Having self awareness is a significant attribute to utilize when leading/managing others, interacting in social events and making personal decisions. Having the insight to distinguish your emotions, then using that knowledge to manage your behavior and relationships is being emotionally intelligent (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009).

In 2001 the World Trade Centers were struck by two commercial airlines. This was devastating not only for the surrounding area, but all of the United States, and the world.

Interpersonal effectiveness is defined as asking for what one wants and being able to say no while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others (Psych Central, 2015, p.1). “Individuals with borderline traits or emotional dysregulation often struggle to maintain healthy relationships because they have only learned how to engage with others in a highly emotional manner” (Hall & Flanagan, 2014, p. 238). Clients must learn both how to manage their own strong emotions and how to relate to others in positive and adaptive way. Through individual and group work, the clients are able to build skills in relational areas such as saying no, being assertive, negotiating, validating other, balancing priorities, and being fair and honest (Hall & Flanagan, 2014, p. 238). Interpersonal effectiveness allows the client to interact with other group members in a positive learn environment.

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.

As of today I would describe my Impersonal Competence as a 3 because I am good at communicating with people and majority of the time when I speak to people, I am appropriate and ethical. However, I do feel at times I don’t always feel effective when I try to get my point across because the people I usually come in contact with don’t always agree with the things I say. For example, While I was growing up, my parents taught me be respectful to other peoples values and as well as their beliefs in addition to being respectful towards their attitudes towards life. In most situations, I find myself always being neutral in any situation whether it’s with my friends or even with family. However, when it comes to my family and family or anyone that means something to me, usually I try to speak ethically as well as listen for the good and the bad parts of the situation because I’ve learned that every part of the story needs to be heard.
