Team Formation

• Individual/group task– Making person-to-person connections– Building the “ground of health” by discovering

each other’s “light”, strengths and wholeness.– Appreciative feedback– Delighted curiosity– Establish Norms

AACH American Academy on Communication in Healthcare ENRICH

2011

Team “Norms”– Listen respectfully to each other (even if you disagree)– Do not interrupt the speaker.– No more than one person speaks at a time– All ideas are welcome– If you disagree with someone, disagree w/their ideas, but don't attack the person.– Seek to understand the other– Confidentiality– Speak for yourself– No fixing– Assume positive intent– Share "air time"– Verbally communicate as much as you feel comfortable with (not share or die). – Other (to be determined by the group)

by an environment of trust. -How was an environment of trust

was present?

Team Communication Skills

Ask with open-ended inquiry

Goal Find the story not “the

answer” Search for meaning

(personal significance > facts)

AACH American Academy on Communication in Healthcare ENRICH

Ask with open-ended inquiry

AACH American Academy on Communication in Healthcare ENRICH

2011

Tasks Ask from a position of “not knowing”-

“What that was like for you….” Take a curious and interested stance:

“Help me understand……”“How did you feel then?”

“Why” questions less effective; provoke defenses

Listening

The Chinese symbol for listening includes two ears and two eyes, a line for undivided attention, and a heart. The ancient Chinese knew that listening is more than hearing words. It is a whole body experience. Some even refer to it as the sacred art of listening. Undivided attention is essential.

Reflections can clarify

Intention ≠ Impact

Reflective listening

• Often, our hypotheses are flawed:– Speaker may not say what s/he meant– Listener may hear it wrong, or interpret tone

incorrectly – Listener may misinterpret meaning

AACH American Academy on Communication in Healthcare ENRICH

2011

Reflective listening

• Reflection (“checking”)– Simple: “So you don’t feel appreciated in your job.”

– Double sided: “So on the one hand, you feel excited to have this new responsibility, and on the other, you’re nervous about whether you can meet the challenge.”

AACH American Academy on Communication in Healthcare ENRICH

2011

Multiple ways to reflect• Repeating or rephrasing – listener repeats or

substitutes synonyms or phrases; mirrors the speaker’s words

• Paraphrasing – listener restates what speaker said; the meaning is inferred

• Reflection of feeling – listener emphasizes emotional aspects of communication – deepest form of listening

Respond with empathy; use PEARLS

Partnership “We will figure how to get through this together.”

Empathy “Sounds like that was very frustrating for you.”

Appreciation/ Apology

“I appreciate your contribution.”

“I’m sorry you had to go through that.”

Respect “I give you a lot of credit for hanging in there.”

Legitimation “Anyone in your position would feel that way.”

Support “What can I do to support you?”
