So I was Instructing a Nursing Communication class the last week-
We spoke about all types of communication & how people communicate.
Sadly, it's true that most people have NO idea how they actually communicate.
-Perception vs reality-
In other words...perception is defined what we are seeing
& reality is defined as what is happening.
Some different styles are:
Passive (non - assertiveness)
Aggressive
Passive-agreesive
Assertive
I challenged my students to remember a conversation through reflection
that perhaps didn't "go so well".
One that they would like to have perhaps changed in any given minute.
Some spoke about co-workers, managers, partners, parents, family/friends...etc
Once they all recalled a conversation that was negative...
I asked, What would they have done differently? Why?
What made the communication within that conversation break?
Very interesting answers that were generated, and shared.
Some students were VERY REFLECTIVE in the roll they played in
the communication that lacked... as a result GREW from the experience.
Some students had NO idea how to even "reflect" rather just recalling the situation saying that they wouldn't change a thing. Blaming completely the other person
Interesting to hear others rendition of their conversations. Some remembered so vividly and others not so well, but knew perhaps not the words exchanged, but how the other made them feel in those conversations.
I reminded them, communication is that.
Some might not remember what we did, or what we said...but they sure is fuck will remember how we made them feel.
We spoke about the "aggressive style of communication" where one will:
- protect one's own rights at the expense of others' rights - no exceptions
- the goal of the aggressor is to win at all costs; to be right.
Hmm Hmm
Seems many know this style of communicator, to bad the communicator doesn't see it.
*shrugs*
It's fun moving forward and learning each day about things, that at the end of the day, make us grow as a human.
