COMMUNICATON
• Is critical because it let others know what you
feel, what you want and need, and what you
know.
• Effective communication is a two-way street.
It means sending messages that are
interpreted correctly, and it means
interpreting messages that you receive.
• There are three
basic skills
associated with
effective
communication:
speaking,
listening, and
body language.
• Say clearly what you mean.
• Do not assume others can read your mind or
know your needs or expectations.
• Changes in your tone of voice and its pitch and
loudness plays a large role in how you
communicate.
• Saying no too softly makes it seem as if you
don’t mean what you are saying.
• So it is not just what you say that is important
to communicating but how you say it.

When the message to be
delivered has a strong
emotional content, it is best
to use an “I” message.
An “I” message is a
statement in which a person
tells how he or she feels
using the pronoun “I”
Using “I” messages can help
you avoid blaming, namecalling, or antagonizing the
other person in other ways.
4.5 Demonstrate the ability to express emotions constructively, including use
of anger management skills.
3.13 Demonstrate the ability to use conflict resolution skills.

Listening is the part of
communication that is most
often overlooked.
“Hearing” is not the same as
listening!
The average listener correctly
understands, properly evaluates,
and retains only about 30
percent of what he or she hears
in a 10-minute presentation.
Within 48 hours, memory of
what was said drops to an even
lower percentage.
ACTIVE LISTENING
 Skilled listeners use “active listening”,
really paying attention to what someone is
saying and feeling..
 Active listeners techniques –
 Reflective
listening. Rephrase or
summarize what the other person has said
so that you are sure you understand what
is intended. “So, you would like your
parents to trust you more, is this right?”
ACTIVE LISTENING
Encouraging. Give signals that you are
really interested and involved. Saying “Can
you tell me more…?”
Clarifying. Ask the person how he or she feels
about the situation or asking questions to
understand what is being said. “When did this
happen?”
Empathizing. Feel what the other person is
feeling. If the person feels sad, feel sad too.
“You seem very upset.”
ACTIVE LISTENING
 Validating – to acknowledge the value of
their issues and feelings. Show
appreciation for their efforts and actions.
“I appreciate your willingness to resolve
this matter.”
• Tips for becoming a more effective listener:
– Give your full attention to the person speaking
– Listen for feeling and watch for gestures.
– Make eye contact. Do not interrupt. Wait your turn.
COMMUNICATION: AGREEING TO
DISAGREE
It is not realistic to think that you and
your friends will agree on everything.
Give the person a turn to speak.
Avoid shouting the person down.
Keep your ears-and-mindopen.
Use “I” messages. You will feel better in
the end if you express your beliefs and
feelings in an appropriate way.
AGREEING TO DISAGREE
Stick to the subject.
Don’t bring the person’s character
or personality into the discussion.
Keep the tone friendly.
If your friend holds a different
view from yours on a particular
topic, remember that tastes vary
from individual to individual.
