When I was 19 I spent 2 months in Turkey on a team of 9 people for a missions trip. One thing we struggled with a lot was being able to effectively communicate with each other. Throughout our time there we began to learn how to better communicate with one another and work together and by the end of our trip we had gotten the hang of what kind of communication worked best. One of the last days we put on a church service and it was amazing to watch how we were all able to listen and delegate work to each other and put on an amazing service. One of the most aspects of collaboration in our team was being able to listen to everyone’s ideas and then be willing to go with the best idea for the team, even if it wasn’t your own. When we were able to listen to one another and effectively communicate with one another it made the collaboration in our group flow better. …show more content…
For example someone who is an auditory learning might prefer to write a speech for a project where as a someone who is a visual would rather make a video. Though neither of these objection are wrong or bad the small difference could hinder the ability to have good collaboration. It is totally possible for both kinds of learners to work together but it requires good communication on both sides. Overall this week has brought me back to see just how important it is to communicate. I think that because in our culture we are being communicated to in so many different ways all the time we can loose sight of real communication. Being able to professionally and effectively tell someone what we need or what is going on is an important skill to have and I have just been reminded of that this
It is essential that there is effective communication to build an effective team. Effective teams need to work well together and that team cohesiveness depends on building strong relationships among team members. Communication is crucial and is driven by the team leader who will work with the team to establish ground rules and work to bring the team together so that it can accomplish its goals. All teams will go through expected stages of development, from forming to storming to norming and eventually performing according to Tuckman. Navigating through these stages effectively will help teams build relationships which in turn improves communication. Effective team communication can lead to both personal and professional development. Some examples of good communication are the holding of regular catch up meetings, active listening (by management and team members), regular feedback, clear vision and goals. In contrast to the above poor communication skills can have an adverse effect on team working. If team members are not communicating amongst themselves then
Since my freshman year I’ve lived and experienced the benefit of collaboration. Both my high school and club coaches have always expressed the importance and the need to collaborate with teammates on and off the court. This was especially key my junior year. The Jserra Catholic high school basketball team I joined that year after transferring from Northwood was facing
In both of the episodes that I listened to for this assignment, the speaker interviewed Adele Faber, mainly discussing her book titled “How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk”. According to Faber, this book talks about how to be a better listener to children and how to better communication between the two generations. There were several main points that she mentions in the podcast, one of them being the acknowledgement of both the child’s and the parent’s feelings. Basically, parents shouldn’t tell their kids how they’re feeling. One example would be a child telling the parent that something hurts and then the parent telling them it doesn’t, that it’s just a papercut. Instead, the proposed response is repeating to the child that it does in fact hurt, or asking them how to make it feel better. This is the foundation of the relationship between parent and child.
For the past twelve years, COM 434 Radio/TV Practicum has gone through many changes, but the learning that goes on in the classroom and in the television studio remains the same. The Calumet Roundtable is a unique class, giving students a real world experience in the field of television production. The organizational communication of this course has shifted throughout the semester each teaching individuals various lessons: having inadequate note for your superior or talent is going to affect the outcome; hiding information from your supervisors is never a beneficial thing because it reflects negatively on them; abusing your power is unethical for personal gain; and every leader has different personality and unique managing styles. Considering
Teaching is highly dependent on communication. This is made clear by Simonds and Cooper (2014) suggesting that teaching and learning is impossible without communicating, communication is inevitable in an educational environment. Outstanding teachers display effective communication, it is the basis of their teaching reputation as well as the basis of their rapport with students, parents, colleagues and others (Simonds and Cooper, 2014). “3.5 Use effective classroom communication” and “7.3 Engage with the parents/carers” (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), 2014) the two standards listed require the effective implementation of communication, highlighting that it is impossible to be a successful teacher in and out
The authors of The leadership Challenge contend that collaboration is the master skill that enables organizations and groups to function effectively and that “Collaboration is sustained when you create a climate of trust and facilitate effective long-term relationships among your constituents”. The questions asked what am I/others doing to promote collaboration and trust among groups? Personally being in Bobcats Against Hunger there is a lot of collaboration happening all the time. Specifically right now we have been collaborating on a big fundraising event coming up in November. When planning this event we were all throwing ideas out, then we started to decide on things like where, how and when and this was our group collaboration. Through every step of planning Toss Away Hunger we were constantly in contact through our groups me and weekly executive board meetings. Having both virtual communications as well as face-to-face interaction helped greatly. I think since we did have both ways of communicating it also helped build trust, because we could message if we had a question or message when we finished something such as the t-shirt.

Our group worked on all the components of the project together, which included the research, reference pages, scripts, and the PowerPoint. I believe our decision to not assign specific tasks to a single individual allowed us to fully understand all the information and get along better due to the fact we all were doing the same amount of work. In a group setting, we had to work together and communicate with one another in order to create a suitable presentation. One thing I saw that our group thrived at was listening to one another. Our book defines listening as the “active, complex process that consists of being mindful, physically receiving messages, selecting and organizing messages, interpreting messages, responding, and remembering (Wood, 2016).” Each group member had to
I have learned many things in this class the dos and do nots of public specking some of the more important thigs to me are when to use hand motions and how many to use. The other one probably is the so what now what topic to get the audience really involved in the topic and give them something to do. This is actually what chapter 4 is about and that will lead me into the brief summary of it.
Communication is the key to success. A team without communication could never be successful. Communication is important because the group needs a clear goal and also they need to have shared objectives. For example, in football a defense needs to be on the same page; if two players on the defense are on different pages then the defense will not be successful. You need everyone to share the same objective in order to succeed, not just a few people but all as one. To ensure a team’s success, everyone on the team has to be accountable. Everyone has a job on the team to contribute to becoming successful as a whole. Also you need trust in order to become successful; you have to be able to trust in your team that they will give their all for the team.
As a student experiencing formal education for over 15 years, writing essays, research papers and narrative stories presents itself as nothing new. Every student has a specific writing method ingrained in his or her brain and after years of practice, very little thought goes into creating a formal literary piece. The Lunsford humanizes the methodology of producing quality writing and it characterizes a piece of writing into something more than just a class assignment. Rhetorical situations delve into the complexity of communication through writing. Surrounding the context of a piece of writing there is a topic that needs to be clearly stated, an opinion to be portrayed, and an audience to be thought about. An appropriate topic for a writer to elaborate on is one that either puzzles or interests them. This allows the writer to be engaged in his or her writing and provide a method of effective communication. The opinion on the topic allows the writer to be individual and portray the
Hi Mom okay first thing on the list is my I.E.P (i don't know what that stands for) here is how I want it changed first thing when the teacher is not giving instruction I want to be able to put in my headphones and listening to music it helps me focus better and really get into the subject (tell them that i'll put on spotify not youtube so I won't have to touch my phone/computer at all so they won't be a distraction) next is I want my tests read out loud to me because sometimes I don't understand what thiere asking and if I know the answer i'll say it outloud and sometimes I don't know how to put that into an anwser (example: where was the declaration signed? And sometimes I don't know weather to say like at the bottom or who signed it or if
Lightbrown & Spada examined the influence of form-focused instruction and corrective feedback on communicative teaching. What has previous research on this topic indicated? What do we learn about this important topic based on their results and conclusions?
Working within a group or team is unavoidable for most people. We are involved in sports teams, assignment groups, work teams, social groups and a variety of other groups and teams. Each of these groups share one thing in common, that is each requires us to communicate in some way in order to reach a shared goal or target. Therefore, it is imperative to know and understand how to work and communicate effectively with others to maximise outcomes and productivity.
When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.
