The person that I think demonstrates competent communication is my aunt Marchai. She is a very successful business woman who has traveled the world for different companies throughout her life. She has a wonderful presence about her and brightens every room that she enters. When she speaks to you, she speaks with such sophistication yet makes you feel like what you have to say is valued and important. She is well spoken, a great listener, makes eye contact when talking to you, and shares her knowledge in a respectful way. She is well known for her services within her career and motivates the people around her.
I would love to model my communication behaviors after my aunt. I would love to have the confidence that she has when she speaks to people. Because she is so confident, people look to her for advice, ideas, and comments on any given topic. This confidence, along with her body language, eye contact, knowledge, and bubbly personality makes her an amazing communicator, and someone I would like to model my communication skills from.
Tabitha,
ReplyDeleteYou noted that your aunt makes the person or persons she is speaking with feel so valued. I think that is significant because it indicates to me that she thinks highly of others. I have known of many instances where persons communicating with others scarcely recognize the contribution of others especially if they are members of a lower social stratum. It is important when we can truly appreciate others. Our societies need more persons like your aunt who will help to build to foster confidence in others.
I am always impressed by sophisticated speakers. I think there is so much to learn from them. When I leave the company of persons like your aunt I always remind myself of the need to read different genre in order to enhance my language competency. Thanks for sharing!
Tabitha,
ReplyDeleteYour aunt has displays excellent qualities of effective communication. There is something special about a person who can grasp the attention of others when they enter the room but also make those around them feel important and understood. You also mentioned that your aunt makes eye contact with speaking to individuals. This allows those she is communicating with to know that her attention is focused on them. Thank You for sharing.
