The icEdge assessment

The icEdge assessment and self-reflection exercise is designed to help you become more aware of and better understand how you communicate with others. In this workbook, you will focus on your individual results (you will have a chance to reflect on your group compassion results in another exercise). Before diving into the workbook, please consider the following: 1. You will reflect on the four main characteristics of your communication style:  Message – the way you use and interpret subtle (vs. literal) meaning and emotion in communication  Sensory – refers to the way you attend to and communicate through the physical, auditory, and vocal space shared with your counterpart.  Time management – refers to the way you attend to and manage time, i.e. focusing more on clock time or allowing events to unfold naturally.  Relationship – refers to the way you adjust communication to your counterpart’s status and relationship with you. 2. Please plan to spend some quality time responding to the questions in this workbook. The more effort you put into self-reflecting and understanding yourself, the more you will get out of this activity
