfant. Nous savons tous que toutes les religions évoquent “l’enfant sacré” ;  même à l’âge adulte, nous avons accès à cette partie de nous. Quand je propose qu’on regarde une situation avec les yeux d’un enfant, cela peut faire peur aux cadres et ingénieurs présents : « comment? Qu’est-ce qu’elle dit ? Elle n’est pas sérieuse. Je suis venu(e) ici pour apprendre et pas pour jouer » &lt;br /&gt;Pourquoi tant de résistance face à un trésor absolu? Est-ce que cela serait si nocif si pendant quelques minutes nous essayions de poser à côté de nous nos jugements et nos a priori pour voir une situation différemment, sans que rien n’encombre notre vision ? Ecoutons les enfants autour de nous et nous verrons qu’ils sont toujours naturellement « martiens » (un joli concept de l’Analyse Transactionnelle)…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611313348322704?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611313348322704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611313348322704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611313348322704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611313348322704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/le-regard-dun-enfant.html' title='Le regard d&apos;un enfant'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611289506495146</id><published>2006-01-01T11:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-07T19:44:24.383+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Les Cafés</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/caf%3F%3F.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/caf%3F%3F.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La rencontre avec une autre culture est faite de petites et de grandes découvertes. Le café, c’est un endroit tellement banal dans la société française que je me demande parfois si les français sont conscients du fait que le café est unique aux yeux d’un étranger. En tant qu’américaine, je ne trouverai jamais insignifiant d’aller au café : ce sont de vrais centres de communication ici où des choses se passent, des nouvelles sont données, des amis sont réunis, des « deals » sont établis, des idées sont débattues. On voit des personnes en pleine discussion et qui refont le monde, d’autres qui s’offrent un verre, un pote qui tape gentiment le dos de copain. Il y a des couples qui se disputent et puis s’embrassent, on apprend que « le mec là-bas vend des cèpes à un prix extra », on entend une femme qui annonce avec fierté que son fils a enfin eu son permis. Le phénomène du café français fait que je me demande... où et comment les gens échangent dans les autres pays ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611289506495146?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611289506495146/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611289506495146' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611289506495146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611289506495146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/les-cafs.html' title='Les Cafés'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113611229251077623</id><published>2006-01-01T11:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T11:52:42.256+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Cafés</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/caf%3F%3F.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/caf%3F%3F.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crossing cultures can offer small findings and enormous discoveries. Cafés are considered such a banal element in French culture that I wonder sometimes if French people are aware of how unique they are to foreigners. As an American, I will never find going to a café a mundane experience. Cafés are true communication centers here. Things happen in cafés: people spread news, friends are reunited, deals are settled, issues are discussed. You see people nodding in agreement and shaking their heads "non", offering a drink, yelling at one another, slapping someone’s shoulder in a friendly manner. You see couples fighting and then kissing, you learn that "the guy over there is selling cèpes (the caviar of mushrooms) at a great price", you hear a woman announce that her son has finally passed his driving license. It makes me wonder about other places in the world: where and how do people exchange information in your country?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113611229251077623?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113611229251077623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113611229251077623' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611229251077623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113611229251077623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2006/01/cafs.html' title='Cafés'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113630354855795578</id><published>2005-12-26T16:50:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T17:49:24.404+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Construire une équipe</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/mains.3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/mains.3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Chaque entreprise, chaque organisme a sa motivation propre pour organiser un stage de teambuilding : vous souhaitez intégrer de nouveaux membres dans l'équipe, vous voulez faire un brainstorming en dehors de vos locaux ou vous ressentez simplement le besoin de développer l'esprit d'équipe. Quel que soit votre objectif, j'anime des séminaires qui vont aider votre groupe à s'ouvrir, à mieux communiquer, à tisser des liens forts. Je m'implique et je m'engage à aider les participants à aller de la discussion (dont l'étymologie signife « secouer » ou « casser ») au dialogue (&lt;em&gt;dia logos&lt;/em&gt;, la parole [coulant] au travers). Les membres de toute équipe tirent profit de l’existence d'un lieu où ils peuvent exprimer leurs attentes, leurs défis et leur investissement dans l'entreprise, où peuvent se construire compréhension et le respect mutuels, où peuvent être explorées les valeurs communes.&lt;br /&gt;Je fait le plus souvent débuter un atelier de teambuilding en proposant des outils qui servent de langage commun et d'approche commune dans la compréhension des comportements humains ; ces outils restent utiles après le séminaire parce que mon ambition est d’en donner aux participants une compréhension solide, souvent visuelle. Les outils dont je me sers le plus souvent sont : le Myers Briggs Type Indicator, le FIRO-B ou même l’Analyse Transactionnelle. La communication créative et la conscientisation constituent le fil rouge et l’objectif ultime de ces séminaires.