Communication is about sending and receiving message
information among social media, colleagues, family’s members, and so forth. It
is very important when exhibiting effective communication because both you and
the communicator can benefit from the information that is shared among us. When
I think about a person when demonstrates competent communication particular
context is Yverose Romulus. She was my Academic advisor and we became friends.
She exhibited great listening skills where she always gave me her full
attention during our weekly chat. She always has great feedback that helps academically,
in my career success, as well as personally. Her thought are very clear and
straight to the point. Another thing I love about Yverose is that she doesn't
personalize the communication we have as if it was all about her as well. It is
always a pleasure to talk to her about career path as well as personal matters.
Yverose passion for working with individuals shows a great deal of putting other
people fist. For this reason I will want to model some of her communication
behavior. Being an effective communicator is about achieving goals influence
someone life, and appropriate approach behavior. Therefore my goal is to be an
effective communicator throughout my career as an advocate in the early
childhood field. 
I have a close friend who started out as a colleague and mentor. She has a great way of posing questions to help drive you to make your own decision. Only one time can I remember her telling me what I needed to do and I think she was just tired of seeing me struggle. The best part of our relationship is now we have moved into a place where we mentor each other. I have a particular skill set that she does not and vice versa. It allows use to reach a goal with a stronger outcome.
ReplyDeleteGreat example of how we she listen twice as much as we talk. I think a lot times people have so much to say of what they want to share and they don't have the patience to listen. Living in a world where everything is about instant gratification doesn't help build those listening skills we need to be effective communicators. But I do think, your profession can play a major part in how effective your communications skills are, as with the academic advisor. She has to hear your needs in order to help you reach your goals.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you when you talk about wanting to be an effective advocate for families and children, that is something i share with you. Communication and listening skills go hand in hand in order to be successful.

I think it's terrific that you had such a good experience with your advisor. That is such an important quality in someone helping you with your career. It's nice that you valued her so much that she left a lasting impression on you. Good for you.
