Exercises
Take a day to jot down all of the negative things you say to yourself. This will help you
realize that you need to be nicer to yourself.
When you say negatives things to yourself, immediately replace it with something
positive.
Explain which component of the self-concept affects you the most and discuss how it
can be improved.
Communicating with oneself is called intrapersonal communication. This internal
conversation is an ongoing process that rarely stops.
Intrapersonal communication occurs when we are thinking, studying, writing, dreaming,
reading, listening, and so forth. What we say to ourselves on a daily basis is called self-
talk, which is directly correlated with how we view ourselves. This perception of
ourselves is called self-concept. Let us learn more about self-talk, self-concept, and
self-love.
It is important to understand that self-talk has a direct influence on interpersonal
communication. In this module, you will learn the importance of the messages you
speak to yourself and the impact they have on the way you communicate.
Example - Often waking up and getting out of bed on a Monday morning is challenging.
Sometimes it is difficult to get going and start another work or school week, and you
might say to yourself, “Just another manic Monday…I wish it were Sunday.” The tone
and substance of this intrapersonal conversation will affect subsequent conversations
one has that day with others at work or at school.
Types of Intrapersonal Communication
Self-Talk
Self-talk can be positive or negative. Self-talk
Influences your feelings, self-esteem, and stress level.
Shapes your internal attitudes, which influences your external attitudes and behavior.
Affects your self-concept and the love you feel for yourself.
When it comes to using self-talk to accomplish a goal, it helps to tell yourself that “I can
do it” and “I am smart.” Giving yourself positive messages can help create a desired
outcome.
When negative thoughts come into your mind, try replacing them with positive thoughts.
Going down a negative thought path will simply yield more negativity. Instead of saying,
“I hate mathematics,” say, “Mathematics is challenging for me.” While the former sounds
like you have given up, the latter sounds like you are still trying to do well in
mathematics.

Self-Concept
Self-concept is how you perceive yourself. Our self-concept is also formed through our
interactions with others and their reactions to us. Quite naturally, if you picture yourself
as a pleasant and engaging person, then others will see you in the same way. You will
carry yourself as if you are pleasing and attractive if that is how you see yourself.
Generally, others will perceive your positive demeanor and treat you in the same way.

The concept of the looking glass self explains that we see ourselves reflected in other
people’s reactions to us and then form our self-concept based on how we believe other
people see us (Cooley, 1902). This reflective process of building our self-concept is
based on what other people have actually said, such as “You’re a good listener,” and
other people’s actions, such as coming to you for advice. These thoughts evoke
emotional responses that feed into our self-concept.
For example, you may think, “I’m glad that people can count on me to listen to their
problems.”
We also develop our self-concept through comparisons to other people. Social
comparison theory states that we describe and evaluate ourselves in terms of how we
compare to other people. Social comparisons are based on two dimensions:
superiority/inferiority and similarity/difference (Hargie, 2011). In terms of superiority and
inferiority, we evaluate characteristics like attractiveness, intelligence, athletic ability,
and so on.
For example, you may judge yourself to be more intelligent than your brother or less
athletic than your best friend, and these judgments are incorporated into your self-
concept.
This process of comparison and evaluation isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can have
negative consequences if our reference group isn’t appropriate. Reference groups are
the groups we use for social comparison, and they typically change based on what we
are evaluating. In terms of athletic ability, many people choose unreasonable reference
groups with which to engage in social comparison.
If a man wants to get into better shape and starts an exercise routine, he may be
discouraged by his difficulty keeping up with the aerobics instructor or running partner
and judge himself as inferior, which could negatively affect his self-concept.
Using as a reference group people who have only recently started a fitness program but
have shown progress could help maintain a more accurate and hopefully positive self-
concept.
Example - It is important to understand that self-concept is situational.
For example, you may be good at English and get lots of A’s but not as well with
mathematics. Therefore, you may not be as confident in your mathematics class as you
are in your English class. Your self-concept will change based on the situation you find
yourself in.
Most people do not have complete confidence in every situation.
Cultivating a positive self-concept typically involves
Sometimes “tooting your own horn"
Creating a positive scenario, so that positive actions may occur
Attacking negative self-thoughts and beliefs (as soon as they come).
Being careful of social comparisons
What we tell ourselves is what we begin to believe about ourselves. If we repeat
positive statements to ourselves, then our outlook will be positive. On the other hand,
negative thinking will lead to a negative outlook.

Communicating Organizational Direction Internally
When carried out internally, organizational communication is the process of relaying
your firm’s direction to your team.
Whether you’re the CEO or a new manager, you must be adept at communicating
direction to ensure your team members are aligned and motivated.
When communicating direction, you should be:
Clear: Will people understand the direction?
Compelling: Will people be motivated by and care about the direction?
Concise: Is the direction succinct enough to be easily internalized?
One challenge of leading at scale is that you likely won’t be able to speak to each
employee directly—which is why effective communication is critical.
“Leading at scale and scope requires you to treat communication as a tool to reach out
to people, captivate heads, and move hearts, so those you’re leading understand your
actions and goals,” Margolis says in Organizational Leadership. “And, perhaps more
importantly, so they understand where they fit and why their work matters.”
Here are the five dimensions of communicating organizational direction outlined in
Organizational Leadership to help you become a more effective leader.
THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF COMMUNICATING DIRECTION
1. Know Your Audience
To communicate effectively, you must first define your audience. For example, how you
speak to other managers may differ from how you speak to your entire organization and
stakeholders.
Consider your audience’s perspective, how much they already know about your
organization’s direction, what factors matter most to them, and any questions or
concerns they may have.
2. Cater the Content
Once you’ve determined your audience and understand what’s important to them, cater
your communication’s content to fit that.
For example, imagine you’re trying to communicate that your company is entering a
new market. When letting stakeholders know about this direction, you may prioritize the
financial reasoning behind the decision and the goals you expect your firm to reach.
When communicating the same information to your employees, however, you may
emphasize how the change will impact their daily work and how each person’s tasks will
help the organization reach new goals.
Catering your communication to each audience shows you care about them and
understand what they value and need to succeed.
3. Align on Purpose
The next dimension seems intuitive but can be overlooked: Ensure you know the
communication’s purpose for each audience. To do so, ask yourself: What do I hope to
achieve by communicating this content to this group of people?
“Are you seeking to inform, solicit input, gain approval, galvanize action, or some
combination of these?” Margolis asks in Organizational Leadership.
Remember that the purpose may differ between audiences; for instance, gaining input
and approval from shareholders versus informing and motivating employees.
INTERCULTURAL CUMMUNICATION
The capacity to communicate with people from diverse cultures is referred to as
intercultural communication. Interacting effectively across cultural lines requires
perseverance and sensitivity to one another's differences. This encompasses language
skills, customs, and ways of thinking, social norms, and habits.
What is intercultural communication and examples?
The definition of intercultural communication includes both verbal and nonverbal forms
of communication. For example, an American businessperson may practice intercultural
communications with a peer in Bangladesh, accounting for both spoken words and body
language expressed by both parties in the social exchange.
