Professional Venting Vs Expressive Writing

I’m a confident public speaker and experienced communicator. I gained experience in this skills thanks to several extracurricular activities that push participants to our limits and beyond. For instance, ACE is mentorship program in which at each meeting we learn the basic of Architecture Construction and Engineering. We are expected to design, discuss, develop a plan and present to the whole team several different parts of an architecture or engineering project, all of this in two hours. Thanks to ACE I learned to work as fast as possible while preserving quality and efficiency. Furthermore, I express creativity in the form of writing, I do appreciate art in form of photography and painting among others, but writing is my stronghold. A bit

One strength that I find as a writer is being able to back up my side of an argumentative or persuasive essay. I am confident in my ability to make my readers believe in my views of an issue and make these views their own; if not, I am able to sway the

Hi Shiloh! I want to thank you for reminding us that writing is a process. It is also good for me to take note as I am starting out in my professional writing career. Although I didn't coin the term 'limited' in my post, we described our professional writing experiences as limited. We laid out a brief overview of our experiences coming from different premises other than the prompt. I recall my experiences in the form of a short bio, implying that I have done anything but creative writing. From what I comprehend, you list your experience to support the importance of the process. In contrast, you took a philosophical turn, challenging a misconceived notion that writing is about the act of writing.

When it comes to my strengths and weaknesses, I have only noticed a few. I sure as time goes on and I have worked in the field and have more experiences under my belt I will notice more. One of my strengths has been apparent to me for quite some time and that my compassion and eagerness to help. I believe I am a very compassionate person who has a genuine interest in helping people and I am also very intuitive and perceptive. I have a knack for helping people come to realizations in such a way that they believe they figured it out all on their own and have a way of motivating people to do things. One of my major challenges is that I can become emotionally invested in people I try to help. I have to

As a Human Resources Technician, communicating through writing and speaking are equally as important. Aside from the obvious situations that require memorandum, standard operating procedure, or other written communication, there are many situations when writing is more appropriate than speaking. Writing is the better option in situations requiring documented proof of communication, when you want to give a reference for later on, or when you want to organize your thoughts in a specific manner. With that said, when you put something in writing, it is documented proof of what you said; therefore, it should always be professional. You always want to write in a setting with minimal distractors where you are able to focus and give your undivided attention to conveying the intended

So many aspects of our lives rely on the ability to effectively communicate. The most important aspect of my life is the relationships that I’ve formed; many of these people have helped shape me into the person that I have become. However, writing has become a major part of my life. Without having the ability to express my feelings by writing, I feel like I would merely keep them bottled up inside. Additionally, reading has allowed me to enter new worlds; you can become a world traveler by reading a phenomenal book. In conclusion, I would be a completely different person with limited experiences and restricted

Despite my weaknesses just like everybody else I have my strengths. As a writer, I can write narratives with ease. As my poster states, I have a creative mind which helps me think of characters, plots, etc. When I am writing narratives, I use many different characteristics to describe the characters, and when I was watching TedTalks and doing the chart, it made me

Another strength is self-confidence. I am highly confident personally as well as professionally to talk to and handle the customers. I got appreciation on comment letter by guest so many times. I am confident enough to talk diplomatic way with my co-workers and managers when needed. On my lower strengths, I found out that I totally get upset and very tense while working on my assignments. The assignment I am doing if something from it cannot understand made me very irritating and frustrated. I am very reserve personality because I don’t like to approach others without any concerns. It is hard for me to focus on different issues on one time. Strengths is something like make you feel power when you finish the task. For instance, I have been working on my final paper since we start the semester three weeks ago, and now that aim almost done I feel energizes spiritually even though I feel exhausted physically. Learning these basic skills in class have help grow professionally. Uncovering hidden strengths will allow you growing and transformation to

Based on the quiz my two styles under stress are masking and controlling. Masking means that I tend to cover my true feelings about a situation. This comes from sarcasm, sugarcoating, and couching whenever I am in an awkward situation. Controlling means that I try to make everyone think the same way as me. This all includes cutting others off, overstating facts, speaking in absolutes, changing subjects, and using directive questions in order to control the conversation. The dialogue skills that fits me the best is "Explore Others' Path", which means I am a listener and pay attention to others wants and needs. This exercise has helped me understand that it is always best to listen to others and make sure that they also get their point across.

I personally believe that my writing and communication skills are fairly strong. That being said, like most people, I have my strengths in weaknesses. If I had to describe them then my strengths would be giving presentations/conversations, and my weakness would be the time it takes me to translate my thoughts into a written form.

Today, writing is a very important concept we all need to have the hang of. Through the years I have realized how much writing really does affect our lives. In the beginning, I will admit that my writing skills needed some work and actually, they still do. Writing has shaped my life to have better communications skills when they are needed and shows what I am capable of. I have worked retail for the past four years and being a front-end store supervisor I have learned to communicate quite well with my district manager. Learning to communicate on a professional level with the district manager allows me to show my ability on how I can handle work related situations. I have gained a lot of knowledge by being able to take in consideration

As humans, and particularly individuals, we all have personal strengths that we bring to our interactions with others as well as areas that perhaps need some more time and attention in order to improve upon them. In this journal, I’ll be focusing on four areas of strength I believe I have, as well as four areas the require further growth and personal change.

In the field that I am going into I feel like "you attitude and positive/ neutral language" will be very important and a must, since it will be dealing with parents and their children. I feel like you have to be very cautious when wording certain things and honestly I think that will be very challenging for me since I tend to be an emotional writer. I am sure there will be times where a certain situation might come up that can bring excessive amounts of emotions, but you have to stay neutral in order to be professional and productive in the psychology field.

If one wishes to develop skill at a particular subject it is critical they are able to asses their abilities. This gives an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. By knowing what to focus on it makes the process easier and more efficient. The Writing Apprehension Test (WAT), Self Perceived Communication Competence Scale (SPCC), listening type inventory, perspective taking inventory, and communication competence inventory are tools to decipher people’s communication strengths and weaknesses. Overall my scores indicate I’m a rather apprehensive and shy communicator but still take things into perspective. I feel uncomfortable speaking in front of large groups, in meetings, with strangers and acquaintances, yet still take context into account by ‘sizing up’ the environment. I scored a 60 on a scale of twenty to one hundred on the Writing Apprehension Test. This tells me I posses an average apprehension about writing. I have trouble conveying my thoughts to others clearly and using appropriate word selection. I am often nervous of what others think of my writing and don’t like discussing my writing with others. However I look forward to writing down my ideas and am confident in my ability to write convincingly and legibly. My total Self-Percieved Communication competence sore was 58.75. This means I generally have an average self-perceived communication competence. I scored low in the public, meeting, and acquaintance categories and average in the group, dyad,

Writing is not just as simple as putting words down on a document or a piece of paper, it is a process. Within this intricate process are steps that involve more than just writing, such as critical thinking, planning, and editing. Using these steps has not only helped me when planning an essay but also when composing one. Throughout this course, I have managed to improve many skills and gain a lot of strengths, but I still possess some weaknesses. Overall, I believe my strengths have definitely outgrown these weaknesses and have led to a better, more high-quality writing process which leads to improved essays.
