Introduction: Communication Change Challenge (CCC) Parts 2
and 3
This week, you were to continue your observation log (Part 2)
from Week 2 Course Project. In Part 3, you
are to observe the communication behavior of others who share
your challenge and others who perform
better in similar situations. Part 3 will help you to identify
positive changes related to your challenge that you
might make to your communication behavior. This will also
help ensure that you don't fall into the trap of
adopting alternative communication behaviors that do not
improve your communication outcomes. For this
assignment, make sure to observe and write about an individual
and a group. You can choose which
conversations will be for the positive models and negative
models (e.g., positive – group and negative –
individual OR positive – individual and negative – group).
Reminder: You are still observing; you should not be making

8. changes to your communication
behaviors yet.

Provide 4 conversation model examples of effective application
of this communication skill by others, i.e.,
positive modeling. Examples should be specific and based on
your observations of others. Label each
example: 3A1, 3A2, 3A3, and 3A4, and so forth if you have
more.
3B. Negative Models
Find negative models. Identify people who perform verbal,

9. nonverbal, and listening skills ineffectively.
Watching these can be very useful, too.
Provide 4 conversation model examples of ineffective
application of this communication skill by others, i.e.,
negative modeling. Again, your examples should be specific and
based on your observations of others.
Label each example: 3B1, 3B2, 3B3, and 3B4, and so forth if
you have more.
Reminder: Go back to Week 2 Part 2. Provide the new daily
conversations, and submit Part 2 for this week

5 Covert Rehearsal: Practicing in your imagination Week 5
6 Behavioral Rehearsal: Practicing your new behavior Week 5
7 Actual Implementation: Performing your behavior in real-life
situations Week 7
8 Evaluating your progress Week 8
3A. Positive Models
Find positive models. Choose a person or several people who
perform your interpersonal communication
skill well. Observe and record specific aspects of their verbal
and nonverbal behaviors and listening skills as
they relate to your chosen issue.
What do they say?
How do they say it?
How did listening help you to understand the positive model?
What behaviors would be useful to incorporate into your own
repertoire?

10. What makes them ineffective verbally?
What makes them ineffective nonverbally?
How did listening make this a negative model?
What behavior do these people exhibit that you would like to
avoid?
