Mediating Discussions

ការសម្របសម្រួលកិច្ចពិភាក្សា

Learn how to guide a group discussion, ensure everyone speaks, and handle disagreements politely.

រៀនពីរបៀបដឹកនាំការពិភាក្សា ធានាថាអ្នកគ្រប់គ្នាបានបញ្ចេញមតិ និងដោះស្រាយការខ្វែងគំនិតគ្នាដោយភាពគួរសម។

Step 1

Bringing People In

អញ្ជើញអ្នកដទៃឲ្យចូលរួមបញ្ចេញមតិ

I'd like to hear [Name]'s take on this. ខ្ញុំចង់ឮយោបល់របស់ [ឈ្មោះ] លើបញ្ហានេះ។

Could we get your perspective on this? តើពួកយើងអាចស្តាប់ទស្សនៈរបស់អ្នកលើរឿងនេះបានទេ?

Let's open the floor to others. តោះផ្តល់ឱកាសឲ្យអ្នកផ្សេងបានបញ្ចេញមតិ។

Step 2

Keeping on Track

រក្សាការពិភាក្សាឲ្យចំប្រធានបទ

Let's bring the focus back to... តោះយើងងាកមកផ្តោតលើ...

We are getting a bit off-topic. ពួកយើងកំពុងតែនិយាយខុសប្រធានបទបន្តិចហើយ។

Let's park that idea for now. តោះយើងទុកគំនិតហ្នឹងមួយឡែកសិន។

Step 3

Resolving Conflict

ការដោះស្រាយការខ្វែងគំនិតគ្នា

I can see both sides of the argument. ខ្ញុំយល់ពីហេតុផលរបស់ភាគីទាំងសងខាង។

Let's try to find a middle ground. តោះព្យាយាមស្វែងរកចំណុចកណ្តាលមួយដែលអាចទទួលយកបាន។

Let's agree to disagree on this point. យើងព្រមទទួលស្គាល់ថាយើងមានមតិខុសគ្នាលើចំណុចនេះ។ (បញ្ឈប់ការជជែក)

We should definitely redesign the logo. យើងគួរតែរចនាឡូហ្គោឡើងវិញ។

I completely disagree, the logo is fine. ខ្ញុំមិនយល់ស្របទាំងស្រុង ឡូហ្គោហ្នឹងស្អាតហើយ។

You

Okay, let's try to find a middle ground. I'd like to hear Dara's take on this. អូខេ តោះយើងព្យាយាមស្វែងរកចំណុចកណ្តាលទាំងអស់គ្នា។ ខ្ញុំចង់ឮយោបល់របស់ តារា លើរឿងនេះ។

How do I interrupt someone who talks too much without being rude?

Hi Chea! Use a soft interruption before redirecting. Try saying: "Sorry to jump in, but we're running short on time. Let's hear what [Name] has to say." This stops them politely and moves the conversation forward. route

What's the difference between "take" and "opinion"?

Sopheak Pich Teacher 4 hours ago

Good question! They mean the same thing, but "take" is slightly more casual and idiomatic. It is very common in modern business environments to say "What's your take on this?" instead of "What is your opinion?". lightbulb

Is it rude to say "we are off-topic"?

It can be! That is why we use "softeners" in C1 English. Instead of saying "We are off-topic", say "We might be getting a *bit* off-topic" or "We're going *slightly* off-topic." It sounds much more diplomatic! handshake
