EDUC 6165 - Week 1


For your blog this week, think of someone (e.g., family member, celebrity, politician, friend, or professor) who demonstrates competent communication within a particular context. What behaviors does this person exhibit that make him or her effective? Would you want to model some of your own communication behaviors after this person? Why or why not?

      My former supervisor is the person that comes to my mind right away.  He is one competent communicator that I have always admire when I hear him speak at meetings or with other employees.  He is not only a great communicator that shows empathy and competence, but he is a great listener.  His use of language and nonverbal behavior makes anyone feel comfortable to speak with him.  I like that he is always very positive even in the mist of something happening.  He is very understanding, thoughtful and the sympathy he portrays is very real.   I have also noticed how well he understands culture competence when it comes to race, gender and ethnicity. He is a very genuine person that makes it very easy for anyone to approach him and want to talk to him.
      I would definitely want to model many of his own communication behaviors that he has.  His skills and abilities with communicating with everyone is something that I would like to learn and model.
