For
your blog this week, think of someone (e.g., family member, celebrity,
politician, friend, or professor) who demonstrates competent
communication within a particular context. What behaviors does this
person exhibit that make him or her effective? Would you want to model
some of your own communication behaviors after this person? Why or why
not?
I would have to chose my mother for this weeks blog. The reason why I would chose her is because she is a women who has shown me what it means to live life as a true christian. She is humble, loving, helping, meek, and all the things that Christ requires us to be. Sure she makes mistakes, but I can honestly say I have seen her love her enemies in spite of what they have done to her, help those who have persecuted her and help those who are in need. So I would love to model her meek spirit in communicating with others. I realize that I have a strong tone and sometimes that tone is taken out of context and it is also seen as intimidating, but I do not mean for it to be.
Laketha,
ReplyDeleteIt must amazing to have such a great role model. I believe sometimes when communicating we focus more on what we are saying rather than the tone we are using when we are saying it. I think it is great that you have noticed this and plan to make adjustments for the better.
Good Luck in your future

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think that is so sweet of you to use your mother as your communicator example. She sounds like a really nice and wonderful lady. I completely understand about the strong tone in your voice being mistaken, that happens to me all the time. Thanks for sharing again!
