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?
When my mom talks to other people, she listens to them intently and doesn't interrupt them when they are talking. She always talked in a calm voice.I would copy her ways of communication, she was calm and showed interest in what they people were saying.
I think it is important to listen intentionally to others when they are talking. I must admit I am a horrible communicator. This class couldn't have came at a better time. When I am communicating with someone especially during a disagreement, I am often thinking of what I am going to say next verse intentionally listening to the person I am communicating with.
