PREPARING YOURSELF TO FRAME SPONTANEOUSLYEffective communication requires framing and credibility with a merger of (communication) goals and spontaneity.(p. 143-144) Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Use Priming Priming is activating mental models, anticipated opportunities, and/or desirable language sometime prior to communicating. ~~~ Priming is assisted by reflection. Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Spontaneous Communication vs. Planning to Communicate • Both result in (communication) goals but with planned goals, your emergent goals are developed. • Why is this better? An advantage? Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Why is this better? An advantage? • Emergent goals are set “on-the-spot”; they’re intermediate goals that support the short-term and global goals. • So, planned goals will help your ability to manage meaning, in order to communicate your frame. • That ability is to manage meaning is connected to goal consciousness. Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
How do you manage meaning? How do you frame? • Build mental models • Bring mental models into conscious awareness • Develop frames from your mental readiness ~~~ • Mental readiness is developed by the conscious recall you have and use to leave an unconscious imprint. Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
In building mental models • Take time to develop them for future use • Clarify values • Clarify mission To bring mental models into conscious awareness • Use reflection • Communicate mental models to others Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Situational Opportunities for Priming • 1. Specific Situations = Rehearsal • 2. Total Surprises = Clarification (of values and mission) • And… Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Situational Opportunities for Priming, continued • 3. Repeatable Contexts: Don’t take the familiar for granted; insist on using spontaneity; repetition of contexts will make your point(s) and communicate your message(s) • Plus… Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Situational Opportunities for Priming, continued • 4. High Impact • Recognize the factors: • Unnecessary complexity • Misleading info • Loose ends • Suppressed info • Barriers to action • Respond appropriately • Simplify • Set the record straight • Forge linkages • Discover the missing puzzle piece (p. 160) • Find new angles for removing the barriers Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
“How To”with Repeatable Contexts • Visualize your repeatable contexts but imagine them differently, as different contexts or as a different situation. • Imagine your task, relationship, and identity goals in each of the contexts you have visualized. Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
Tacit or Implicit Learning • “The unconscious processing of information… occurs when knowledge is acquired implicitly, held tacitly, and used unconsciously.” • Language skills and spontaneous communication are related to tacit/implicit learning. Dr. Joanne E. Nottingham
