As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Gain experience with different verbal and nonverbal styles of communication. 2. Practice describing communication behaviors objectively. 3. Discuss subjective responses to a range of communication behaviors that may be different from one's own. 4. Begin to identify how communication styles support values" (Stringer & Cassiday, 2003, p. 91).
