Describe Your Intentions/Goals Going Into This Interaction Report

For this assignment, I decided to interview my best friend Cindy. We met while working together and have been best friends for about 8 years. She is the person I can confide in, trust, and have open honest conversation with. Many people find it hard to believe, but we have not had a fight, that either of us can recall. I believe this is because we have always had a high level of respect for each other and we respect the other’s opinion. We may not always agree on something, but we respect the each other’s choices. I will cover our communication style and how the way we interact with each other strengthens our friendship.

I met with Christine, an acquaintance I know through members of a twelve step program. We met for about 20 minutes over coffee. As we spoke, I asked the questions that I prepared,

In stage one I started deciding that I was going to carry out a one to one with a patient. I decided to talk to them and begun to think about what I was going to ask the patient. In the second stage I decided that I was going to use verbal communication and then decided what I was going to ask them. I chose to say ‘are you going back to clinic?’Thirdly, I started to send my verbal message across to the patient and ask them

Describe the personal variables that contribute to the interpersonal communication behaviors you saw in this situation.

To understand the purpose of the phone call will make it so that you know what you are talking to the person about.

Two main topics that should be avoided are religion and politics. The foundationalist’s view should not be considered here since everyone’s justified beliefs on these topics might vary. The intent of small talk should basically be to get to know someone better, keeping in mind other peoples feelings. Raised emotion may arise if one of these topics is brought

Why did I chose the specific area of interpersonal communication to examine? I choose it for many reasons I believe I choose it because it talk about a lot of stuff that I know. I chose most of them because I wanted to learn more about them and see what they are saying. When so many people talking about this stuff it is interesting and I wanted to learn more about it. I learned a lot about interpersonal communication.

This exercise was definitely an eye-opener for me on what I should work on to improve future interactions. The whole process of the feedback was a little hard to listen to but each step was necessary to get good honest feedback. Next comes processing the information and seeing what things I need to work on to become a better leader with the interactions of hearing thoughts on these words. The final step was to figure out a SMART goal that I could use to improve on the liabilities and build off the assets. There is no doubt that this project could be very informative in getting ahead in my professional career and life.

Not all questions are alike and you don’t want to use the precious time for asking the wrong questions. If you want to make the most of the meeting, you need to know what are the key questions to ask.

'Small talk' is considered especially important at the beginning of a meeting; any of the topics suggested in the next set of points will be appropriate for this occasion.

You should also think a list of subjects you’d like to talk about and think about these before small talk situations. For example, try answering questions such as:

He continued the conversation by asking me if I had any friends and I said a couple and then stated their names. they told they knew them as well. After a little more general conversation the bell rang and I realized I never made it to the gym. Before walking to class the short one asked me if I had a phone. I told him no I did not have one, but I did have an email address instead. They all snickered and I blushed, I was glad my dark complexion couldn 't show how heated my cheeks where with embarrassment. After we finished our conversation I turned around and headed back in the direction of my academy class with a smile on face. We all talked almost everyday after that, even when I began making more friends they were always there for me.

They made sure I wasn't awkward. - What did you talk about? - Different stuff. Our families, school...

We conversed about all kinds of different things,but talked mostly about sports. I was filled with satisfaction and finally had someone I could call a friend.
