It also suggests actively listening without interrupting, asking open-ended questions, using the other person's name, reflecting shared feelings, and telling interesting stories. The goal is to engage others through animated speech, building rapport, and appearing interested in what they have to say.

Davidson Alumni Webinar - Tough ConversationsMark S. Young
The PPT slide-deck from our Dec 1, 2015 alumni webinar facilitated by Lory Fischler, an expert on navigating critical conversations in the workplace and in our lives.
Presenter: Charlene Latimer, Faculty, School of Student Life Skills - Daytona State College
Effective communication skills are essential for success. This session will address how we communicate in a fun and interactive format. Participants will examine their styles of communicating, different forms of communication as well as strategies to improve how they interact with others in all aspects of their lives.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
4. Logical: Purposeful Communication
Physical
Take control of your environment
We feel self-assured, at ease, and powerful when we’re familiar with our surroundings
Familiarity gives us a sense of control, which makes us feel confident
But how can you be familiar with a room if it’s your first time entering it? Steve Cohen
suggests doing small things to instantly take control of your surroundings
rearrange things on the table. you tell your subconscious that you have control of
surroundings, which makes you more confident and magnetic
Use your body language/gestures
Nod to show that you’re listening
Smile and use other facial expressions
make sure your posture is open and inviting
Pause before you answer a question and look them in the eyes
5. Logical: Purposeful Communication
Physical
Use nonverbal strategies to animate your words
Animate your body language to engage others
Body gestures, facial expressions, and a vocal tone that demonstrate passion leave
more memorable impressions
Wait two seconds before responding
Breaking in the very instant a person pauses or stops talking signals to them that
you were doing the above; thinking about what you were going to say instead of
fully listening to them
Nonverbal behaviors are more powerful than verbal ones, so use this trick from
Cabane to show you’re really tuned in:
They finish their sentence Your face absorbs Your face reacts Then, and only then, you
answer
6. Logical: Purposeful Communication
Auditory
Don’t interrupt while they are speaking
Understand and empathize with what they say

conversation
Don’t think about how to respond while the person is still talking
ok to work through responses as you’re giving it; embrace the pause
low-status individuals talk the most and feel the need to fill silence
stay in the moment and stay aware
7. Logical: Purposeful Communication

Build Rapport: Career/hobbies
Express shared feelings as others
“I am just as overwhelmed as you are," or, "I am elated at this opportunity,”

ask clarifying questions after he or she has spoken
“When you say ________, what exactly do you mean?"
“What was your favorite part of that?” or “What was the hardest part of that for you?” People enjoy reflecting on and
answering such questions
Dr. Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits: you paraphrase what the person just said and add, “Am I understanding you
correctly?”

answer
