Even though there are yen no of ways to categorize communication, for convenience sake, we will divide it into two major categories. INTRA PERSONAL COMMUNICATION (self-motivation, auto-suggestions et al) INTER PERSONAL COMMUNICATION (Linguistic Intelligence, Motivation, persuasion.) Both complement each other and one without another is inevitable. Communication is the need of the hour as most of us are looking forward to enhance our Intra/ Inter personal communication skills to develop good rapport with our family, friends, peers, employees, clients’ et al. The Prime objective is to communicate with emotional Intelligence. Here, communicating with Empathy, Social acumen, Persuasiveness along with Conflict Management is important. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE It is not APTITUDE but ATTITIDE that determines ones ALTITUDE in life. IQ is a genetic lottery –--- Daniel Goleman – Emotional Intelligence A high IQ is not enough to guarantee success in life.

EI, why it can matter more than IQ and Working with EI received plaudit. Goleman defines EI as EI is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing our own emotions well in ourselves and in our relationship.

In 1936 he began his psychiatric residency at the Psychiatric Clinic of Yale University School of Medicine, where he worked for two years. In 1964 Berne and his San Francisco and Monterey seminar colleagues decided to create a Transactional Analysis Association, naming it the International Transactional Analysis Association in recognition of the growing number of Transactional Analysis professionals outside the USA. As a theory of personality, transactional analysis gives us a picture of how people are structured psychologically using the three-part ego-state model. Transactional analysis offers a theory of child development. The concept of life script explains how our present life patterns originated in childhood. Transactional analysis develops explanations of how we may continue to replay childhood strategies in grown-up life, even when these produce results that are self-defeating or painful. Thus transactional analysis also provides a theory of psychopathology. Ego State Model: An ego state is a set of related behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, a way in which we manifest a part of our personality at a given time. Berne also said that each person is made up of three alter ego states: Parent Adult Child These terms have different definitions than in normal language. Parent is our ‘Taught’ concept of life Adult is our ‘Thought’ concept of life Child is our ‘Felt’ concept of life When we communicate we are doing so from one of our own alter ego states, our Parent, Adult or Child. Our feelings at the time determine which one we use, and at any time something can trigger a shift from one state to another. Parent ego state: This is a set of feelings, thinking and behaviour that we have copied from our parents and significant others. Adult ego state: The Adult ego state is about direct responses to the here and now. We deal with things that are going on today in ways that are not unhealthily influenced by our past. Child ego state: The Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings, which are replayed from our own childhood. 5 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 After the cellular birth, the infant witnesses a claustrophobic physical birth and patting from the nurse gives confidence along with the magical mother’s touch. Then psychological birth takes place. In this stage the kid wants to touch, feel and see things, but always restricted and reprimanded by the parents&elders. It develops I am not OK but you are OK. People who still carry this Life position may suffer from inferiority complex. Social birth takes place when the kid goes to school and other places. The Next life position is I am not OK but you are also not OK. “My father says, Smoking is bad but he smokes.” My teacher asks me not to do things, but she does the same thing” The next life position is I am OK but you are not OK. This is a grave situation as people think that they are correct and others are not ok. Dictators and other psychopaths get into this status. The final complimentary position is I am OK and you are OK. Everyone should attain this stage of maturity. 6 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 CONFLICT Conflict can be either good or bad and it would be a little difficult to pin a definition for conflict. • Different combinations of these two dimensions can create conflict behaviors. – Competing behavior • – Accommodating behavior • – unassertive, uncooperative Collaborating behavior • – unassertive, cooperative Avoiding behavior • – assertive, uncooperative assertive, cooperative Compromising behavior • intermediate in both assertiveness and cooperativeness 7 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 Assertive Competing Uncooperative Collaborating Compromising Avoiding Cooperative Accommodating Unassertive 8 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com HIGH 99 40 22 55 44 They Win- U Lose Win-Win Collaborating YIELD Midway Compromise Satisfying others’ needs Lose-Win U Lose- They Lose Avoiding LOW Competing LOW HIGH Dr Stephen Covey is a management guru, whose book The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, became a blueprint for personal development when it was published in 1990. The seven habits are a remarkable