Body Language by N.G.Palit. Body Language is the language which our body sp...Nanda Palit
Body Language is the language which our bodies speak, many times even without our conscious knowledge. But, when we speak, our body language must be in congruence with our oral words. People tend to believe our body language more than what we speak, whenever there is any variance between the two. Body language is a truth teller. We must improve our body language if we want to be a more effective communicator. Observing other's body language also helps us to understand what others want to actually convey. So, closely observing body language can greatly improve our interpersonal skills, and help us to maintain cordial relationship with every body.
Esteem is a simple word. It is worth and value that we apply to people, places, and situations. It is the amount of respect we assess. We have esteem for our world leaders. We have esteem for places like church and synagogue. We have esteem for an exemplary performance whether it is in sports, acting, or simply doing the right thing.
But the most important place we need to apply esteem is within ourselves. We must maintain our self-esteem in order to place value on ourselves as a worthy individual in the world.
Self-esteem can affect every single part of our lives. If our esteem is low, our lives will be dull and gray. Elevating esteem for ourselves is a crucial key to happiness in life.
Most people's feelings and thoughts about themselves fluctuate somewhat based on their daily experiences. The grade you get on an exam, how your friends treat you, ups and downs in a romantic relationship – all can have a temporary impact on your well-being.
Your own self-esteem, however, is something more fundamental than the normal "ups and downs" associated with situational changes. For people with healthy basic self- esteem, normal "ups and downs" may lead to temporary fluctuations in how they feel about themselves, but only to a limited extent. In contrast, for people with poor basic self-esteem, these "ups and downs" may make all the difference in the world.
People with poor self-esteem often rely on how they are doing in the present to determine how they feel about themselves. They need positive external experiences to counteract the negative feelings and thoughts that constantly plague them. Even then, the good feeling (from a good grade, compliment from a boss, loving words from a family member or friend, etc.) can be temporary.
Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to assess ourselves accurately (know ourselves) and still be able to accept and to value ourselves unconditionally. This means being able to realistically acknowledge our strengths and limitations (which is part of being human) and at the same time accepting ourselves as worthy and worthwhile without conditions or reservations.
What we want to do is help you raise your self-esteem to levels that will enhance your life and the way you view life. It can make a tremendous difference in your quality of life. Learning techniques to raise self-esteem can be taught and put into practice in just a few days. However, it will take commitment and consistent practice to keep your healthy self-worth nurtured and nourished in your daily life.
We can show you how to improve your self-esteem in just one weekend! Three short days applying the information in this book and you will be on your way to healthy self-esteem as your life becomes the bright place it is meant to be.

workshop will look at the internal and external causes of defensiveness, as well as ways that mediators can
intentionally work with this natural phenomena.

3. NVC involves objectively observing facts, identifying honest feelings and underlying universal needs, and making specific, doable requests. This transforms conflicts from fights or submissions into mutual understanding of human needs.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
2. ASSERTIVENESS
It is the ability to clearly
communicate one’s opinions,
needs , wants, interests,
feelings, etc. to another
in a non-defensive and
non-threatening way.

3. CHARACTERISTICS OF :
1 SUBMISSIVE people
find themselves taken advantage of,
exploited and in some
situations scapegoated.
These people usually tend not to respect
themselves and are sometimes cruelly referred to as
“doormats”.
Tend to avoid conflict and responsibility
Seek out others who can protect them but whom they
nevertheless control
Payoffs are able to manipulate and control
others through a style which s often praised
for its “selflessness”.
3
4. CHARACTERISTICS OF :
2 FLIGHT people
avoid or run away from conflict situations
Is probably the worst response
because it implies a total
abrogation or denial of
responsibility and control over
a situation.
Payoff : none
They have relative peace and
quiet but they have difficulty
asserting their rights or
gaining any meaningful
objectives for themselves. 4
5. CHARACTERISTICS OF :
3 “FIGHT” or Aggressive people
tend not respect the rights of others and,
consequently, they often invoke in other people
feelings of fear, helplessness and anger.
Are often counter-attacked or lose
control of a situation and are
often left with a sense of guilt.
Payoff : They are often able to
achieve their objectives and
control those around them.
5
6. CHARACTERISTICS OF :
4 Assertive people
tend to respect themselves and their own rights
They have better balanced relationships with fewer
bad feelings.
Tend to be less
anxious and have a
sense of control
without needing to
control others.

The four-part Assertive Conversion
1. “I feel …”
2. “Here’s why…”
5. “Here’s what I think is
fair…”

will/I’ll…”
( Use as needed) “If you choose not to do this…”

neither are you!”
10. “Behavior is a
mirror in which
everyone shows
his image.”
Sharon Anthony Bower, “Asserting Yourself”,
National Press Publications, 1995
Tip : Assertive Behavior Is a Choice.
Choose not to.
Give yourself “ permission to pause.”
Decide to “ go for it ” now. 10

13. The Power of a Positive Two-Letter Word
• Listen to the request.
• Ask questions to get details.
• Stop. Pause. Think.
(Stay silent for 5-10 seconds. The person will explain
more as he/she talks to fill the silence.)
• Decide immediately.
Ask yourself : Do I feel stressed?
Do I feel challenged?
• Give reasons.
• Offer alternatives.

14. Two “No ” scripts to Open Negotiations
“_________, there’s
nothing I’d like better
than to do what you
propose, but you know
my rule. Never do
anything unless I can do
it well. And I can’t do
that now because there
“No to are too many other things
PEER” on my schedule that must
( from Prioritize, Organize )
be done first” 14
15. Two “No ” scripts to Open Negotiations
“You have
assigned my team
five tasks. In the
time you’ve given
us, we can
complete three of
these tasks. Which
three are your
“No to SUPERVISOR”
priorities?” 15
( from Prioritize, Organize )
16. • Your Natural No Different Ways of
This is your own idiosyncratic
version.
2. Reflective Listening, Then No
Reflect back the content and
feeling of the request and then
say no. ( Adapted from Bolton, 1987, 196-9)
3. The Reasoned No
Say no and give a succinct reason for it.
4. The Rainy Check No
Say no this time, but suggest that the other person
asks again. 16
17. 5. The Broken Record Different Ways of
For use with very aggressive or
manipulative people (e.g. sales
people). Simply use a one-
sentence refusal and repeat it no
matter what the other says.
6. The Flat No ( Adapted from Bolton, 1987, 196-9)
Rarely used by assertive persons but simply
saying “no” is appropriate at times.
7. The Celebrative No
This is a dramatic gesture to signify refusal (like
Martin Luther pinning his theses to the door of the
Wittenberg church). 17
18. threatening part of the message is “surrounded” on
each side by positive and descriptive message. A
reinforcement sandwich looks like this:
I appreciated the way in
which you were able to do
the report on the PMR
although,
I was not as happy with
your concluding remarks
on the CALL REPORT
which could be reworded.
A Reinforcement
Sandwich
I have confidence in your
ability to do this.
18
19. Here the message was
given in a way that
was helpful. It was
not evaluative or
judgmental. Neither
was it vacuous praise
which is equally
dangerous for good
communication.
Instead it was descriptive and concrete. When
giving praise these are two essential
prerequisites. This technique is useful with
particularly sensitive people.
19
20. Good communication
and assertiveness
skills are the essential
building blocks for the
conflict manager.
Without these there is
little hope that conflict
will be handled
appropriately. They are
worth, therefore,
careful consideration
and practice.

The LOSER is always part of the problem.
The WINNER always has a programme,
The LOSER always has an excuse.
The WINNER sees an answer for every problem,
The LOSER sees a problem in every answer.
