This is the final blog for my course in communications. I
have learned so many new things to help me in my career as a professional in
the field of early childhood education. I have learned how to be more
empathetic with the individuals I interact with. I have learned how to improve
my verbal and non-verbal communication skills with my fellow colleagues,
families, and others. I have learned the importance of eliminating non-violent
communication and incorporating the 3 R’s in my communication skills. Respect
(R 1), will
positively impact communication, because it allows one to show respect towards
another, by actively listening, being attentive, and engaging in conversation.
Responsiveness (R 2), allows the speaker and the listener to respond to each
other when necessary; this will eliminate disruption between the two parties
while communicating. Reciprocal (R 3), allows one to give information while the
other takes in and vice versa. With these in mind, I now know how to be a
better communicator and leader. Several of my colleagues gave quality insight
into my post; they gave valuable feedback and encouraged me to be better. I
would personally like to thank Mirla and Deon for always being insightful and
encouraging. To all of those who view my blog, I wish that each of you would
take the time to look at your life and career to see if it is rewarding for
you. I strive to support each of you by encouraging you to think critically about
your life and how you can improve the lives of others. Thanks for a great term.

ReplyDeleteI want to thank you personally for your insight and approach to our field. Every week I look forward to reading you thoughts and gaining new perspectives for myself and the way I carry myself as a professional. We have shared some of the same thoughts and you have made me think about some of my stances on certain topics. I appreciate your openness to share personal experience so that we may learn from one another. Cannot wait to see you in the future.
