Communication Style Self-Reflection Exercise
Purpose:
To build self-awareness around your personal communication style and develop strategies to enhance its effectiveness in different environments.
Steps in the Exercise:
- Define Your Style:
- On a blank sheet of paper, write your communication style at the top.
- Consider the environment (work, family, social) when defining your style (e.g., direct, reflective, gregarious).
- List Positives and Negatives:
- Draw a line down the middle of the page.
- On the left, list the strengths or benefits of your style—how others respond positively.
- On the right, list the drawbacks or challenges—how your style might be misinterpreted or cause discomfort.
- Identify Growth Areas:
- Choose 2–3 positives you want to enhance further.
- Choose 2–3 negatives you want to reduce or manage better.
- Action & Adjustment:
- Pick one specific trait to focus on for the week.
- Consider how you can improve that trait through observation, listening, asking more questions, or adapting to others’ responses.
- Repeat Weekly:
- Tweak one element each week—aim for small (1%) improvements.
- Over time, these changes lead to meaningful growth in communication skills.
Core Message:
Your style matters—but communication isn’t just about you. It’s about adapting and connecting meaningfully with others in your environment.
