A person that I know that
demonstrates competent communication within a particular context is my friend
Stacey. The reason I chose Stacey is because
she is always able to efficiently communicate with everybody in a suitable manner,
because she always shows the person respect.
She makes certain that the person that she is communicating with
understands the message that she is trying to express. Stacey is clear and to the point in which she
makes clear her message and she uses a proper tone of voice. Stacey seems to
know which communication to use for each situation which is something that I would
like to learn from her. 
The reason I would
like to learn how to be an efficient communicator like Stacey is because I can
see the good that comes out of it. When you can effectively listen to what you
have to say because they know that you are not just carrying on about anything
but you really do know your stuff. In the early childhood field effective
communication is the key when working to get grants and talking with parents
and other people you work with.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI think your friend Stacey hit on the key to effective communication--tailoring one's demeanor, attention, and comments to the environment and situation at-hand. An example of the opposite behavior I've experienced is being at party's where some individual's, either purposefully or out of unawareness, insist on using their "office" voice and demeanor, or continue to talk shop even in this obviously informal and fun setting. I think picking up on social cues and situational awareness are two key components to effective communication--some get it, some do not.

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you stated In the early childhood field effective communication is the key when working to get grants and talking with parents and other people you work with. Also an effective communicator can have a person open up to express their feelings or built trust to receive good advice.
Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteI also believe that respect is the biggest aspect of effective communication. Maybe your friend can also give me some pointers about using the right way of communication depending on the situation. I know that I am very passionate and may need to choose my tone wisely so I can be much more effective with everyone, not just children.
