Concentrate on the sender.

Be attentive. Look directly at the speaker and give feedback. Use all the listening skills you’ve learned.

Control your emotions.

• Make a conscious effort to listen, even if the message is unpleasant.

• Control negative feelings you have toward the sender.

• Be sure facial expressions communicate understanding, acceptance, or confusion -- not hostility.

Space and Territory

The importance of personal space is affected by age, gender, status, and culture. Men maintain more distance than women. Age differences usually make differences in personal space needs.

Time

Beginning a job promptly indicates competence and implies that you know what to do and how to do it! Being tardy implies incompetence!

Body and Facial Movement

Body movements may convey a number of different messages. Facial expressions may convey more than your verbal message.

Voice

Research states that 93% of your attitude, as perceived by others, is conveyed by

your tone of voice and its intensity.

The initial visual impression influences a co-worker’s interest and willingness to

communicate with you.

Touch

Touch expresses sympathy, solidarity, or friendship. Touch can be misinterpreted depending on how well the communicators know one another and circumstances surrounding the message.
