Conversation Partner's Communication Analysis

Communication takes place in any and all locations, intentionally and unintentionally, and it can be positive or negative. Many of our personal traits and character qualities can affect how we communicate with other people, and how they communicate with us. Recently, I had an experience that further proved this point to me in a very real and tangible way.

When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship. It might sound like an odd relationship to choose, seeing as he is an ex, and it might not sound like a good starting point, but let me first say he is one of my best friends right now.

Everyone has different ways in which they communicate and have a wide range of communication needs.

Edmondson (2009) discusses four different basic communication styles. The first style is expressive which have a tendency to speak quickly, focus on the big picture, and have a high energy level. They can be perceived as unpredictable, vain, or excessively jovial. Next are systematic who tend to focus on small details, not on the larger picture, and try to avoid conflicts. The third type listed is sympathetic. These individuals focus on people and relationships. They are good listeners and so concern for everyone’s needs. Sympathetics also do not like be at odds with others. Lastly, the fourth communication style identified is directs who generally keep dialogue short and are perceived as a multitaskers. The study recommends that the individual discover her own communication style and adjust the style according to the situation.

To build a good relationship with children, it is important that you encourage them to interact with you. This should be in a relaxed and natural way. Sometimes rather than telling a child what to do, you may ask them what they think and allow them to make suggestions. Listening plays a vital role here and teaches the children how to listen.

Having a crucial conversation can be difficult; however, it is essential for me to be successful in my project. I think of different ways I could approach the CNA to have this crucial conversation without any conflict and to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible, and handle the conversation in a way that will produce a better outcome. I asked the CNA to let me know when she is ready for her break, so we can take one together because I will like to talk to her about something that will improve our work relationship effectively. We went for a break, and I started the conversation by saying I would like to talk to you about some things I am noticing when we work together, I am not accusing you of anything, I just want us to talk about my observations, and I will listen to what you have to say. I explained to her about the issues in my initial post, when I started the conversation her facial expression

The crucial conversation scenario about a couple after a night out seemed point on to me about how dialect in couples can emerge after a night out drinking. Each partner told clever stories by making excuses for their own behavior brought on by their version of how the night played out. Angered perceptions of how the other partner was acting at the party resulted in the need to justify their own behavior feeling that they were each the victim that night.

According to Melissa Fabello effective communication is hard. After reading her article I have to say that she is right, not a lot of people know how to communicate effectively. Expressing feelings enables us to think through and move on from troubling negative emotions.

Communication serves as a critical first impression when talking to professional figures. Growing up a basketball player, I have come across many adults who obtain a higher authority in athletics. My goal has always been to play college basketball and play professionally. Talking with these high level figures is very important to my success of becoming both. A time I communicated strongly was the first time I talked to my college recruiter. The effectiveness of my words helped to get my point across so that my recruiter could understand me in the manner as I intended. The conversation we had was very professional and the usage of my vocabulary and body language enhanced throughout the conversation. He was able to understand my intentions behind what I delivered to him so that we could have an ongoing conversation. Communicating with my recruiter showed him that I was capable to talk to him and others over him without having a mediocre conversation.

My perception of the effectiveness of the communication between the RN and the UAP was extremely poor and ineffective because not only did the RN automatically assumed that the UAP has performed the task of obtaining patient’s vital signs, the RN also assumed the UAP would know what to report and therefore he should just get the job done. Due to these assumptions, the RN failed to provide the UAP with an initial direction as far as what is expected of him, what to report and when to report it. The RN also failed to evaluate his skills and abilities to properly carry out the tasks, as well as his understanding of the task and why it is being done.

What specific verbal or nonverbal behaviors did your partner exhibit that indicated how much communication anxiety they were experiencing? Whether this was a lot or hardly any at all, what behaviors did you notice?

Mike Wedge was my high school science teacher and had a huge influence in my life both academically and personally. He was the person that made me fall in love with the science field and opened my eyes to my passion and desire for learning. Not all my classmates felt that way about him though. Other students considered him to be an extremely hard teacher, who chose favorites, and was unwilling to help students who were failing his classes. If I think about it, all of these are true to an extent; but for me they were never a hindrance to my education, but on the contrary, a point of motivation to prove myself and succeed. This is the background for the relationship him and I have built over the last years; an academic foundation with me admiring him as an educator and him admiring my willingness to work and ask the tough questions to better myself.

Mary wants to discuss appropriate topics in order to maintain appropriate social interaction with others. Staff supported Mary by having one on one conversation with her on the occasions that certain topics of conversation became overly exaggerated or inappropriate.

I am very understanding of people’s emotional turmoil as I work in retail leading me to be around people that are on their excellent and dreadful days. I also have friends, that instead of hiring someone, they come to me as I listen without judgment and give guidance that they later thank me for. As I became Dr. Phil to my friends, their friends have started to come to me and just talk wanting someone to listen to them. I am ready to help everyone who needs it from mentally, to emotional, to physically, devoting my time and effort into helping patients feel at ease and develop a bond that gets them to understand that I am there for them and only them. I have been left in dire positions where I had to ask for outside help for friends who needed

The plan is to create a rational yet subjective tone that discusses expected results. This will ensure that while an adherence to data and facts are prevalent in the presentation, subjective considerations are presented and forwarded as important elements in the decision-making process. I will begin with an introduction of who I am, my experience and a clear statement of specifically why I feel I have been hired and what I can directly bring to the company (in this part I will try to engage those I feel we can initiate an alliance with while not directly antagonizing the limiters). Finally, I will end with a clear plan including our vision of communication. As stated previously, I will be as transparent as possible because of the need to create trust in myself and the communication division as a whole. The department vision presented initially will be quite lean and minimal with the focus being on quality over quantity. The focus of our energy will be on channels and tactics that have a better chance to deliver disproportional results to build momentum and support for our new department such as the go ahead for a communications audit and the need to invest in the necessary staff and infrastructure to achieve this.
