  1. Effective Communication

  2. I-message and You-message • I-messages expresses your feelings or thoughts on a subject. It contains a specific behavior or event, the effect of the behavior or event on the person speaking, and the emotions that result. • Example: I am in a difficult situation because you didn’t return my book to me before class today.

  3. You-message • Is a statement that blames or shames another person. A you-message puts down another person for what he or she has said or done, even if you don’t have the whole story about what happened. • Example: I can’t believe you forgot my book. You are so stupid! Can’t you do anything right?

  4. Discuss how first impressions can be influenced by body language. • 1. How would you react to someone who strode toward you smiling, firmly shook your hand, and repeated your name when being introduced to you? • How would you react to someone who did not move, waved briefly, and then looked away when being introduced to you? Why?

  5. Vocabularies: Nonverbal communication Is the use of actions rather than words to express thoughts and feelings. One form of nonverbal communication is body language. Body language-is using facial expressions, hand and foot movement, touching, posture, and the presence or absence of eye contact to communicate. Active listening occurs when a person lets others know that he or she heard ad understood what was said.

  6. Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Styles • An aggressive communication style involves accusing, blaming, showing anger, and being uncompromising. People who communicate in this way often use you-messages. • A passive communication style involves withdrawing and holding back the showing of thoughts and feelings. People who communicate in this way may be shy or fearful. • An assertive communication style involves expressing thought and feelings in an honest and direct way while respecting the right of others. People who communicate in this way use I-message to express their needs and wants.
