  6. There is an increase in emotions like anger, frustration, etc. One feels that they are being threatened. People get involved, choosing sides. The individuals were not friendly prior to the conflict. The individuals have few peace making skills. They like to engage in conflict. The conflict will escalate if 6

  7. Attention is focused on the problem, not the participants There is a decrease in emotion and perceived threat. The individuals were friendly prior to the conflict. They know how to make peace, or have someone help them do so. There is a desire to reduce conflict. The conflict will de-escalate if 7

  15. Listening is an art of actively paying attention to a person’s words, nonverbal cues, and feelings that are indirectly expressed. We listen to what he or she says, feels and expresses through gestures. How well we Listen #2 How we communicate:

  16. We listen to what the person “means” by comparing his or her words with the feelings we get from the nonverbal language. We listen to how a word is used, how a sigh is expressed, how the voice sounds, and what the face shows. How well we Listen #3 How we communicate:

  17. Extreme and concentrated listening requires a lot of patience and open-mindedness on the part of the listener. It is important to make the client feel that you are listening. How well we Listen #4 How we communicate:

  18. Use good nonverbal behaviors like eye contact, nodding the head, touching the hand, etc. Restate the words of the person to let him or her know that he or she has been heard. This can help to clarify what the person has expressed. How well we Listen #5 How we communicate:

  19. “I’ll try” These words show no commitment. “But” Hints that whatever comes next is negative. “It’s (Not) our policy” State what the policy is to the person. Inform and provide options. Choose words carefully

  20. I hear what you’re saying I see what you mean I don’t blame you feel that way think that are concerned about that are upset Respond using Empathy The goal here is to establish a rapport with the person I can understand that you…

  21. “Others have felt the same way” “No one likes that” “I’ve felt that way at times myself” This approach takes the focus away from the person’s singular position and lets them know they are not alone. You are not alone in your thinking The goal here is to establish a rapport with the person

  22. Nonverbal communication, or body language, is a vital form of communication. When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive countless wordless signals. All nonverbal behaviors – the gestures we make, the way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make – send strong messages. The power of nonverbal communication and body language (1) non-verbal communication

  23. The nonverbal signals you send either produce a sense of interest, trust and desire for connection – or they generate disinterest, distrust and confusion. The power of nonverbal communication and body language (2)

  24. Review the “First Impressions” handout and discuss what nonverbal messages you might be sending in each of the twelve nonverbal behaviors. Be prepared to discuss with class. “First Impressions” Group Exercise It has been said that actions speak louder than words.

  25. Types of nonverbal communication & body language (#1) There are many different types of nonverbal communication. Together, the following nonverbal signals and cues communicate your interest and investment in others. Facial Expressions Gestures Eye Contact Touch Body movements and posture

  26. Types of nonverbal communication & body language (#2) Think about the messages given by the following: a firm handshake; a timid tap on the shoulder; a warm bear hug; a reassuring pat on the back; a patronizing pat on the head; or a controlling grip on your arm. Space 26

  27. Summary • Effective communication and the development of effective listening skills is critical for recognizing and preventing a “Conflict” from turning into a “Crisis”. • We need to develop strategies for “Prevention” rather than “Reaction” • Build relationships with patients/clients, so you can recognize the verbal, nonverbal, and paraverbal cues they exhibit. 27
