Episode 16 – Communication Styles and Personalities
EPISODE SUMMARY: We are all different, we all communicate different, which could be based on our personality, job position, role in a group or organisation or it may even depend on a situation we may be in.The four different Communication Styles or Personalities presented in this episode of “Exploring Brain and Mind” are based on Tony Alessandra’s work I his book “The Platinum Rule”. The episode first introduces each of those four Communication Styles, before exploring how each of the four Communicators would like to be treated and how each of them can adapt their way of communicating to the other personalities.

Episode 15 – Communication Basics – It’s More Than Words
EPISODE SUMMARY: Communication is far more complex than just using words to express yourself or to deliver a message. And it is even more complex than what is presented in this episode.However, I wanted to bring across some of the important basics of communication, especially explaining a bit more about the three key elements – words, voice and body language – and some of the impact of each on communication.There are references to the use of each element to different situations as well as the importance to recognise cultural differences in how people communicate in other parts of the world.And the latter part looks at how someone’s communication may come across to others – which could depend either on mood or emotional state or even a person’s personality or the situation they are in.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Introduction: Communication is more than just wordsThe three key elements of communicationWords – What are you saying?· Jargon or plain language, when is it useful· Presentations and talks· Use positive framing · The impact or words – words carry meaning· Examples to spot differences· Include words that reflect different learning styles· Tip: Choose words that match the purposeThe Voice – How do you say it?· Attributes of the voice in communication· How you use your voice influences· the delivery of your message and· how it is received by the audience· Tiip: Recording exercise to practice vocal delivery· The power of pausing· Tips for speaking to people on the phone· Tips for public talks and presentations· Tips for reading stories to children· Tips for factual presentations· Your mood may affect your vocal deliveryBody Language – Your Non-Verbal Communication· What does body language consist of?· Facial Expressions· Gestures and Posture · Eye Contact· Cultural differences in Communication· Mismatches of non-verbal communication with voice and words· Communication pitfalls Match your communication with the situation and purposeHow your communication may come across· Passive communication· Aggressive communication· Passive-Aggressive Communication· Assertive CommunicationConclusionFURTHER INFORMATION AND LINKS:To find out more about Mastering Your Mind Matters and its range of services, please visit www.masteringyourmindmatters.com.To find out more about the host you can follow Elke Wallace on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elke-a-wallaceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElkeWallaceBusinessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/elkeawallaceTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@e.a.wallace?lang=enSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/exploring-brain-and-mind/exclusive-content
