In thinking about the similarities and differences between how I evaluated myself as a communicator and how others evaluated me I was able to signify things that surprised and highlight insights about communication I've learned.
Listening style profile categorized me in group number one based off the assessment i took and the judgement of my boyfriend and sorority sister evaluated me on. I believe it is important to remain open minded and keep a sense of non shockability. I believe when i verbalize to my clients “you can’t say anything that i have not heard or will make your feel uncomfortable for telling me”.
Doing this helps me in my brain to be aware of anything that may come out. Often times the students desire a non judgmental ear to listen to their troubles. I am aware that time is important and I am aware to schedule orientation appointments far in between in the event time runs longer, and gives me time to drive to my next appointment with the safety factor of not rushing. Also while giving the family the time to express all that they wanted to share.
Knowing one’s audience is important to realize, I sometimes feel nervous when presenting in front of teens parents because I am constantly taking in to account my visual aids,tone of voice, and movements and time talking to ensure active participation and engagement. My Colleague expressed she enjoys hearing me speak because my ideas are beneficial to all areas of the work that we do with children and families.
After working out and eating healthy and looking in the mirror at results to getting on the scale and not seeing the exact change in pounds you may have though resulted in one’s efforts. Some times we can be extremely difficult critics on ourselves than others.
