Speaker/Listener Technique• Rules for Speaker
– Speak for yourself, don’t mind read– Keep statements brief, don’t go on and on– Stop to let others paraphrase
• Rules for the Listener– Paraphrase what you hear– Focus on speaker’s message. Don’t rebut
• Rules for Both– Speaker has the floor, keeps until
understood– Share the Floor

Time Out

PRE-DEPLOYMENT MARRIAGE TRAININGPRE-DEPLOYMENT MARRIAGE TRAINING
Not a good time...We can bring up issues at any time, but the “listener” can say “this is not a good time.”
If the listener does not want to talk at that time, he or she takes responsibility for setting up a time to talk in the near future.
