    Effective communication can be described as a two way process, where each person takes responsibility for their actions. The study guide (n.d p.3) states that “Effective communication is important as a starting point for any relationship….and that no relationship can start without verbal communication.” This suggests that this process is a basic foundation towards verbally engaging with one another and is a key attribute towards developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. The active principles involved in effective communication can be identified as engaging, listening and understanding, interpreting and questioning, responding and respecting.…

    When given the assignment to complete the Communication Style Assessment to identify my preferred communication style, I was not sure what to expect. It revealed that my style was reflective, but not by a large margin over the supportive style. Following close behind this was the emotive style, and the least preferred style was directive. It made sense from the standpoint that I use different styles based on the situation or circumstances, but my preferred style is reflective. The assessment caused me to reflect on what could I learn from it, and how could I use this new information to improve my self-esteem.…

    Interpersonal communication is the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. It is a person-to-person contact, it includes everyday exchange that may be formal or informal and can take place anywhere by means of words, sounds, facial expression, gestures and postures. Two significant learning points for me during this course was in module 3, using the I-language instead of you-language which gives power over our thoughts, feelings and emotions to others. To take responsibility for your own feelings, rely on I language rather than you language. I language owns thoughts and feelings and does not blame them on others (Wood 125).…

    You are in class one day when the teacher announces a new assignment: students are to research and give an informative speech about any topic of their choosing. As the student, imagine that you are terrified to not only present the speech in front of your entire class, but to have to go through the process of picking a topic, researching it, organizing your speech, and practicing it as well. At the beginning of my communication class, this was how I felt about producing and giving speeches. I was nervous to talk in front of the class because I have always been very shy and have suffered from extreme speech apprehension. I also dreaded picking a topic and organizing my speeches as well, since I could never make up my mind and I was never good…

Consider both verbal and nonverbal components of assertive communication.

    Based on my daily life, and depending on the specific role I play, I choose to be passive, assertive and aggressive. In reference to session 8 "Effective Communication", using a scenario, I view a passive individual to believe "You are okay, I'm not", an assertive individual to believe "I'm okay, you are okay", while an aggressive individual believes "I'm okay, and you are not". I believe all three communication styles are influence by our surroundings and how comfortable an individual is with the people around him or her.…

For instance, communication has a huge role to play in the workplace as managers try to get the best out of employees. As managers soar to top management positions and roles change, many fail to upgrade communication skills. Personally, it is a place of isolation.…

    Non-verbal Communication is one skill that I feel I need to improve upon. “Non-verbal communication is defined as messages expressed by non-linguistic means (Ronald B. Adler, 2014, p. 188).” I believe that this is a skill I need to improve upon because missing subtle bits of information used in non-verbal communication can affect the meaning behind it. I am going to look more into who, what, what, when, where, why and how non-verbal communication. Then looking at ways to improve using this skill and how it will be applied in the future.…
