Communication is imperative for human survival, either for physical needs or mental health requirements. Some people require more stimuli than others; some people are more communicative than others. I noticed, I began my day on a negative note; my attitude was not the best that could have been. This sole reason affected my work ethics, the tone of voice I communicated with, and how much I would be communicating that day. Weather it was a simple eye rolls, shake of the head, or a quick text, I communicated. Through the day, our business was low, we didn’t get many calls, nor did we have a box full or emails. We didn’t have many customers through the day, which meant that I would be communicating less with customers or my coworkers. I personally,
Throughout our whole lives, we spend the majority of our time communicating in some way or form. Many people in today’s society are uninformed of all the key concepts and importance of communication, such as interpersonal communication. One major concept in the field of communication is Interpersonal Communication. Many concepts of Communication can be demonstrated in everyday life or even in our favorite movies. This analysis is from the movie, “Blind Side”. There are many concepts of Interpersonal Communication included in this film. Self Concept, Self Esteem, Stereotype, Perception, and Stages of Relationship are just a few concepts that are utilized throughout this movie.
Improved communication at the workplace is about more than just substituting information; it's also about being aware of the feelings behind the information involved in the firm. This is so as improved communication can advance

Without it, chances are, a relationship will fail.
Throughout the semester my partner and I have learned more about each other such as our history and our plans for the future. We have also discovered how each of us like to communicate differently. The main things I have noticed is that every conversation is unique and they are not all going to need my advice or strong probing. By watching others, I have noticed this same trend. Each week tactics are changing depending on the situation.
Communication serves as a critical first impression when talking to professional figures. Growing up a basketball player, I have come across many adults who obtain a higher authority in athletics. My goal has always been to play college basketball and play professionally. Talking with these high level figures is very important to my success of becoming both. A time I communicated strongly was the first time I talked to my college recruiter. The effectiveness of my words helped to get my point across so that my recruiter could understand me in the manner as I intended. The conversation we had was very professional and the usage of my vocabulary and body language enhanced throughout the conversation. He was able to understand my intentions behind what I delivered to him so that we could have an ongoing conversation. Communicating with my recruiter showed him that I was capable to talk to him and others over him without having a mediocre conversation.
Thank you for your interesting statement, “the qualitative approach to developing and using scenarios is intended to provoke insights through conversation and dialogue about the difficult issues facing the organization, and the often-opposing viewpoints on the issues that exist within the organization” (Chermack, 2006).
My perception of the effectiveness of the communication between the RN and the UAP was extremely poor and ineffective because not only did the RN automatically assumed that the UAP has performed the task of obtaining patient’s vital signs, the RN also assumed the UAP would know what to report and therefore he should just get the job done. Due to these assumptions, the RN failed to provide the UAP with an initial direction as far as what is expected of him, what to report and when to report it. The RN also failed to evaluate his skills and abilities to properly carry out the tasks, as well as his understanding of the task and why it is being done.
I believe that I have learned a lot new things in this class. The book Interpersonal communication is divided into three main sections. Chapters range from 1 -4,5-8,9-12. The first four chapter are the basic underlying information on interpersonal communication. In these chapter, it talk about yourself and communicating with others. "Next, it tells us how we should listen, understand, and use interpreting in conversation with others"( Beebe, S. A., Beebe, S. J., & Redmond, M. V pg-119). Also, the different types of things we should pay attention to like gestures and body language. We should learn to put yourself in other people's shoes in conversations. Chapters 5 to 8 are on communication skills. This section tells us about skills that are
One of the most emotionally significant situations that happened to me was, finding out that my youngest son and another football team mate got into an altercation during a football practice. I arrived to pick up my son and found the coach speaking to him and another boy on the field. This conversation lasted at least 10 minutes so I knew that something must have happened. After the talk with the coach, my son came over to me in tears. I immediately felt protective of my son because he was obviously hurting. I asked him to tell me what had happened, but he was very overcome with emotion and unable to speak. I immediately felt anger that someone might have hurt my child either verbally or physically. My initial anger was at the coach, feeling
I share your communication issue and struggle when speaking in front of groups of people. I feel this is because as the author states “Face-to-face we receive many more signals than just speech” (2015, p.21). I feel that I become more focused on how my audience is reacting to my message, rather than just communicating my intended message. This is something I hope to gain the skills to overcome as we progress through this course.
In my line of work, communication is important. As a healthcare professional whatever information I choose to communicate must be clear and precise since a miscommunication could potentially harm a patient. This event occurred just a few days ago at work; I had a patient on a mechanical ventilator with an extensive medical history that included end-stage renal disease (ESRD). He was in the ICU on CRRT, which is a bedside dialysis. I immediately noticed that he was breathing very fast which caused a drastic drop in his CO2 levels. I expressed my concerns to the patient’s nurse as well as my supervisor on that night. We tried brainstorming, and my supervisor finally said “just drop it to 8.” Since the patient was breathing fast, and the way to
It is significant to state that there are similarities and differences between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model. First and foremost, from what I can assimilate, the similarities between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model are seen in intimacy and commitment. As scholars have concluded, intimacy includes trust, honesty, supportiveness, and being open. As far as commitment goes, we can see that there is loyalty, devotion, putting others before oneself, and the fact that we need each other. From a biblical standpoint, Jesus Christ wants nothing more than to offer all these things to us, but at times we are not willing to accept these gifts. The answer to perhaps fulfilling love,
The assessment pointed out the emotions I display often also fall under the category of expressing emotions effectively. I am often and comfortable with feeling enthusiastic, sentimental and affectionate. Whereas, the emotions that I do not express effectively are emotions I am uncomfortable with such as nervousness or vulnerability.
I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating. Most people who are diagnosed with this tend to become violent because they are fighting themselves and others out of frustration. I like you idea of the treatment/housing facility. I think that would be wonderful.
When I first registered for this course, I wasn’t entirely sure what it would entail. If I’m being honest the term “interpersonal communication” wasn’t one with which I was familiar with. Upon reading the syllabus, I feel that I have a pretty good idea of what I can expect to learn. For this course, my goals are to learn how to communicate more effectively on multiple levels, such as within my written communication and verbal communication in particular. It’s my hope that this course will help me think more critically about the ways in which we communicate, and how those communication efforts impact our daily lives. As my instructor, I hope to receive feedback from you on my work. It helps to know what went wrong in an assignment
