INTERDEPENDENCE AT WORK What incident have you witnessed (or can imagine happening) in whichindependencein the workplace interfered with achieving desired outcomes and experiences?
BELIEVING IN YOURSELF: BE ASSERTIVE FOCUS QUESTION How can you communicate in a style that strengthens relationships, creates better results, and builds strong self-esteem?
INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Placating Its okay if you don’t help with our project in sociology. I’ll just do the work myself. Please don’t be upset with me. I'll drive your friends to the airport and study for my math test later. I'm sorry. I should have cleaned up the mess from our party last night. I’ll do it right now.
INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Blaming You never do anything to help our study team. You’re just lazy! This room is a mess! When do you plan to start doing your share of work around here? My sociology instructor gives unfair tests! He thinks he can ask questions about anything that we were supposed to read for homework.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Leveling I know you've got a lot of work to do tonight. Could we spend just ten minutes cleaning up this mess together? Before I can help you with your paper, I need to finish studying for a test. How about if you help me review tonight and I'll work with you on your paper tomorrow afternoon?
THREE STRATEGIES THAT PROMOTE LEVELING Communicate purposefully Have a clear goal for your communication. Communicate honestly Express unpopular thoughts and upsets. Communicate Responsibly Be accountable by using “I Messages.”
APPLYING THE CONCEPT After reading each statement below, identify whether it is placating, blaming or leveling. I was really upset when you and your friends came in at three o’clock last night, laughing and yelling. I have to leave for work at 6 a.m. and I need my sleep. Would you agree to never do that again? Leveling Don’t worry about waking me up last night. I know you enjoy partying with your friends. I’ll just go to work sleepy. If I get fired, I can probably find another job. Placating
APPLYING THE CONCEPT You are such a jerk! You never show respect for anyone. Why in the world would you be yelling and slamming stuff around at three o'clock in the morning?! Man, you make me sick! Blaming Professor Hartley, I had a couple of questions about my failing grade on the test, and I'd like to make an appointment to discuss those with you. Would tomorrow morning during your office hours be a good time? Say 9:30? Leveling
JOURNAL ENTRY 19: WARM-UP On a clean piece of paper, create two columns. Title one column “Assertive” and title the other column “Unassertive.” In each column, list 10 or more words that you associate with the key word. Write for three minutes about the key differences between being Assertive and being Unassertive. Be prepared to share your writing. On another piece of paper, create a sketch that illustrates the essence of the two concepts: Assertive and Unassertive. Be prepared to explain your drawing.
EMBRACING CHANGE: DO ONE THING DIFFERENT THIS WEEK Look at the list of 10 beliefs and behaviors regarding interdependence. (Page 203) Which is the one you are least inclined to do? Dive deep and explore why. See if you can learn something important about how you view interdependence.
BECOMING AN ACTIVE LEARNER: TRANSLATION One effective method of memorization is "translating." First, translate verbal information (ideas expressed in words) into visual information (ideas expressed in pictures). Second, translate the information back into words by explaining the picture to someone else.
EXAMPLE OF TRANSLATION Here’s a visual way to remember the three qualities of leveling: A porpoise (purposeful) is swimming to Abraham Lincoln (honest) because it’s responsible for returning his wallet
BECOMING AN ACTIVE LEARNER: TRANSLATING One of the key reasons that some cognitive psychologists believe the translation strategy works because of "dual encoding.” That means the brain stores information in both visual and verbal form.
BECOMING AN ACTIVE LEARNER: PRACTICE TRANSLATING Translate one of the following into a picture and be prepared to explain your drawing. Feel free to use the On Course text for the information. 5 suggestions for writing a meaningful journal (page 5) 5 things you Collect when reading (page 57) 4 ways to refute irrational beliefs (page 52) 4 self-management tools (page 136-149) 3 ways to empower your affirmation (page 102) 3 principles of deep and lasting learning (page 14-15)
