Touching on more listening techniques in later chapters he offer three technique to help improve are listening techniques. This includes having a save environment to share feelings, to have an understanding and the ability to actively listen to the talker and to clarify the problem. In conclusion the book serves as a wonderful resource tool to use to improve our listening and communication skills.

These quotes is relevant to me that in every fault or failure I make I don’t have to be defensive about it but accept these mistakes and to use them as stepping stone to improve myself and change for the better. “Well done is better than well said.” and “Speak little, do much.” [The meaning of these words is fairly easy to understand, but they serve as an excellent reminder to us. The things that we DO for others are so much more important than the things we SAY to others. In other words: “Actions Speak Louder Than Words.” So simple… but so very important to the relationships we are trying to build every day. These quotations are very relevant to me, especially because I am a very expressive or kind of a talkative person.
Being a read/write learner means that you prefer written material, you rather read than listen. If you are a visual learner, you learn better by seeing pictures and diagrams. Some learn best by listening, they are called auditory learners. Others learn by actually touching and working out things, being very hands-on, they are referred to as kinesthetic learners. References Feldman, R. S. (2011).
I also nod when I think it is appropriate. I try to make my facial expression suit what the service user A is saying, so if she was sad about something I'd show I was sad as well, if she was happy I'd show I was happy. While I'm trying to postural echo with service user A I am also paraphrasing. I think that my active listening skills are very good but there is always room for improvement. I feel I could improve mine by putting a mute button on my inner voice, trying to use my body language to greater effect and I could always ask
Good communication skills, such as active listening and questioning skills are essential for the mentor to ensure that learner fully understand what being discussed. Explain why a mentor must have good listening skills. A mentor must have good listening skills. Listening allows the mentor to understand the goals and concerns of the mentee. It also can encourage the mentee to open up and speak more.
It’s also easier to make the critical voice ego dystonic, something the client eventually rejects as “not me.” At the same time that you are identifying and naming the pathological critic, you can also introduce the client to his or her “healthy voice.” The healthy voice is the client’s ability to think realistically. By emphasizing and strengthening this ability you are positioning the client to begin talking back to the critic. Names that are typically used for the healthy voice include “my rational part,” “my accepting part,” “my compassionate part," “my healthy coach,” and so on. Choose a name that fits the client’s self-concept (i.e.,
When working in a team setting I find myself wanting to start ahead of everyone else and leading the group to obtain the best results. The D style personality weaknesses can include when I over step authority due to control issues. My listening skills are often poor in certain situations, which results to overlooking the important issues. The dominance personality style person is motivated by new challenges and achieving goals. Dominance personality leaders are humble but enjoy verbal recognition as well as rewards.
They are identified in a person but aren’t really the person’s number one choice. The preferred strategies are the strategies that help the person learn and cope to their needs. Identified strategies are there and also help but the person would prefer the other strategies over them. As discussed earlier, kinesthetic strategies embody actively engaging into the lesson. On the contrary, aural study strategies engage “attending classes, discussions, and tutorials, discussing topics with others and teachers, and using a tape recorder.” People who are good listeners and learn better by hearing have aural strategies.
There are numerous arguments why screeds should be personalised. Personalising an induction for a client and focussing it on their favoured modality and whether they prefer an authoritarian or permissive technique can help them feel more at ease with their surroundings. By starting off with the clients preferred modality you can create a safe and restful space for them to begin with, but, it is important to make sure you use there all of there senses in their induction to create a more rounded and fulfilling experience. Although an all round screed using all the senses is important, it is not the only facet to consider as we need to build up a rapport with the client. This view is supported by Diamond 1984 cited in Lynn & Rhue (1991) “One of the most salient features of the hypnotic situation is the relationship between the subject and the hypnotist” This shows that building a connection with the client is evidently important and can open up more pathways into the clients
By using demonstrative communications will allow both the sender and receiver to concentrate on the communication instead of trying to analyze the nonverbal behavior of one another. By removing barriers and actively listening and responding will allow the message to be sent, decoded and received. When both parties are engaged in the communication, the more productive and efficient they will be. Conclusion By implementing the best practices for demonstrative communication will help an individual both professional and personally. Practice makes perfect and it will be a constant learning experience because everyone is different.
