El poder de una buena oratoria es extraordinario y no son s\u00f3lo los oradores brillantes quienes lo utilizan. <\/p>\n<p>Todos lo hacemos: en casa con la familia, alrededor de la mesa del comedor y en la oficina cada vez que intentamos vender una idea a un superior, un cliente o a la gente con la que trabajamos. Todo el tiempo estamos vendiendo ideas y mientras mejor lo hagamos, probablemente m\u00e1s exitosos seamos.<\/p>\n<p>Las competencias de debate son s\u00f3lo una versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s estructurada de esta actividad, con dos equipos defendiendo o atacando un tema preparado con antelaci\u00f3n ante un panel de jueces y una audiencia. Lo que hace que este tipo de eventos sea m\u00e1s interesante es que los equipos pueden encontrarse defendiendo una posici\u00f3n en la que no creen necesariamente.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 debatir? Una raz\u00f3n es que debatir nos ense\u00f1a a organizar nuestro proceso mental, a menudo sin preparaci\u00f3n. En t\u00e9rminos simples, quiere decir que se piensa sobre la marcha. <\/p>\n<p>Y mientras usted m\u00e1s practique, mejor ser\u00e1. Desarrollar las habilidades de debate que uno posee implica sentirse m\u00e1s c\u00f3modo y tener m\u00e1s \u00e9xito en una serie de situaciones similares fuera de los salones del debate formal. Ya sea como vendedor, l\u00edder empresarial o en el trabajo, como pol\u00edtico o comunicador, la capacidad de expresar una opini\u00f3n clara y brevemente es siempre un activo.<\/p>\n<p>En el Gran Debate Corporativo -organizado por la AmCham y la Corporaci\u00f3n Cultural de Lo Barnechea (COBA) con el auspicio de la Universidad UNIACC \u2013 nos esforzamos por dar a los competidores capacitaci\u00f3n y pr\u00e1ctica en una comunicaci\u00f3n corporativa y les ense\u00f1amos a argumentar y defender una posici\u00f3n en p\u00fablico. Y los hacemos en ingl\u00e9s, dando a los hablantes no nativos del idioma una excelente oportunidad para practicar sus habilidades en un idioma que se ha convertido en parte esencial de la vida empresarial moderna.<\/p>\n<p>Los participantes del debate representan a sus empresas en una competencia con otras compa\u00f1\u00edas. No s\u00f3lo aprenden a hablar en p\u00fablico, sino que tambi\u00e9n aprenden a funcionar como un equipo con el inter\u00e9s com\u00fan de ganar el debate. El esp\u00edritu de equipo desarrollado con la competencia ha sido una de las caracter\u00edsticas m\u00e1s comentadas de estos debates.  <\/p>\n<p>Los equipos ganadores y sus empresas reciben cobertura en la prensa local y son reconocidos por sus pares y superiores como h\u00e1biles oradores en una lengua extranjera. <\/p>\n<p>Cada equipo tiene garantizada su participaci\u00f3n en al menos tres debates y el ganador de cada grupo pasa a las semifinales, mientras que la final del Gran Debate se lleva a cabo en los salones del ex Congreso Nacional en el centro de Santiago. <\/p>\n<p>Las propuestas o temas, escogidos por la comisi\u00f3n organizadora, se escogen en un sorteo para cada debate. Se basan en cuestiones de conocimiento general y se evitan temas que son considerados delicados para las empresas o para los propios participantes. <\/p>\n<p>La final del debate del a\u00f1o pasado fue sobre la privatizaci\u00f3n de Codelco, la cupr\u00edfera estatal de Chile. Entre otros temas, el torneo del a\u00f1o pasado incluy\u00f3 el sistema electoral de Chile, el calentamiento global, las virtudes de la innovaci\u00f3n en una econom\u00eda en desarrollo y si Am\u00e9rica Latina requiere o no fuerzas armadas. <\/p>\n<p>Los oradores intervienen contrarreloj de tal manera que no pueden darse el lujo de hablar de manera interminable; usan humor y lenguaje corporal. Y, sobre todo, hacen una investigaci\u00f3n sobre los temas que se les asignan, lo que a\u00f1ade el valor educativo del debate as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n la entretenci\u00f3n y el inter\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>En su tercera versi\u00f3n anual, el Gran Debate Corporativo es un desaf\u00edo para los participantes, un evento atractivo para el p\u00fablico y, para las empresas que presentan a sus equipos, una excelente forma de desarrollar las habilidades y confianza de sus empleados. <\/p>\n<p>Pero respondiendo a la pregunta sobre \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 debatir?: esencialmente, porque es desafiante y entretenido. <\/p>\n<p><b><i>Para mayores detalles, por favor visite www.amchamchile.cl o contacte a Pilar Garc\u00eda-Huidobro: tel: (02) 290 9731, e-mail: comites@amchamchile.cl.<\/b><\/i><!