Competent Communication

Competent Communication

          When I think of someone who exhibits competent communication, I think of my previous boss. I really did learn a lot from her. She taught me a few things about communicating as well. She opened my mind and gave me ideas about communicating with others. I had to learn that it is not a one-way street. I also learned that if I wanted to get someone to do something I had to understand them, listen to them and communicate things in a certain way to them. I learned that you cannot communicate the same way with every person. Not everyone receives information the same way and therefore communication is individual. I also learned that wording is huge when it comes to communication. How you ask someone things or tell them things is so important. With that being said, the words we use is so important. Something that I have learned through my course of studies, when writing papers, wording is key too. So, I feel as though, this little bit of information may be minor to others but is huge to me cause of how much it has been drilled in lately. I have been taught a lot from my previous boss and definitely will be using what I have learned from her when it comes to communication. It proved to be effective when I used it before. It makes lots of sense when you look at it. It has worked, and I have changed how I communicate. I know though that I have more to learn and use when it comes to communicating. I am actually excited about taking my new course in communication.
