Study Notes
The DEAR MAN Skill for Meeting Objectives in Conversations
- The DEAR MAN skill is a structure for asking for wants or needs, saying no, resolving conflict, and getting people to take your opinion seriously in conversations with others.
- Following the DEAR MAN structure significantly increases the likelihood of getting needs met in a given situation.
- The DEAR MAN structure has five parts: Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, and Mindfulness.
- The Describe part orients the other person to the facts of the situation to find agreement.
- The Express part emphasizes feelings and opinions about a given situation.
- The Assert part makes a specific and clear-cut statement or a firm "no" to avoid miscommunication.
- The Reinforce part highlights positive or negative outcomes of listening to or respecting the decision made.
- The Broken Record technique is used to repeat the same point until it is driven home.
- Appearing confident, making eye contact, and having a confident body language convey self-respect and increase the likelihood of getting needs met.
- Negotiation is essential and the skill of turning the tables can be used to offer alternatives and ask the other person to come up with different ideas.
- Being mindful means ignoring efforts to divert attention away from the goal, such as threats, insults, or attacks.
- Practicing the DEAR MAN skill is essential to assertive communication, which is the foundation for piling other skills on top.
