Communication - Quick Overview 02

Back to Table of Contents

This section is both descriptive and has developmental suggestions for communicating with those you care about.

Communication in Relationships

Beth typically strives to be precise in her communication. She tends to take pride in her command of language, whether it's clever wordplay or finding just the right phrasing to clinch an argument. Sometimes Beth may be so eager to deliver the truth as she sees it that she doesn’t take the time to imagine how her message will be received, perhaps leaving others feeling diminished or dismissed instead of helped.

Communication Energizer

Having the opportunity to talk through issues impartially

Communication Stressor

Others taking things personally or seeing a difference of opinion as criticism

Communication Quick Tip

Before giving advice or pointing out problems, make sure that the other person is open to your input
