Think back on an important conversation you had recently in which you wanted to achieve a particular result. (Examples:-asking your employer to change your work schedule;- explaining to a friend how to change the oil and filter in a car; -attempting to talk your spouse or partner into buying the computer you like rather than the one he or she prefers.) Work up a brief analysis of the conversation.

Example of purpose: Persuading your employer to alter your schedule. The message strategy is to emphasize how the change in schedule can increase productivity and satisfaction at work, while also addressing the concerns of the employer. Example: “I believe that shifting my schedule to start an hour later would allow me to be more focused and productive during the day, which will benefit the company in the long run. I understand that you have concerns about coverage during the early morning shift, and I am willing to work with you to find a solution that works for everyone.”

Example for question 2: Communication Channels: Face-to-face conversation. Positive outcome, the employer accepted to change the schedule. Explaination: A face-toface discussion allowed for an immediate and more persuasive approach.

Example: Internal factors may make it hard to communicate effectively and convey the message. This can result in missed opportunities or ineffective communication.

Example for question 4: Steps to Adjust to Feedback: Actively listening to the employer’s concerns, addressing them directly and finding a mutually beneficial solution. Actively listening and addressing any concerns can lead to a collaborative and productive discussion.

Examples for Strategic Changes It is possible to prepare for the conversation better and anticipate potential issues.
