Behaviors Connection: Moderating Loudness

"The Bellower"

Learning to moderate loudness and improve cooperation from others in the process

Let's begin by reviewing the actual "Scenario" that drew you to this course. It's a description of what we'll call your "self-defeating pattern." Despite many attempts to temper your style of interacting with others, and even though people have told you that you’re too loud, you persist in the behavior. As wild as that seems, the idea that people will keep repeating something they know is working against them is not unusual. In fact, everyone does it or has done it. Here’s another look at the problem:

People never have to ask you to repeat yourself, because you make sure they hear you the first time. Nobody ever accuses you of mumbling, that’s for sure. You like to show your confidence and exuberance, and you see the lack of same as a weakness in others. It doesn't make sense for you to be quieter- what's the advantage? Some people describe you as a"an intense person." You enjoy the fact that others notice you, and you take this as a sign of respect. You see that you are strong and forceful in the delivery of your message. You usually don't mean anything by your tone or manner, and it puzzles you that people would find your high volume offensive.

It's not personal as far as you're concerned. Too often, however, others get the wrong idea about you. They sometimes see you as pushy, aggressive, and overly loud. They think you may have a tendency to ignore their need to talk with or hear others. Some have grown intimidated and don't speak to you as readily, while others have become more aggressive and pushy with you. The result is the team isn't functioning the way you meant for it to. Your efforts are actually backfiring.

It's enough to make you squirm a bit, but that's only because it rings true. The good news is you're about to learn how to make some serious changes in that pattern and to make those changes last.

This self-improvement process is exactly the same process you would go through in professional treatment, but you do it yourself (or with a friend) at a much lower cost. The  course consists of a guidance document you read as you work through the underlying issues of your problem.
