The assignment for this week is for someone to evaluate myself as a communicator. I had my team leader and sister evaluate me. The similarities were I am a people's person, I love to talk, and I listen to people. The differences from my evaluate to theirs were get to the facts of when public speaking. When I communicate, I can be long winded in speaking- another words get to the point without taking so long.
My sister viewed my communication "situational" but she also does not observe me communicating in the work place. My team leader evaluation was similar to my result due to the fact we are together 8 + more hrs everyday and weekends for additional work assignments.
As a public speaker, I would like to focus on how to make the valid points during speaking events without giving long examples and to work on speaking. When I get nervous, I forgot my thoughts when I am speaking in public.
These are the areas I would like to improve in.
Hi Brittney,
ReplyDeleteI think it was important for us to have someone that is close to us and not so close in order to get pretty accurate results on how we may or may not communicate as a communicator. I also believe that we do not communicate with family members as we would with co-workers, or others in a professional setting. However I hope in doing this assessment and hearing the results of others on how you communicate will help you in being a better communicator.
I know in hearing my results from my son and co-worker it gave me more confidence in being able to speak with others on a more professional level.
Hi Brittney,I can relate to you when you say that how your family view you is different than how your collegaues may view you and its because they do not interact with you in that type of environment. It's ironic that you said that because that is how I feel as well, my family think I am blunt, but on the job families and my co-workers feel that I am very patient and open-minded, and I feel part of that is because that's how I have to be in order to be conscious of families and their feelings.
