Oftentimes, misguided individuals believe that knowledge and the willingness to share this knowledge with others is the key to successful leadership. However, what is often overlooked is the value of possessing effective communication skills to build relationships among one’s peers and leaders. For without the possession of effective communication skills one may find it difficult to not only succeed but also advance in the work place. Specifically in the field of education, where leaders are faced daily with challenging tasks, commitments, and deadlines, having effective communication skills is detrimental in creating a positive school climate in which teachers and staff members optimize student academic achievement.

Lately, I have been working on my communication skills and leadership skills at my service learning. I am starting to figure out each child’s personalities and how to work with them. I am also learning how to understand the children’s way of communicating as well. For example, one student will cry and not pronounce all of his words and we have to understand what is wrong with them. To get him to say what is wrong we have to make him go sit in the corner and let him take some time to calm down and use his words.

The type of listening problem I have is, Mindful Listening. I tend not to listen to conversation mindfully when I am not interested. As a teenager, I never fully listen to advice from adults, especially my parents. when my parents tried to give me advice about school or my friends, I wouldn't mindfully listen to them. Instead,I would try to tune them out by thinking about other random things. I would pretend to listen, but I would really give them my full attention. My reason for this is because I felt like the conversation was really boring, or that it was not really beneficial.

This statement is true. I consider my communication skill good to excellent. As the daughter of two school teachers I have an excellent command of the English language and they taught me how to present myself in such a way to adapt to my audience and have a confidence in my words. These traits have allowed me to be successful in a number of various professions, but I find my ability to communicate with

I believe my communication skills (especially written), including proofreading are strong. An example, for my senior capstone project I was selected as team lead. I managed team members (mostly by email communication) on group assignments, organized meetings, recorded a group log, proofread other group member’s sections of the paper, and the typed paper.

I give my self a overall needs improvement i am lacking the necessary skill set to successfully succeed in communicating. For example when i worked in a popular copy shop where communicating is all we do all day long. On several occasions i failed to let some body know the paper folder was bunching up papers jamming up the machine their was a 2,000 job that needed to be folded and was jamming up the manager noticed i had been working on folding that day and asked me why i didn't notify someone it needed do be fixed, we had to out source the job and lost out on money all because i didn't communicate the issues. I got written up.

My interpersonal skills, accelerated to a level of advancement as my responsibilities were centered on verbally engaging patients and their families regarding health issues. To gain an accurate picture of health status I had to utilize persuasive communication to skillfully abstract needed information during the triage process. On occasions, I had to concisely, communicate information with patients and/or families regarding health status and at times that was very uncomfortable. I remember on two occasions I had to accompany the physician in relaying news of the termination of life concerning family members and then was given the task of comforting the families until the hospital clergy arrived.

Listening is the act of mindfully hearing and attempting to comprehend other people’s spoken words.

When I finished reading the first chapter of this course and other articles which are in regards to listening skills, I could analyze my own listening skills. One of my best ability in a conversation is to pay attention to someone’s feelings when they are talking. Many people are not able to “listen for feelings” points out Lipkin (par. 4). People who are able to achieve such skill may have the power to impress others and to be a trustworthy person (par. 4). “Listening for feelings means paying attention to words that express feelings” adds Lipkin. Another good listening skill I noticed I have is giving feedback. When I am having a conversation with my friends or my family members, I like to nod or show that I am listening to them, what they are saying and understanding what they are talking about. I have never thought I owned such skill until my friends told me why they like to tell me their problems or other issues their dealing with. However; as everyone else I also lack at some listening skills. Some of my skills I lack at are interruption and inattentiveness. When someone’s telling me something, I interrupt them by asking them something or even by giving them advices. In addition, I also am not very attentive, because sometimes I am distracted by noise or my own thoughts. According to Julian Treasure, expert on this field, there are some exercises that can help us develop our listening skills (2011). One of them is silence. Staying three minutes a day in silence is a great exercise to refresh your ears and to be able to hear the silent again (Treasure, 2011). Mixer is also another good exercise, which means listening to different channels of sound (Treasure, 2011). This exercise is on my future plant in order to develop my listening skills and to manage myself to not be distracted from noise (Treasure, 2011). One other important exercise is listening

In fact according to a study by the University of Colorado, “One area of communication where most people are worst at is listening” (Poor Listening). This is a cause for concern as, “Poor communication can be an inexorable cause of stress” (Canty). Of course listening are by far the most vital aspects of being an effective communicator and an effective leader, two essential things that I desired to develop over the course of this semester. I also have an issue with not responding to emails in a timely manner, this too was something I decided to work on here. In
