Description

If someone asks you to go to dinner, what is your response?

• Sure. I will go if I can pick the restaurant.
• Sure. I will go and I will go to the restaurant you pick.
• Sure. I have no opinion on where we go. But I will complain if it isn't what I secretly wanted.
• Sure. We can go to the restaurant you pick this time and my choice next time.

Each of these responses represent a Communication Style. Do you know your Communication Style? Listen as Joseph and Paula address the 4 Styles to determine which you most frequently use.
