● It is a well-planned series of actions aimed at
achieving certain objectives through the use of
communication methods, techniques and
approaches.
INFLUENCE
TURN-TAKING
It pertains to the order by which
people who engage in a
conversation speak.
● “Let me finish!”
● “I’m not yet finished!”
TOPIC CONTROL
It is the strategy that limits the coverage of a
discussion or conversation to things that are
acceptable to the people involved in the
communication process.
● This might not be the best venue for
such a discussion…
● Perhaps that is an issue for another
discussion…
● Let’s not talk about that right now…
● Maybe we should reserve that topic
for another time…
● This is not the right time to talk
about that.
TOPIC SHIFTING
● It is the strategy that requires listening
intently to the person or people you are
conserving with.
● It applies when you want a more
interesting or more pleasant topic to talk
about instead.
● “Well, in other new…”
● “By the way…”
● “Since you mentioned that…”
● “I know this is off-topic, but I
have to ask/ say…”
● “Before I forget.”
REPAIR
● It is the communication strategy for recouping
lost rapport between or among communicators
in a conversation.
