Style: Closed minded, poor listener, interrupts, and has difficulty seeing others point of view. Behavior: Puts others down, doesn’t ever think they are wrong, know-it-all attitude. Verbal Cues: “You must”, “You should” “Don’t ask why, just do it” Effects: Provokes counter-aggression, alienation from others

Style: Indirect, hesitant Always agrees, doesn’t speak up Behavior: Tries to sit on both sides of the fence to avoid conflict Ask permission unnecessarily Lets others make choices Agree externally, while disagreeing internally Verbal Cues: “You should do it” “This is probably wrong, but…” Effects: Gives up being him or herself Slowly loses self esteem
6
Style: Effective, active listener States limits, expectations Expresses self directly, honestly and as soon as possible about feelings and wants Behavior: Knows what is needed and develops a plan to get it Realistic in expectations Consistent and fair Verbal Cues: “What are my options?” “What alternatives do we have?” Effects: Increase self esteemed of self and others Others know where they stand

Verbal communication with your teachers, counselors, and administration Greet them (Hi Ms. Doyle, how are you today?) Ask if they have time to talk or if you can schedule an appointment.
