When I think of someone who
demonstrates competent communication I would have to say my mother. My mother is
a beautiful person who is always there for me and my siblings. I state my
mother because my mother is the type of person who will tell you what needs to
be said; however, she will say It in a professional manner. Even when talking
to me and my siblings about certain issues, my mother never raises her voice,
use foul language, nor disrespect us in any way. My mother is so good with
communication, that my family members use her as a communication person to get information
out within the family.
When it
comes to my mother and communication, I would want to model some of my
communication behaviors after her because my mother loves being around people and
so do I. This is why I chose the education field because I love being around
people. Children are my passion and I love to see them grow. Even with young
children, you have to have adequate communication with them. Because of how my
mother interact with others who she may know and may not know makes me want to gain
some of her communication behavior and use them within myself.
I think that the best kind of communication is when someone is able to say how things really are but also making it a point to show that it is tough love. Some things just need to be said and not sugar coated because you are afraid to hurt someones feelings. We do have to watch what we say to people and how we say it, however if you think about the person you are talking to than you can be successful.
ReplyDeleteAshley, I think it's great that your mom is the best communicator ever! Especially when there is a problem, it is great to have someone that knows how to cummunicate in those situations.
ReplyDeleteI choose my mother as my model communicator for the same reasons that you did. She too is the person that the family depends on to pass on communications around the family. Not because she is a gossiper... just the opposite. She is a person who can clearly talk with every one in an even-killed manner. When their is a family matter, she is the one who remains neutral and can bring the matter to a peaceful close.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I think your mother must talk to you like a friend rather than mother. That is something I have not been able to do with my children, particularly they are now grown ups. I have to always remind myself that they are adults now. As mum, we always view our children as young kids.