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113630354855795578?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113630354855795578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113630354855795578' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113630354855795578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113630354855795578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2005/12/construire-une-quipe_26.html' title='Construire une équipe'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113555717453454253</id><published>2005-12-26T01:32:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T17:50:14.904+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Team building</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/mains.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/mains.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Each company has its own motivation for doing a team building course: to integrate newly hired staff, to brainstorm on company issues outside the office or to promote better team spirit. Whatever the objective is, I conduct team building courses that will help your group open up lines of communication and reinforce interpersonal relationships; my role could be seen as Dialogue Enabler. I am committed to helping participants go from discussion (whose etymology signifies “to shake or break up”) to dialogue (&lt;em&gt;dia logos&lt;/em&gt; = flow of meaning, together). Members of any team can benefit from being given a safe place in which they can share their professional expectations and challenges, build mutual understanding and respect, and explore team values. I often begin one of these workshops with a tool that will give participants a common language and approach to understanding human behaviour and which also serves as a solid foundation that they can refer to after the seminar. Some of the tools that I use are: Myers Briggs Type Indicator, FIRO-B, or Transactional Analysis. Creative communication and awareness raising are both the underlying themes and ultimate objectives of such a workshop.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113555717453454253?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113555717453454253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113555717453454253' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555717453454253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555717453454253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2005/12/team-building.html' title='Team building'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113555686078896068</id><published>2005-12-26T01:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-12-29T16:48:26.660+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Communiquer efficacement : construire les liens</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/1600/stairs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5697/1991/320/stairs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nos relations sont comme des ponts jetés entre nous et nos interlocuteurs : collègues, patron, amis, etc. Pourquoi ces ponts rompent-ils parfois ?

French psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto called communication the law of the living and yet it’s not easy in spite of pigeons, smoke signals, morse code, snail mail, telephone, e-mail, text messages, video conferences, chat, webcam, etc. We have all the means and capabilities to exchange information and it is still so challenging to communicate in a constructive way with our colleagues, hierarchy, friends, partners. How much of our daily existence is spent communicating with others? On a scale between unsatisfactory and extremely satisfying, where do we place our own communication? Why is there little meaningful dialogue? Why is it so difficult to communicate with certain people—the complainers, the victims, the lazy, the unmotivated, the aggressive? What I offer in my courses is a variety of approaches and tools and my trainees can choose which ideas “speak” to them. If you are interested in taking a step towards self-awareness, if you sense that communicating well with ourselves is a prerequisite for sound communication with others, and if you wish to dive into the vast mystery of human behaviour... these courses will interest you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analytical psychology highlights certain patterns that disrupt and complicate interpersonal communication, intercultural communication and team communication. I also present these mechanisms in my courses because if they remain unknown or unconscious, these perturbing elements can take control. One effective way of dethroning these “internal tyrants” seems to be by simply welcoming them and integrating them into our consciousness. My experience in this profession has revealed time and again that the deeper our level of consciousness, the more confidence we have: self-awareness and self-confidence are, for me, intimately linked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some short presentations of the kinds of workshops that I enjoy facilitating. Each course is specially designed and personalized to meet your group’s needs. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20001761-113555561725801324?l=sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/feeds/113555561725801324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20001761&amp;postID=113555561725801324' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555561725801324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20001761/posts/default/113555561725801324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarah-kartalia.blogspot.com/2005/12/my-courses-general-presentation.html' title='My Workshops'/><author><name>Sarah Kartalia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08445648716755555458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20001761.post-113555539112343202</id><published>2005-12-26T01:02:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T19:24:06.522+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Qui suis-je ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HOp-GscOrjw/SNfMVYIkFfI/AAAAAAAAAms/QMHAtPy2jNo/s1600-h/Sarah_site.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248888558351291890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HOp-GscOrjw/SNfMVYIkFfI/AAAAAAAAAms/QMHAtPy2jNo/s400/Sarah_site.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONSULTANT FREE-LANCE&lt;br /&gt;PROFESSEUR AFFILIE ESC TOULOUSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Née à Westminster dans le Maryland (USA), je vis à Toulouse depuis 19 ans.
