Effective Communication 101 Life and Learning Workshop September 24, 2007 Presented by: Melanie Bentley-Cruz Center for Student Leadership and Community Engagement

Presentation Overview Two opening activities Ways we communicate Barriers to communication Overcoming those barriers Listening Questions, comments, concerns

What is Effective Communication? Cingular Commercial YouTube: What does this tell us about communication?

Activity- Thanks for Coming Listen to the instructions What did you notice? How does this activity help us to understand communication?

Ways We Communicate Writing- resumes, cover letters, professional letters, s, facebook, MySpace Talking- public speaking, face-to-face, cell phone messages, interviews, voice mail Listening Non-verbals

Barriers to Communication Physical barriers- yelling across the hall, communicating from different locations Perceptual barriers- we all see the world differently Emotional barriers- withholding thoughts and feelings Cultural barriers- group behaviors Language barriers- not everyone is familiar with all languages or jargon

Ways to overcome these barriers Physical barriers- try to use face-to-face communication frequently Perceptual barriers- recognize we have different values and try to recognize where the person is speaking from Emotional barriers- try to build trust

Cultural barriers- recognize differences in meaning, pacing, volume and gesture, space, and touch Language barriers- learn more about different cultures, relax, try to find a place where there are not many additional stimuli to take away from the exchange of messages - ask what people need in order to communicate most effectively - Solicit feedback

Tips and Tricks Assess who you are speaking to -peer, professor, co-worker, boss, family If possible- PLAN Check on non-verbal and simple errors In conflict, focus on the problem, not the person Listen and be honest with yourself

Assertiveness Assertiveness- expressing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a direct and honest way. Use “I” statements “I” statements include 3 parts: -Feelings, behavior, effect -Let’s create an “I” statement!

Listening “We were given two ears but only one mouth, because listening is twice as hard as talking." How to listen: -Attending -Paraphrasing -Clarifying - Perception checking Make active listening a habit (it takes 21 days to turn something into a habit!)
