Introduction
WELCOME to the ELEVENTH Show of Season 5!

AS USUAL, I am really excited for today’s show – Why? Because today I will AGAIN be talking about YOU! Yes, YOU! The Good YOU, The Amazing YOU, the Incredible YOU, and a bit of the BAD YOU!

Assertiveness and self-confidence are comprised of important interpersonal communications skills and traits that can be learned and practiced. 

IN TODAY’S SHOW, We will provide you with many tips, techniques, and opportunities to try out your own skills.

THE MINDSET EQUATION II

SEGMENT 1 – What does SELF-CONFIDENCE mean to you?
Self confidence plays an important role in our everyday lives. Being confident allows us to set and reach our goals. It provides stability when we are faced with a challenge; it gives us that push that helps us overcome difficulties. Self confidence is necessary in our personal and professional lives, as without it one would not be successful in either. It gives us the ability to stand up to face our challenges and to pick ourselves up when we fall.

SEGMENT TWO – Obstacles to Our Goals

Obstacles are encountered every day of our lives, but what we do and how we react during these events will determine the outcomes of such events. Our reactions to these obstacles will determine if the situation becomes a minor annoyance to a major event. Over reacting to a small annoyance can magnify the issue and make larger than it actually is. These are the types of reactions that should be kept in check, what is an appropriate response to each obstacle that we encounter? Like many things the obstacle will determine the response. 

Types of Negative Thinking

• Overgeneralization
• Polarized thinking
• Self-blame
• Personalization
• Emotional reasoning

Negative thinking is the process of thinking negative rather than positive thoughts. Seemingly, positive thinking requires effort while negative thinking is uninvited and happens easily. 

A person who has been brought up in a happy and positive atmosphere, where people value success and self-improvement will have a much easier time thinking positively. One who was brought up in a poor or difficult situation will probably continue to expect difficulties and failure.

Negative thoughts center on the individual, others, and the future. Negative thinking causes problems such as depression, pessimism, and anxiety. Typical types of negative thinking are described below.

SEGMENT THREE – Communication Skills
Strong communication skills are essential for assertive interaction with others. Humans are social animals and communication is a very important part of our daily lives.

Listening and Hearing:  They Aren’t the Same Thing

Hearing is the act of perceiving sound by the ear. Assuming an individual is not hearing-impaired, hearing simply happens. Listening, however, is something that one consciously chooses to do. Listening requires concentration so that the brain processes meaning from words and sentences. 

Listening leads to learning, but this is not always an easy task. The normal adult rate of speech is 100-150 words per minute, but the brain can think at a rate of 400-500 words per minute, leaving extra time for daydreaming, or anticipating the speaker’s or the recipient’s next words.

As opposed to hearing, listening skills can be learned and refined. The art of active listening allows you to fully receive a message from another person. Especially in a situation involving anger or a tense interchange, active listening allows you to be sensitive to the multiple dimensions of communication that make up an entire message. 

These dimensions include:

• The occasion for the message: What is the reason why the person is communicating with me now?
• The length of the message: What can the length of the message tell me about its importance?
• The words chosen: Is the message being made formally? Is it with aloofness or slang?
• The volume and pace: What clues do the loudness and speed give me?
• The Pauses and Hesitations: How do these enhance or detract from the message?
• Non-verbal clues: What does eye contact, posture, or facial expressions tell me about the message?

Empathy is the capability to share and understand another's emotions and feelings. Empathetic listening is the art of seeking a truer understanding of how others are feeling. This requires excellent discrimination and close attention to the nuances of emotional signals. 

According to Stephen Covey in “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”, empathetic listening involves five basic tasks:

• Repeat verbatim the content of the communication; the words, not the feelings
• Rephrase content; summarize the meaning of the words in your own words
• Reflect feelings; look more deeply and begin to capture feelings in your own words. Look beyond words for body language and tone to indicate feelings.
• Rephrase contents and reflect feelings; express both their words and feelings in your own words.
• Discern when empathy is not necessary – or appropriate.

SEGMENT FOUR – The Importance of Goal Setting


A strong self-concept depends both upon what you do, and your idea of yourself. Goal setting is the process that allows you to analyze and determine what you do. 

Goal setting helps you feel strong and in control. Goal setting drives us and gives us a measure for our successes.

 Setting goals provides an incentive and helps to push us into completing the goals we set. 

Why Goal Setting is Important?

The process of setting goals helps to provide a clear picture of your wants and needs so you can chart your own life destiny. To get a clear picture of your wants and needs, consider eight types of goals.


To begin building and qualifying your list of goals, answer four key questions that serve as triggers.
 
 
Now classify the goals according to potential timing: long-range, medium-range, and immediate. 

Examples:

• Long-Range Goals

Explore a telecommuting option

• Medium-Range Goals

Plan a national park vacation

• Immediate

Get a kitten