set of inspirational standards for anyone who seeks to live a full, purposeful and good life. Covey's values are full of integrity and humanity, and contrast strongly with the colder logic- and process-based ideologies that characterized management thinking. HABIT 1 - BE PROACTIVE The ability to control one's environment, rather than have it control you, as is so often the case. Self determination, choice, & the power to decide response to stimulus, conditions & circumstances HABIT 2 - BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND Covey calls this the habit of personal leadership - leading oneself i.e. towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful. HABIT 3 - PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST Covey calls this the habit of personal management. This is about organising and implementing activities in line with the aims established in habit 2. Covey says that habit 2 is the first, or mental creation; habit 3 is the second, or physical creation. HABIT 4 - THINK WIN-WIN Covey calls this the habit of interpersonal leadership, necessary because achievements are largely dependent on cooperative efforts with others. He says that win-win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone, and that success follows a co-operative approach more naturally than the confrontation of win-or-lose. 9 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 HABIT 5 - SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND AND THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD One of the great maxims of the modern age. This is Covey's habit of communication, and it's extremely powerful. Covey helps to explain this in his simple analogy 'diagnose before you prescribe'. This is Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life. HABIT 6 - SYNERGIZE Covey says this is the habit of creative co-operation - the principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person's contribution. HABIT 7 - SHARPEN THE SAW This is the habit of self renewal, says Covey, and it necessarily surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Covey interprets the self into four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing. Stephen Covey's Seven Habits are a simple set of rules for life - inter-related and synergistic, and yet each one powerful and worthy of developing in its own right. For many people, reading Covey's work, or listening to him speak, literally changes their lives. This is powerful stuff indeed and highly recommended. 10 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 Body Language NONVERBAL BEHAVIOR INTERPRETATION Brisk, erect walk Confidence Standing with hands on hips Readiness, aggression Sitting with legs crossed, foot kicking slightly Boredom Sitting, legs apart Open, relaxed Arms crossed on chest Defensiveness Walking with hands in pockets, shoulders hunched Dejection Hand to cheek Evaluation, thinking Touching, slightly rubbing nose Rejection, doubt, lying Rubbing the eye Doubt, disbelief Hands clasped behind back Anger, frustration, apprehension Locked ankles Apprehension Head resting in hand, eyes downcast Boredom Rubbing hands Anticipation Sitting with hands clasped behind head, legs crossed Confidence, superiority Open palm Sincerity, openness, innocence Pinching bridge of nose, eyes closed Negative evaluation Tapping or drumming fingers Impatience Steepling fingers Authoritative Patting/fondling hair Lack of self-confidence; insecurity Tilted head Interest Stroking chin Trying to make a decision Looking down, face turned away Disbelief Biting nails Insecurity, nervousness Pulling or tugging at ear Indecision 11 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 12 99 40 22 55 44 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 13 99 40 22 55 44 Vaz alchlonist@gmail.com 99 40 22 55 44 Six thinking hats ( used for thinking, reasoning, problem solving, decision making) Dr Edward de Bono was born in Malta a degree in medicine, he proceeded as a Rhodes Scholar to Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained an honours degree in psychology and then a D.Phil. in medicine. He also holds a Ph.D. from Cambridge. He has had faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. Dr de Bono is regarded as the leading international authority in conceptual and creative thinking and in the teaching of thinking as a skill. He originated the term ‘lateral thinking’, which now has an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, and is well known for the deliberate creative techniques associated with it and for the powerful Six Thinking Hats method. His instruction has been sought by governments and by the foremost corporations throughout the world such as IBM, NTT (Japan), DuPont, Prudential, Shell, Eriksson, Ciba-Geigy, Ford and many others. Dr de Bono designed and runs the CoRT Thinking Programme, which is internationally the most widely used method for the teaching of thinking in schools and is in use in many countries around the world. He is the founder of the Cognitive Research Trust, and the International Creative Forum, which brings together many of the leading corporations of the world. He is the founder of SITO (Supranational Independent Thinking Organisation) which was set up as a sort of Red Cross to provide additional and creative thinking on problems and issues. He also set up the International Creativity Office in New York to help the UN member countries generate fresh ideas.
