Reflection On Communication And Communication

Communication isn’t just about talking. There are so many different elements to communicating in society. How a person gestures, the tone in an individual’s voice, an expression on a person’s face, how a person listens is all a part of communicating. As we all know, in order to communicate with one another we must be able to listen. I think in society people think that communication is all about speaking but in reality it is just a little piece to a bigger picture. In today’s society, listening seems to be a skill that is being neglected. Even though it is basically the first communication skill that we are exposed to, we have pushed it aside and chose speaking to dominate our lives. Researchers have discovered that fetuses can process incoming sounds during the last trimester of pregnancy, and that by 12 months children have learned sounds of and rules of their native language(Worthington, 3). This shows that children’s abilities to speak, read, write and reason are influenced highly by how well they are taught to listen. As parents we can all be teachers to our children so that they can grow up to be well-rounded communicators.

During my first quarter of running start, I took intro to sociology and I had a major midterm project. When we were aquatinted with our members I took initiative to make sure we could all communicate and work online to reduce the number of times we needed to meet so that the students who had trouble with transportation could carpool with members of our group who lived near the college. We decided to spend a few minutes after class on discussing the project and whilst doing so I could see that a particular member of our group, Alex would doubt her ability to work on the project. I made sure that she knew that having her in our group was crucial to successes and that I am open to helping her overcome her doubts. We had conversations about struggling

Interpersonal communication can be defined a number of ways, but it is usually described as communication between or among connected persons, or those in a close relationship. Over the past few weeks, I have really been able to examine my own interpersonal communication between and among the people I am connected to or have close relationships with. Prior to this course, I felt my interpersonal communication skills were above average and very effective. However, I have discovered there are many ways I can improve my interpersonal communications and relationships with others. Through the exercises conducted during this course I have realized that I need to work on my effective listening, perception of others and how my nonverbal cues can cause

In this essay, I intend to reflect on a situation I encountered during my first community placement I had the opportunity to develop my communication skills not just theoretically but also practically, facing a real life environment. My placement made me aware of the importance of interpersonal and communication skills which are very important in the delivery of care. Throughout my nursing career, I will be encouraged to develop reflective practice skills and become a reflective practitioner. Reflection refers to a series of steps that you may take to question and explore an experience with the aim of learning from it. I will discuss the importance of communication in order to maintain a therapeutic relationship.

Throughout this semester reading about different ways of interpersonal communication I came to the realization that there were many things I could work on to better myself as a person. Things I never thought about in depth until taking this class. Areas I have improved on throughout this semester are using I language more than the use of you language, what empathy was and how I choose to become better and lastly how I deal with conflict.

On Monday 23 May 2016, at approximately 1339hrs, I 6246 Leading Rate Joseph S was in my office at the Welfare/Housing department located at #31 St. Vincent Street Port of Spain. Present in the office at the time was Sgt Cassie R and L/Cpl Neptune. Whilst performing my daily duties in the office, I was about to use the telefax machine to make a copy of a document which is not an unusual function carried out by the members of the office. As I was about to do so, I was stopped by Sgt Cassie who said “yuh can’t copy nuttin they.” Being a bit confused about his uttered word I asked the question “why Sgt Cassie.” He then replied in a loud tone “don’t make no fucking copy LR.” I responded to the Sgt by saying “I am a grown woman bordering Petty

Since the start of this class, I have been reminded again and again that the concepts we are learning can be applied to everyday life. For instance, when we talked about non-verbal communication, I realized that it is impossible to not communicate. There are many activities, other than the use of language, that allow us to draw meaning from something we observe. When my mother widens her eyes at me without stating a word, I understand she is telling me to think twice about the action I’m about to take. It has been great to be able to assign concepts and vocabulary to interpersonal relationships and communication activity that I have been experiencing. Now let me introduce you to my friend Izzy and her boyfriend Ken as I analyze the

Upon receiving my special project, I took the opportunity to approach it as a new challenging task but with the commitment to make it a learning and teaching opportunity for myself. The main objective for this project was to enhance my knowledge and to adhere to what is one of my weaknesses, group presentations. I was provided with the assignment of three post conferences to be completed by the end of the semester. When delegating topics to present, I focused on the tentative schedule and selected one disease to present in each post conference. My selection was based on utilizing the time I had, as a benefit for both students and I to learn something that was involved in our curriculum. The topics I choose to discuss in my post conferences

This course on Interpersonal Communication has opened my eyes to the importance of effective communication as it relates to personal relationships. The information that I’ve learned has inspired me to take a deeper look into how I communicate with my husband. It also provides an understanding regarding the differences in how we communicate. The communication style that I use is expressive, the style he uses is instrumental. He also interprets communication different than myself. It’s apparent that our non-verbal communication skills are very different.

From my understanding, professional communication, whether electronically or in person refers to the various forms of responding, writing, speaking and effective listening carried out both in and beyond a workplace. To me, it is the practice of oral, written and interpersonal communication that is complete, accurate and understandable to its audience. Doing this takes research, analysis and the mastering of the three interrelation elements of organization, language and design and illustration. According to professor Lim, one of the main components of this course is to read and write critically, present summaries and arguments using research and analysis and convey thoughts and ideas in a consistent manner. I can confidently say I have accomplished this by taking HIS263. The essay component of this course has allowed me to critically review several historic and scholarly articles and evaluate and summarize the information presented. As well as, make inferences and collect key information from the article

Though technology has made it easier for communication across distance, I find that maintaining communication depends on one’s own dedication to stay in contact. Having lived in Massachusetts, Colorado, and lastly, Oklahoma, I have gained many friends across the country. I have unfortunately lost some of my friends’ contact information. Regardless, for the purposes of this project I chose to talk to two of my friends in Massachusetts.

In the three communications I’ve written, text,email,and letter to insurance company. All of them had a different approach. Each written text were different people and they all had different responses. The background of the text I wrote to my friend was, my best friend I had known for years and we text every single day. The background of my email I wrote to my dad was tolerant because I not as close to my dad but, also, I should share how’s my life is going to him. In the letter, I wrote to my insurance company, it was urgent because I needed to tell them something needed to be done. They all come together as one whole story told in a different perspective.

Communication is essential in all facets of an organization. It can aid in decision making, planning and conflict resolution. The ability to effectively communicate allows facilitation of relationships between superiors and subordinates; essentially this creates higher job satisfaction (Dogra, A., 2012). Open communication where employees have opportunity to voice their ideas and concerns, corelates to employees feeling a sense of value within the organization, which creates motivation (Dogra, A., 2012). Furthermore, in conjunction with these ideas, a sense of partnership and loyalty begin to develop between subordinates and superiors. The responses to this are typically seen in greater responsibility being given to the subordinate.
