Evaluation
The similarities in how I evaluate myself as a communicator and how others evaluated me is that we both say that I am a good communicator, humble, and a God given talent to help children. I try to keep a creative mind to expand the growth of communicating with the youth. I take my own life experiences and incorporate it into the lives of others. I strive daily to better myself by improving my communication skills by not talking in slang which is a challenge and to stop texting in slang as well. The differences would be that I over think myself when it comes to situations as far as public speaking or being in a small group in which we have to stand in front of the class and give a summary of what we have learned. The one thing that surprised me the most was when they said that I am good communicator because I tend to underestimate how well I can communicate with others. I feel like sometimes when I be communicating with people that my eye contact be off because I have a tendency to look down or away. The new insight that I gained this week about communication is that sometimes we beat upon ourselves because we think that people see us in a negative perspective when in reality they might see us as being more positive.

I also take my own life experiences and incorporate it into the lives of others. I think the ability to relate is a great gift to possess! Sometimes we need assignments like this to help change our self perception!

ReplyDeleteI have mirroring issues of second guessing or over-thinking public speaking situations. I had to get over my fears and hesitations of presentations and speaking in college with my Sorority and in becoming a high school teacher. I do, however, find myself still nervous in new environments or out of my comfort zone of an audience.

LaCasa,
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned that you have a personal goal of not talking or texting in slang. That is such a great goal to have in your professional work. It is definitely something that I can work on to. I tend to change the language that I use depending on who I am talking to and on the context at work. If I am at a meeting, I tend to use a more professional tone with high language. However, when I am speaking one-on-one with someone, I tend to use low language in order to connect personally with the person. I need to evaluate whether or not it is appropriate to use low language and even if it is, to use it sparingly. Thanks for sharing!