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n<b><I>AmCham would like to invite companies to present teams to participate in the Great Corporate Debate 2009, the third annual version of a debating competition in English. <\/b><\/I><\/p>\n<p>Some people love debating and do it for the excitement and the thrill. The power of good oratory is extraordinary and it is not just the brilliant speakers who use it. <\/p>\n<p>We all do it &#8211; at home with the family, around the dining table and in the office whenever we are trying to sell an idea to a boss, a client or the people we work with. We are selling all the time and the better we do it, the more successful we are likely to be.<\/p>\n<p>Competitive debating is just a more structured version of this activity, with two teams defending or attacking a previously-prepared motion before a panel of judges and an audience. What makes this type of debate more interesting is that the teams may find themselves defending a position in which they do not necessarily believe.<\/p>\n<p>Why debate? One reason is that debating teaches us to organize our thought process, often without preparation. In simple terms, it means thinking on your feet. <\/p>\n<p>And the more you do it, the better you become. Developing one\u2019s debating skills means being more comfortable and more successful in any number of similar situations outside the halls of formal debate. As a salesperson, as a leader in business or at work, as a politician or a communicator, the ability to express an opinion clearly and briefly is always an asset.<\/p>\n<p>In the Great Corporate Debate &#8211; organized by AmCham and the Corporaci\u00f3n Cultural de Lo Barnechea (COBA) and sponsored by the Universidad UNIACC &#8211; we strive to give competitors training and practice in good corporate communication and teach them how to argue and defend a position before an audience. And we do it in English, giving non-native speakers a golden opportunity to practice their skills in a language which has become such an essential part of modern corporate life.              <\/p>\n<p>The debaters represent their companies in a competition with other companies. They not only learn public speaking, they also learn to act as a team with the common interest of winning the debate. The team spirit developed has been a much-commented characteristic of these debates.  <\/p>\n<p>The winning teams and their companies receive coverage in the local press, and are recognized by their peers and superiors as skilled public speakers in a foreign language. Every team is guaranteed at least three debates, with the winner of each group moving on to the semi-finals and the final Grand Debate held in the old Senate halls in downtown Santiago. <\/p>\n<p>The motions or topics, picked by the organizing committee, are drawn out of a hat for each debate. They are based on general knowledge and avoid subjects which are sensitive either to the companies or the debaters themselves. <\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s final debate was on the privatization of Codelco, Chile\u2019s state copper company. Other subjects have included Chile\u2019s electoral system, global warming, the virtues of innovation in a developing economy, and whether or not Latin America needs armed forces. <\/p>\n<p>Speakers are against the clock and so cannot afford to be long-winded; they use humor and body language. And, most of all, they research their subjects which adds to the educational value of the debate as well as entertainment and interest.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its third year, the Great Corporate Debate is a challenge to the participants, a fascinating event for the audience and, for the companies that provide the teams, an excellent way to develop the skills and confidence of their employees. <\/p>\n<p>But to answer the question of why debate? Essentially, because it is challenging and fun. <\/p>\n<p><b><I>For further details, please visit www.amchamchile.cl or contact Pilar Garc\u00eda-Huidobro: tel: (02) 290 9731, e-mail: comites@amchamchile.cl.<\/I><\/b><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->AmCham quiere invitar a las empresas socias a presentar a sus equipos para que participen en el Gran Debate Corporativo 2009, la tercera versi\u00f3n anual de la competencia de debate en ingl\u00e9s.<!--:--><!--:en-->AmCham would like to invite companies to present teams to participate in the Great Corporate Debate 2009, the third annual version of a debating competition in English.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news_tax":[],"user_type":[],"class_list":["post-4071","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u00bfPor Qu\u00e9 Debatir?Why Debate?
