Study Notes
Understanding Personal Styles in Communication
- Effective communication starts with self-awareness. How you perceive yourself may differ from how others perceive you.
- Different personal styles exist in interactions:
- Type A: Straightforward, persuasive, firm convictions, focused on resolutions.
- Type B: Enthusiastic, optimistic, lively, inspiring to others.
- Type C: Analytical, rational, thorough, reserved with emotions.
- Type D: Reliable, patient, calm, thoughtful towards others.
Factors Influencing Communication Styles
- Personal styles are influenced by numerous factors, often subtle and not readily apparent.
- Perception plays a key role. Your unique life experiences and social circles shape your perception of situations and others.
- Unconsciously, perceptions can be communicated through: words, tone, body language (e.g., facial expressions).
- Word choice matters. Phrasing can be interpreted as problem-focused, barrier-oriented, or placing solution responsibility on the patient.
- These perceptions influence how others view you, impacting their perception of the interaction. This can either enhance or hinder effective communication.
Positive Communication & Customer Service
- Acknowledging patient concerns and offering solutions demonstrates good customer service.
- Team effort is crucial in problem resolution and providing effective customer service.
