Introduction: Communication Change Challenge (CCC) Part 7 In Part 7, you will finally try out your new communication behaviors in both planned and unplanned situations.

 

Part 7 requires up to a 2-week window of time to complete because it requires you to implement your new behaviors and to observe, record, and analyze the impact. As a result, this part was assigned during Week 6, so you need to use all conversations from Week 6 and Week 7.

 

For Part 7 of the project, you will do the following:

Instructions Include the following items in Part 7 of your report:

7A. Planning Create a list of at least 3 specific planned situations in which you will implement your new behaviors over a time span of 2 weeks, from Week 6 and Week 7. Note: You should also implement your new behaviors in any unplanned situations when you have the opportunity to do so.

7B. Evaluation of Planned Conversations Evaluate your performance each time you attempt your new behavior in new planned situations. As you proceed with this phase of the project, be prepared for potential problems.

In any case, remain flexible and keep working. If necessary, revise your goal statement, change your target

3 Establishing behavioral goals: What will it look like when I am doing it well? Week 3

4 Analyzing the goal Week 4

5 Covert Rehearsal: Practicing in your imagination Week 5

6 Behavioral Rehearsal: Practicing your new behavior Week 5

7 Actual Implementation: Performing your behavior in real-life situations Week 7

8 Evaluating your progress Week 8

7A1. 1st planned conversation 7A2. 2nd planned conversation 7A3. 3rd planned conversation

You may reach periodic plateaus in which you are not changing as dramatically as you would like. You may discover that your goal statement is not accurate and that you were trying to increase the wrong behaviors. You may also find that by merely monitoring the frequency of your goal behavior, your problem disappears.
