Coons, who is currently an operations officer in IHCs Salt ' Lake region, will transition into his new role in Utah County during the next two weeks. . According to Larry Dursteler, regional vice president, presi-dent, there has been a need for someone in this slot since Dursteler accepted the vice presidential position some 15 months ago. Candidates were interviewed last fall, but there were some timing issues that needed to be worked through before a final selection could be made. "I am delighted that Chris Coons will be returning to Utah County. He was an assistant administrator here for a number of years before taking his current cur-rent assignment in Salt Lake four and a half years ago," Dursteler said. "Chris is a leader with a lot of energy, a passion for quality, and genuine concern for those with whom he works. "In my new regional role, I an. needing to spend a lot of my time in Salt Lake, working with staff at the central office, coordinating coordinat-ing efforts with the other regions. IHC executives, the governing boards, and members of our local Leadership Council have all suggested that we needed this additional leader here. We had hoped to fill this slot some months ago, but a variety of timing issues caused us to hold until now," Dursteler said. Coons will be officed in the administrative area at UVRMC. Dursteler will temporarily relocate relo-cate his office to a vacant office in Physician's Plaza until new , regional offices are completed in the Northwest (Granite) building build-ing on the UVRMC campus.

I look forward to getting get-ting reacquainted with the people and the issues in this region. The next few years are pivotal ones of the Urban South Region; and I'm excited to be part of that," Coons said. .

Tom has provided He continues to jr V fALIlhit AND"vS0jI Funeral Home Distracting body language detracts from your message If you rattle the change in your pocket, stroke your beard or twist your necklace when talking to someone, your verbal message is muffled by your fidgeting and fussing. That's what image and communication consultant Lisa Ford told nearly 300 customer service and marketing professionals' at a recent Partners in Business seminar at Utah State University. Univer-sity. " "Body language is 55 percent of the message," Ford said. If we are playing with facial hair, twisting the hair on our heads or ; flipping our jewelry, people are distracted by how we're saying things. They're overwhelmed by the how and don't hear the. what of our message." Ford, creator of the videotape series, "How to Give Exceptional Customer Service", contends that stance, facial expression, ex-pression, and tone of voice determine deter-mine if we are perceived as powerful and credible by others. "Women, especially, often present themselves in what I call the little girl' stance," she said. "They hold their bodies in a very small space by slouching, crossing their legs, and holding their hands behind them. What they don't realize is that the more space you take up, the more power and credibility you have' Ford says men are better at "taking up space". She suggests sitting with your arms resting on arms of a chair or around on the back of an adjacent chair. When standing, don't cross your arms. Position feet slightly apart; possibly place one hand on a hip with the thumb turned out "People don't trust people who don't show their hands," she said. "That's really the origin of the handshake people extended ex-tended hands to show they weren't holding weapons, she added. . ... . t ft : V J . f- ' fcp8p V'-).'"

She cited former president Jimmy Carter as one whose constant smiling robbed him of his credibility. Tone of voice can be a real turn-off to listeners as well, but the problems are usually gender specific, Ford said. Women tend to talk in a singsong voice which . gets higher as they get nervous. On the other hand, men often talk in a monotone to sound serious. She pointed to Vice President Al Gore whose trademark monotone delivery finally seems to be improving after boring listeners for years. Both men and women are guilty of using words that belittle the listener. ! "Words like 'obviously', 'of course', and 'naturally', are real putdowns," Ford said. "They make the speaker come off as abrasive and arrogant. Also, urn's and ers are great distractions distrac-tions to the listener. Taping your presentations and conversations conver-sations is one of the best strategies for identifying tone and delivery problems." Listening well is just as important im-portant as being a powerful and credible speaker, Ford said. "There is a great difference between active listening and just waiting for an opportunity to talk. Good listeners are attentive at-tentive and act as mirrors to the speaker. They can restate the content or the emotions contained con-tained in the message without just repeating the words they heard." Ford suggests matching the other person's tone of voice, rate of speech and type of verb choices to build rapport and to make others feel as though they count and are respected. s-i x r r - mm-x. |
