Dr Albert Mehrabian (UCLA)
The way people communicate is
inseparable from the feelings that they project.
Dr Albert Mehrabian (UCLA)
Fear of judgment? Clarity of the message? Will I be understood? I’ll look silly or not too bright.
Believing that some kind of action will be taken or followed
Creating a bond between giver and receiver of thoughts, ideas and emotions (feelings) which ultimately leads to understanding.

Be clear in your own mind before presenting your ideas.
Understand that what excites you, may not get the other person “All Fired Up”.
Approach every situation with an “Us” attitude rather than an “I” mindset.
Ignore
Pretend
Selectively
Attentively
Empathetic

Begin with nothing Listen “to” not “for” Avoid comparing their reality to yours Ask questions for clarity Eliminate: Prejudice, Opinions,
Emotions, Concepts.
Outline expectations of conversation Give feedback that outlines your
understanding of the conversation Be true to your word. Don’t make
promises that you cannot keep
From listening comes
wisdom and from speaking repentance
Italian Proverb
Things – What they own, clothes, cars..
Achievements – Degrees, honors Personality traits – Courage,
determination, faith..
One strength or quality that I see in you is..
The reason that I say that is….(Give evidence)
If all it took was flattery,
everybody would be an expert in
human relations.
1. Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.
2. Give honest, sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Become genuinely interested in the other person.
5. Smile.6. Remember that a person’s name
is the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
7. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
8. Talk in terms of the other person’s interests.
9. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely.
Listen without interrupting Connect or cushion
“I hear you…” “I understand…” “I see your concern about…” “I appreciate your view on…”
Avoid: But However Never the less
Use neutral words And Pause Yet
Think: What do I think? Why do I think
that? What is an
example that I can use?
Consider offering a solution.
Speak: One example is… Therefore I
believe… This example
shows…
Focus on strengths rather than perceived weaknesses
Seek feedback from people that you trust about your personal impact
Learn about others by asking them about their interests
Look for small opportunities to build acquaintances with co-workers ex: coffee, lunch, etc.
Take notice of the needs and concerns of others before you get too busy to care.
Smile Posture…visualize an enthusiastic,
confident person Breathe…. Deep cleansing breaths Think….Ask better questions, focus on
the positive.
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good
learn wisdom for the future
