In this week’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss four different communication styles: Aggressive, Passive, Passive-Aggressive and Assertive. They begin by explaining the differences between being Assertive and being Aggressive because they can sometimes be mistaken for each other. When someone is using Assertive communication, they clearly state their opinions and feelings and firmly advocate for their rights and needs without violating the rights of others. They are respectful of the rights of others. Aggressive communication, on the other hand, does not. An Aggressive communication style is a style of communicating in which individuals express their feelings and opinions and advocate for their needs in a way that violates the rights of others. An Aggressive communicator goes one up. They make others feel small. Jamie and Guy round out the conversation by discussing the other two communication styles - Passive and Passive-Aggressive - and how these are also not optimal. Everyone tends to gravitate toward one style more than another, but they agreed that the Assertive communication style is really "where you want to land" and with increased awareness and practice anyone can become more assertive in their communication 💛
