What kind of Communicator am I?
This
assignment was a little hard for me because I couldn’t get my results to come
up, so I could read them. After talking to my best friend and my aunt, I found
similarities between how I scored myself and how my best friend scored me. He
said that I communicate very well with others, and I am an excellent listener.
He also said, I don’t like talking in public, but I will if I have to. My aunt
and I, on the other hand, had some differences between how I evaluated myself
and how she evaluated me. She said her evaluation was based off of my
involvement with my family. She said although I can communicate well within the
family; I don’t always do so. She said if I would just voice my opinions more
often than our family meetings will be less stressful for me at times. The
thing that surprised me the most is how my aunt evaluated me because I thought
I would have scored higher. I see now that isn’t always true because most
people do communicate differently when they are with family than they do with
their friends, colleagues, co-workers, etc. I also see that I have to voice my
opinions more when I am around my family because my voice should be heard when
the situation affects me. Although, this assignment was a rough for me because
I didn’t get a chance to read my results, I stilled learned that people do see
you differently then you see yourself. I’m glad I let my aunt do the survey
because she has helped me to see something that I never noticed in myself.
Hopefully, what I have learned this week will help me become a better
communicator within my family and profession.

Erica,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post, because it is very much a reflection of Today and how people act. I have been on both sides of the situation and I know its tough, but I commend you for being the bigger person and backtracking down the path to help workout the conflict, rather than conforming to it, and allowing a good friendship to be lost over a "bar of soap", which could be replaced easily.
Great Post
Thank you, I feel a whole lot better now that I did go back and resolve that conflict with her.
