English term or phrase: Mirror
bonjour,

je traduis un manuel opératoire et dans la partie "art de la négociation / contrôler les autres" une expression me pose problème.
"be the mirror"

voici le contexte :
• Be the Mirror
• Control anger by staying cool.
• Be enthusiastic. It’s catchy.
etc...

Une petite idée de ce que pourrait vouloir dire "be the mirror" ?
merci par avance !!

La synchronisation
Appelée aussi « posture en écho », elle permet de se mettre en quelque sorte
au diapason de son interlocuteur. Nous le faisons parfois inconsciemment.
Attention au mimétisme, c’est l’excès de la synchronisation !
Ainsi, décoder la gestuelle de son interlocuteur permet de le repérer et prendre
conscience de sa propre gestuelle permet de ne pas se trahir…

Mais il s'agit de gestuelle.
Je propose 'faire echo' en plus qui permet d'inclure dans cette idée de "mirroring", la reprise/reformulation des mots de l'interlocuteur, pour indiquer compréhension/empathie.

Reference: using mirroring in negotiations

Reference information:
From the reference quoted in DB
This brings us to mirroring as an effective tool to bring negotiators quickly onto the same page without using risky or damaging dialogue. In a 2008 study by Maddux and colleagues individual negotiators in an imagined negotiation scenario where instructed to subtly mirror the actions of the other. It was found that mirroring helped them secure a better outcome and allowed them to perform better as a whole than negotiators who were instructed to focus more on their own strategy and where no mention of mirroring was given. The subjects that mirrored in this experiment created more value for themselves under the parameter of the study and that benefit did not come at the expense of their opponents. The study suggests that mirroring creates more information sharing which lead to a greater ability to bend on concessions and hence formulate more positive outcomes for each party.
