Introduction: Communication Change
If there was one interpersonal communication pattern you could change, what would it be? In this week’s assignment, you will personalize the process listed below:
· identifying a communication problem (What communication issue do you struggle with?)
· formulating a goal (How do you want to change that communication issue?)
· establishing a plan (What steps would you take to reach this goal?)
· using a test of measurability (What test would you put in place?)
The lesson illustrated this process for you, and now it is your turn. Do you need some ideas to get you started? You can select from the list below or choose one that is not on the list.
