Corporate Study
Change the way you see yourself and the world around you
This is a quantitative analysis of the recurrence of words/phrases in the answers to questionnaires. Each participant is attributed a code composed of two letters and two numbers that you might see next to quotes.
The data analysis was conducted by Margaux Péharpré who had no contact with the participants and did not take part in the questionnaire process.
Participants included 101 students, 71 executives, 34 young international talents and 43 NA (no answer given).
2 main areas of impact:Better relationships & Understanding ourselves
1. Relationships: a different way to relate
An open exchange such as the Duo is in itself the construction of a new relationship.
Its form and newness are also likely to influence the participant’s relationships, both current and future ones.
“I would use it again not only to understand more about others, but to make them feel at ease, create an environment of trust and make them feel important and listened to”
“mutually trustful and honest. We connected very well and were both well prepared and willing to listen and share.
Best relationship possible”
“We developed a trust relationship, a true and sincere exchange.”
Learn to open up to a stranger
Discover the other for who s.he is
Establish new types of relations
2. Discovery of self: understanding ourselves through the exchange
Clearly from the feedbacks – answering questionnaires as well as open comments – the Savoir-Relier experience has had major impact on the participants. It is interesting to notice that 20% of comments mentioning “interest for other” as the outcome of the duo also mentioned themselves and how they discovered themselves. Discovery of self and others are indeed deeply linked as we will see in this part.
We all are deeply influenced by the relationships we develop. A. Seer and S.M. Chopin highlight that “social exchange not only requires transaction partners to be identified to each other, but further serves as a mechanism for identity development, maintenance and evolution”.
Not only do we have to have a distinct, “identified” identity for the exchange to happen; but also this same exchange will lead to our “identity development”.
