Communication Ramifications

I have an “attitude of gratitude” for being the developer of the TALK2ME© system, which teaches you how to communicate effectively with opposing Empathizer or Instigator communicators. After all, there are communication ramifications for driving in a fog of ignorance. Do you understand the needs, wants, and language preferences of each type? Let’s find out….

WHAT AN EMPATHIZER WANTS

  • Respect of feelings and person; dignity
  • Validation and acknowledgement
  • Non-critical, non-judgmental feedback
  • Recognition, esteem, expressed appreciation
  • Non-threatening means of expressing
  • Forgiveness for past mistakes
  • A listening ear – to be heard
  • An opportunity to make a difference
  • To not hurt anyone’s feelings
  • To preserve the relationship at all costs

WHAT AN INSTIGATOR WANTS

  • Get down to business and get things done
  • Forget about feelings and focus on task
  • Stop wasting time and get to the point
  • Follow my lead; listen to me; do what I say
  • My way or the highway; be clear and direct
  • Don’t bore me with your details, feelings…
  • Stop taking things personally; get over it!
  • Get out of my way! I have a job to do!

Talk in the other communicators’ style of language, and they will hear you!

EMPATHY: THE PATH TO EMPATHY IS LISTENING TO AND USING THE LANGUAGE STYLE OF YOUR OPPOSING TALK TYPE

Are these questions or comments you have heard or perhaps thought?

  • People don’t listen….
  • You just don’t understand….
  • I’ve quit putting ideas out there.
  • Why are feelings always coming up and getting in the way?

…AND many more.

That’s where the TALK2ME© system comes in – it can help resolve the conflict points.
