Conversations - A Lesson From the French

www.ApproachDynamics.com

What can we learn from the French? We know that they could learn a thing or two from us (ie. personal hygiene tips, underarm shaving for women and not to surrender in battle so quickly), but I think we can learn a thing or two from them as well.

I have said in the past how conversation is the key. Being able to hold a conversation is what will pave the way to everything else. To that effect, there was an interesting article in US News and World Report the other day and it mentioned how the French have the art of conversation down to a science. The most interesting part was that the French see "conversation as an end." In other words, the conversation itself is what they are looking for! If you were able to look at approaching in this manner, it would take away the pressure. Thought this was an interesting way of looking at it!

There is another excellent point in this article:

"French civility forbids asking how much money one makes. One's private life is just that, although talks about sex can be earthy as long as they aren't personal. Best of all, the French are not interested in those boring subjects that characterize so much American chatter-the weather, your new car, your vacation."
