Editor's Notes
- Dr. Albert Mehrabian’s 7-38-55% Rule 7% of the message is conveyed through word choices. 38% of the message is conveyed through voice tone. 55% of the message is conveyed through body language. Only 7% of your message is through words! Think about how much your tone and body language is communicating. Think about talking on the phone – main communication is through your tone. Your tone is going to make or break the conversation. Please remember that this formula is not intended to be applied across all communication. Different scenarios cause different results but it’s a good reminder on how important tone and body language is during a conversation/communication. Do you smile when you talk on the phone? What is your tone in emails?
- Effective communication combines a set of skills including attentive listening, nonverbal communication, the ability to manage stress in the moment, and the capacity to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you are communicating with. Remember – effective communication is a learned skill and it is more effective when it’s spontaneous. For example – a speech that is read rarely has the same impact as a speech that’s delivered spontaneously. It takes time and effort to develop these skills.
- ACTIVITY (10 Minutes): Have printout of story too Pretend that you are a bus driver. It is your job to drive the MAT Bus. One day you get on the bus and you start to count. At the first stop 5 people get on your bus. At the next stop 3 people get on and 2 people get off the bus. At the next stop 2 people get off the bus. At the next stop 3 people get on and 1 person gets off the bus. Here is the question. What color are the eyes of the bus driver? Interesting stats: When you first ask the question - Usually at this point less than 25 % of the group will know the answer. Repeat the question. According to research by the authors: 87% of the people taking the test for the first time will not be able to correctly answer the question. The second time people are given the test immediately following the first test 50% will still not be able to answer correctly. The third time people are given the test on the same day immediately following the preceding test 20% will still not be able to answer correctly.)
- Second skill in effective communication is recognizing and using nonverbal correctly – yourself and being able to read others. Developing the ability to understand and use nonverbal communication can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, navigate challenging situations and build better relationships. If you are the receiver of a negative or stressful message, what is your face and body saying? What have you witnessed from others in that situation? Eye rolling, foot tapping, heavy sighing, eyebrow raising, crossing arms, hands on hips, shaking of a finger, etc. Studies suggest that over 90% of the meaning we derive comes from nonverbal cues that one person gives to another.
- To use your senses to quickly relieve stress, you first need to identify the sensory experiences that work best for you. This can require some experimentation. As you employ different senses, note how quickly your stress levels drop. And be as precise as possible. What is the specific kind of sound or type of movement that affects you the most? For example, if you’re a music lover, listen to many different artists and types of music until you find the song that instantly lifts and relaxes you.

- Crises come in different intensities. As a “landscape scale” event,1 the coronavirus has created great uncertainty, elevated stress and anxiety, and prompted tunnel vision, in which people focus only on the present rather than toward the future. During such a crisis, when information is unavailable or inconsistent, and when people feel unsure about what they know (or anyone knows), behavioral science points to an increased human desire for transparency, guidance, and making sense out of what has happened.
- Every crisis has a life cycle, and emotional states and needs vary with the cycle’s stages. In a recent article, our colleagues framed the COVID-19 crisis in five stages: resolve, resilience, return, reimagination, and reform. These stages span the crisis of today to the next normal that will emerge after COVID-19 has been controlled. The duration of each stage may vary based on geographic and industry context, and organizations may find themselves operating in more than one stage simultaneously (exhibit).
