Talking Upfront and Straightforward With Alan Roger Currie

A little bit about Alan...

Currie developed his concept of "The Four Modes of Verbal Communication" in October 1990 and published his first pamphlet in 1998 entitled Mode One: Let Them Know What You're Really Thinking. In the 26 page pamphlet, he outlined general characteristics of each of his "Four Modes" of interpersonal communication styles with women:

• Mode One Behavior – Characterized as highly self-assured, upfront, unapologetic and straightforwardly honest
• Mode Two Behavior – Characterized as pleasant, polite, cautious and "beat-around-the-bush"
• Mode Three Behavior – Characterized as phony, cowardly, deceptive and fawning
• Mode Four Behavior – Characterized as resentful, vindictive, misogynistic and harshly critical

Currie converted his initial pamphlet into an eBook in 1999 and began selling it over the Internet.
