SOLUTION SAMPLE ( GENERAL )
People frequently find themselves in difficult situations with others in professional and academic settings. When this occurs, it is normal for people to return to the “Defensive” or “Avoidant” chair, especially if they are afraid or unsure of themselves. However, reliance on these communication approaches may limit their ability to effectively achieve their aims.
It is far better to use the “Collaborative” or “Curiosity” chair…………………
instead. These communication styles emphasize active listening and openness, which can promote fruitful dialogues and innovative problem-solving. Furthermore, the Curiosity chair promotes asking questions and seeking to understand the viewpoints of others, which leads to deeper insights and better solutions.
Individuals can make this adjustment by practising active listening, asking open-ended inquiries, and increasing their self-confidence. Reflecting on their communication practices and identifying the circumstances that drive them to retreat to the Defensive or Avoidant chair can also be beneficial. Individuals can attain their professional and academic goals more effectively with a little self-awareness and proactive communication.
