Communication Skills
The blog for this assignment this week was very interested, I
asked my mother and best friend to evaluate my verbal aggressiveness, and
listening styles and skills during communication. The evaluations I conduct
about my own self and how my mother and best friend I was surprise the feedback
I got. I thought I was doing fine with my communication skills, but after the
evaluation I saw that I do need to improve something. I feel that the way
others observe us is also imperative than what we want to see for what we think
it should be. I amazed of how my mother perceive me as her daughter has been
easy going. I was shock with my best friend respond she said sometime I can
come off to aggressive.
I feel my mother look
at me from a mother perspective and she problem was basing her answer as what
she see me doing on a day to day. I was amaze of the outcome of how both perceive
me. I feel that I can be perceive to be
a little different when working with children and families and my true
personality of how I am assuming this is so because, I am more
comfortable with my family and they may see my real personality. I think if my friends
from school would have done this assignment they would see me different from
how my best friend is doing. After talking to my best friend she said to me
that she noticed that my communication skills and tone down my voice need to decreases
when I am communicating with other. I noticed that they both had a different
way to perceive me. I think because one was from my mom point of view and one
is from my best friend.
After the evaluation from my mom and my best friends, I was
shock how they both observe me and how I observe myself. I thought the
relationship we had; I thought that my best friend would have look at me from a
different point of view. This assignment was very informative and I gained so
much about how I can improve my relationships with others in a more mutual and
respectful way. I am now able to work on and correct the way I communicate with
others for now on.

Hi Temika -
ReplyDeleteI was also amazed at the difference my husband felt I communicated aggressively and how I thought I communicated in this manner. When I asked about why he thought his assessment of my aggressive communication was a little higher than mine, he said it was because a lot of times when I am communicating about my work, he thinks I probably explain more aggressively than it really was. Made me really think about how I might retell some things to others.
Do you think that your mother perceives you a little calmer than your friend because of how we act when we are around different groups of people?
Enjoyed your post!

Hi Temika!
ReplyDeleteMoms can be very understanding and they know their children and depending on how we often response to certain situations our parents may speak in a way that will offend us. As far as our friends they speak the truth and we tend to respond differently when we are interacting with our friends.
It was very interesting to hear what people think about you.It can also be very helpful to hear how people view you and how you communicate.
