  1. Communication

  2. REMEMBER: Just because you talk to someone, it doesn’t mean they’re truly LISTENING to you!

  3. I versus YOU • “I” Messages: Way of talking that explains HOW you feel while remaining firm, calm, and polite. • “You” Messages: Messages that blame the other person. • Examples: I am upset that the trash wasn’t taken out VS: YOU never take out the garbage!

  4. 3 Communication Styles • Passive • Aggressive • Assertive

  5. Passive Communication • Passive: A Person does NOT offer opposition when challenged or pressured. • Problem? While the person may be nice, they may get taken advantage of. They don’t stick up for themselves; more likely to give into peer pressure to please others. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDG9PvsVxjo&feature=related

  6. Aggressive Communication • Aggressive: To be hostile and unfriendly. • Problem? Comes across as a bully or a jerk. People MAY give in to an aggressive person’s demand, but not think much of you, or talk behind your back. Instead of diffusing a situation, they’re making it worse. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvKIfHTYC2E&feature=related

  7. Assertive Communication • Assertive: Express oneself in a direct, respectful way. Uses direct “I” words without blaming others. • Problem? While not 100% perfect, assertive people get their point across without being rude. Quick, to the point, and respectful. • What could the flight attendant have said to the man on his cell phone?

  9. What did you say? • It’s not only what you say, but HOW you say it! • Tone and Pitch: Conveys the ATTITUDE you are trying to convey. • The more ATTITUDE in your messages, the less likely they are to be heard. • How are you? How ARE you? How are YOU?

  10. Manners Count!! • Don’t forget to say PLEASE and THANK YOU on a regular basis • When? • Asking permission • Emailing a teacher • When receiving something from someone • When asking to borrow something • When someone holds the door open for you • Just because…
