When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship.

Throughout the semester my partner and I have learned more about each other such as our history and our plans for the future. We have also discovered how each of us like to communicate differently. The main things I have noticed is that every conversation is unique and they are not all going to need my advice or strong probing. By watching others, I have noticed this same trend. Each week tactics are changing depending on the situation.

Throughout the semester in interpersonal communication class I have gained versatile understandings of many abstract ideas on communication that without the course I may have missed an opportunity to do so. Looking at the bigger picture of communication, it is an ongoing learned skill that will be improved by both education and personal experiences which will help enable me to possess competent communication skills/characteristics. As I have learned in class our habitual communication styles and tendencies also reflect society and culture through our socialization and also displays gendered patterns in the ways of which we communicate. As someone who is going into communications as I further my education I view many aspects of communications as intriguing as well as vital to my success in both a professional and personal manner. Although, three specific topics from different chapters have struck me the most whether it has taught me something about myself or has given me the skills to communicate on a higher level. Chapters three, six, and eleven which cover communication and the self; nonverbal communication, and interpersonal conflict are amongst the noteworthy sections I have found myself feeling enriched about in a prepared & knowledgeable demeanor.

Within module 3, we covered several important leadership concepts that will assist in my personal growth and development as a leader. The concept that stands out to me as the most important is Knowing Myself within Interpersonal Communication, but specifically monitoring my own actions or Self-Monitoring. I feel that self-monitoring is the most important concept from this module because in a general sense, the use or misuse of self monitoring can add or detract from the meaning of a message while communicating. I have come to find that sometimes while communicating, I have terrible nonverbal signals and poor language and these faults can greatly influence a message that I am trying to pass in a negative way. In order to have more effective

Another factor that contributes to interpersonal communication is how appropriate one is when interacting with others. Appropriateness is the ability to maintain the expectations based on any circumstances by acting in ways other people in the situation expect you to communicate (McCornack, 2016). I am an appropriate communicator because it was my highest score on the competency scale with a score of 13 out of 15. As an appropriate communicator, I can self-monitor situations so that I can adjust to them accordingly. In addition, I interviewed my friend Kevin about my competence in appropriateness and he replied that I am always appropriate in conversation and that I can adjust my tone and the way I am speaking depending on the level of formality.

Imagine you are in New York City on your way to a meeting for work. You stop and feel your pocket for the piece of paper that contains the actual address and directions in your pocket, but it is not there. You must have left it in your apartment but there is no time to go back. You remember the name of the restaurant but have no idea where it is. You realize that you are lost and need help finding where to go. You look over at the crosswalk and a woman your age is walking across the street. You have two options: Either take out your phone and search on google maps for directions, or walk over to the women who is crossing the street and ask her. You decide to ask the girl for directions and as it turns out she is headed there too on her lunch

Effective interpersonal communication is another characteristic found in credible leaders. “A leader who knows when to interact face-to-face (rather than, let's say via email) will tend to be seen as more credible, and inspire greater loyalty compared to a leader who uses or misuses technology based communication”("Importance of Credibility," 2017, p. 1). A key element in effective communication is the ability to share a clear vision. Support for the vision must be earned from the entire team as well as the top leadership. ”The vision needs to connect with other players’ agendas and be viewed as a compelling story that excites them. If so, it will be shared further and start to energize the many others who can help achieve the vision”

December 31, 2016 about 8 o’clock I got a text from my friend. It wasn't unusual because she always text me this late but this conversation wasn't like any conversation we had this conversation was spine chilling. She text me and said “Hey lamia can I use your Facebook for something” me being a good friend I am I gave her my password and thought nothing else about it.

As days went on she started acting different by looking at my messages and not texting back. I saw her at the store and spoke to her

The purpose of this paper is not to teach you, or to show you how interpersonal communication is essential to everyday life at home or work. But, I am going to do my best to at least show you how essential communication skills are in all areas of life by using me as the example. My plan is to focus on some of the elements of interpersonal communication that we have been touching on this semester. While reading our Interpersonal Communications Book, three goals kept being highlighted that I personally wanted to accomplish by the end of course. I’m sure that by now have noticed that I keep referring to my topics as goals. The reason why I’m doing so is because I’m still on that learning curve…an ongoing process. If can recall back to all
