1 Minute 6 Total We reflect on Communication Curve Balls on page 2 or your workbook. Even though our primary focus for today’s conversation is the interview meeting, you can easily use what we talk about for any workplace situation
1 Minute 7 Total It’s pretty rare that a ball player is going to catch a ball coming at them unless they are prepared, it might happen but not often
1 Minute 11 Total How many of you have taken some of those assessments before? About personality, communication styles, behavior? Have you taken the assessment report out lately? And looked at it? These tools can be very helpful and create a distinct advantage for you but you need to spend time with the report First, to clearly understand what it is saying to you and; Second to apply what you are learning about yourself to the situation at hand
3 Minutes 14 Total Now we are on Page 4 of your workbook Read the words in each quadrant Circle the words that seem most like you Not what you would like to be, but as you really are
2 Minutes 16 Total Write on the bottom of page 4 which Talk “style” is your most common and secondary style
2 Minutes 18 Total Now go to page 5 for the second part of this exercise Read down the column of your most common style Do these descriptions seem to fit for you? Maybe not all of them, but perhaps several?

2 Minute 30 Total I use the word DIAL as an acronym to describe the process of preparing for this interview conversation
1 Minute 30 Total * Primarily we are focusing today’s conversation with respect to an interview meeting, but if that doesn’t resonate with you at this time, feel free to use this exercise in relation to other workplace situations you find yourself in
2 Minutes 32 Total Extrinsic and intrinsic motivations Important to realize what’s “in it for you,” because it will come through in the conversation somehow through your talk style or accompanying behavioral partner to that talk style. If you want to be absolutely prepared for this interview, get very clear about what this all means for you so you can articulate it in a way that brings value to you. EXAMPLE: This job is important to me because I need the money So, do you suppose the interviewer will know or feel that coming from you? Of course they will! If you can acknowledge this to yourself, up front and out loud, you can manage your emotions during the interview so your dialogue doesn’t reflect a sense of being despair or feeling desperate.

3 Minutes 48 Total I’m not talking about “I don’t have the time,” or can’t/won’t find the time. Rather, most of us have a “please don’t push that button” sensor in us that gets in our way. This is the ultimate procrastinator, avoider button we all have. But it comes from different places for people.
