its subject4. e-mail – private, less formal than letter, less
likely to be kept like letter5. faxes – personal, public6. internal newsletter – public, not for bad news,

32
Interpersonal Communication PrimerYou listen to and acknowledge other people's
thoughts and feelings: Rather than showing that you only care about broadcasting your feelings and insisting that others agree with you, you encourage others to express what they are thinking and feeling. You listen and try to understand.
33
Interpersonal Communication Primer - Cont.You express your own thoughts and feelings
openly and directly: If you only listen to what other people are thinking or feeling and you don't express your own thoughts or feelings, you end up feeling shortchanged or "dumped on."
34
Interpersonal Communication Skills I-statements help you express the way you
feel and what you want with great clarity. Sometimes people use "you" statements, such as "You never call when you are going to be late." This type of statement can make others feel angry and defensive immediately. When you use I-statements, such as, "I really need to know when you're going to be here so I can make plans," you express your the concern in terms of you.
35
Interpersonal Communication Skills - Cont.A respectful tone of voice conveys that you
are taking others seriously and that you also expect to be taken seriously. In addition, people with good communication skills are assertive without being aggressive or manipulative
36
Interpersonal Communication Skills - Cont. Eye contact is vital for good communication.
For example, how would you feel if the person you were talking to kept looking around the hallway or out the window?
37
Interpersonal Communication Skills - Cont. Appropriate body language encourages
conversation. Nodding your head, smiling, laughing, using words such as "uh-huh" and "yeah" and asking questions at appropriate times assure the person that you are really listening.
38
Interpersonal Communication Skills - Cont. Clear, organized ideas help you accurately
and honestly describe your feelings and contribute to conversations and to decisions that need to be made. Good communicators are also specific. For example, a good communicator would say, "I need to use the computer from 7-9," as opposed to "I'll need the computer tonight."
39
Communication StylesPassive communication involves the inability
or unwillingness to express thoughts and feelings. Passive people will do something they don't want to do or make up an excuse rather than say how they feel.
40
Communication Styles - Cont.Assertive behavior involves standing up for
oneself. Assertive people will say what they think and stand up for their beliefs without hurting others
41
Communication Styles - Cont.The aggressive style of communication
involves overreaction, blaming and criticizing. Aggressive people try to get their way through bullying, intimidating or even physical violence. They do not or will not consider the rights of others.
