Effective Communication Analysis

Competence in interpersonal communication can be assessed both through general interpersonal interactions and non-verbal communication. Both general competence and non-verbal competence are very important to the way that we communicate and have great influence on the message that we relay to those with whom we communicate. After watching the conversation recorded between Matt and I, I have realized that although there are some areas in which I am a competent communicator, there are areas where I could benefit to improve.

Interpersonal Communication Competence is defined as constantly communicating in a way that is effective, appropriate, and ethical (McCornack, 2016). When a person is communicating competently, they are following social norms, are able to accomplish their goals, and treating persons in an unbiased manner. In my paper I will be discussing my own interpersonal communication competence and the evaluations that I, and my close companions, have made about my ability to communicate proficiently. I will begin my essay by explaining what effective and appropriate communication consists of, and follow up with my argument on how effective and appropriate I am in my interpersonal relationships. As I continue I will examine my empathy and why I am strong in this aspect of communication, followed by my deliberation of my conversation management and why I am weak in this category and how I could possibly improve. As I near the conclusion of my paper I will focus on my interpersonal communication motivation, knowledge, and skills. After reporting my scores in each category I will reflect on my skills, my lowest score, and explore why I am poorest at this quality and how I can grow in my capabilities. Overall I am a competent communicator, but enhancements can be made in my conversation management, effectiveness and skills in order to build up my competence.

In my line of work, communication is important. As a healthcare professional whatever information I choose to communicate must be clear and precise since a miscommunication could potentially harm a patient. This event occurred just a few days ago at work; I had a patient on a mechanical ventilator with an extensive medical history that included end-stage renal disease (ESRD). He was in the ICU on CRRT, which is a bedside dialysis. I immediately noticed that he was breathing very fast which caused a drastic drop in his CO2 levels. I expressed my concerns to the patient’s nurse as well as my supervisor on that night. We tried brainstorming, and my supervisor finally said “just drop it to 8.” Since the patient was breathing fast, and the way to

Through my many years in the social work field I have learned that one of the most important communication skill is activiely listening. I work very hard when in comminication with another person to really listen and not to formulate a response in my head while they are still speaking. Regardless of the topic and whether we agree of not I can still show respect to that person by valuing their opieon and what they are bring to the conversation. One of my strenghts in communication is the ability to meet people where they are and talk with then in way that allows us to move forward regardless of whether we feel the same way about a topic.

One powerful component of constructive communication is the capability to be an effective listener. Our conversations will continue to reach dead ends if we do not realize where we may lack in our listening skills, decide to make improvements, and follow through. Therefore, we are left with two options when we learn we do not listen well, continue to listen the way we have been or make the conscious effort to improve and become sharpened listeners.

My manager than ran out of office because she
