Understanding practice What’s your job? What do you enjoy about it? Pick a challenge you’ve recently faced How did you cope with it? Feed back on one strength your partner has in their role, which they don’t actually mention eg. ‘It sounds like you are really passionate about doing X.’

Understander skills: getting under the surface Scratch the surface: facts, information Probe: opinions, ideas Search: beliefs, values

Calm down, dearie.

I think you’ll find shouting gets you nowhere.

Communication blocks Patronise ‘Calm down’ ‘I think you’ll find…’ ‘It was clearly stated….’ Clichés ‘I hear what you’re saying,…..but…’ ‘I understand your position.’ ‘With all due respect,…’ Judge ‘You’re over-reacting/being unreasonable.’ ‘That’s just typical of an academic.’ Impose solutions ‘What you need to do is ….’ ‘The best way forward is to..’ Avoid concerns ‘That’s not the point.’ ‘I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.’ ‘What do you expect me to do about it? ‘Don’t be ridiculous.’ Give negative message ‘… not possible’ ‘….not our policy’ ‘ can’t do that’ Be defensive ‘ Look, it’s not my fault.’ ‘But I wasn’t informed of that.’ ‘That’s not true.’

Key elements of successful communication The right climate A genuine dialogue Willingness to be open Purpose achieved
