Operation Communication
Evaluation
Well, we are evaluating our communicating styles
and taking notice of the differences and similarities of how we evaluated
ourselves and how others evaluated us. This is how I stack up:
I enjoy communicating with others and tend to prefer
listening to others. I am also non-confrontational and try to look for ways to
communicate that present less “static”
The evaluation of my communication as given by
someone else says that I am confident and comfortable with speaking in a large
group. I am also confident with talking to others I do not know. I am viewed as
being respectful even when angered in conversation; My husband says different, however.
This did not come as a surprise but my
conversation is seen as informational, as in I do not engage in much small talk.
I like to listen to others but I have little patience for those that usurp and
dominate a conversation. I will make excuses to escape!!! My score read as action oriented by another.
I can say that the greatest insight about this week’s
learning about communication is how random and mindless our thoughts can be
when we first encounter people. As we speak we learn more of the people we are
speaking to and begin to file yet another experience in our minds to fit additional
patterns of schema. When dealing with our students and parents as education
professionals, everything we say is measured by
them.
When making mindless assumptions
based on past experiences it is important that we let the children and the
parent speak to us and tell us what they desire for their children. The parents
depend so much on our being professional in every way.
This is eye opening,
good stuff I tell you!

The evaluation from your husband on verbal aggressiveness is sort of comical. I can see how a husband may say that about a wife. Is it not true that we tend to be more hyped up with the one's we love? Thanks for sharing!

Shelia, I am not confident and comfortable speaking in a large group of people in a meeting. I will be so nerve in front the people that I problem freeze up. But you have good nerve to speak to people in a large group that is good.
