My partner and I spent twenty minutes talking about our goals and fears, regarding this course. I found this process comfortable, a combination of factors are the reasons in which this process was comfortable including, the use of verbal and non-verbal communication. My partner and I recognized a number of objectives we had that were similar to each other’s, along with areas that we differed in. My goals for this course mainly revolve around improving my intervention knowledge and skills. While improving my skills I view as strengths. I plan to overcome my challenges is through participation and expansion of knowledge. During this process I was able to observe strengths and weaknesses within myself. This paper will describe in depth the areas my partner and I discussed. Our short interaction would be considered informal communication, as our conversation was casual. My partner and I used both verbal and non-verbal communication, during our discussion. Verbal communication that was used included tone of voice, tones of voice would change when talking about similar experiences or learning objectives. Along with, when we initially began the process and verbally introduced ourselves. Additionally, non-verbal communication was also used in a number of ways. My partner and I sat facing each other on opposite sides on the desk, to allow us space to write short notes. We both used proper body language, sitting with an open posture. Eye contact was continuous and facial expressions
Non Verbal Communication: includes gestures, facial expressions, and body positions (known collectively as “body language”), as well as unspoken understandings and presuppositions, and cultural and environmental conditions that may affect any encounter between
During this semester, I focused on furthering my understanding of the basic skills and integrating them properly in therapy sessions and hoped to work on more advanced skills. I did well at focusing on improving my basic skills and not worry about choosing a model; I tried new skills/interventions. Moreover, trying new interventions was nerve-wrecking; however, it was also very exciting. Hence, some of the interventions that I used were implemented well and others need improvement. I tried to implement scaling and boundary making interventions; I demonstrated scaling in two different therapy sessions and demonstrated one of the scaling in my video presentation. Although I tried new interventions I also wanted to improve my empathy skill, but I failed to demonstrate a video where I used empathy; however, I did use this skill during several of my sessions.
2.1 It is self-evident that communication and interpersonal skills are crucial in the workplace. Good two-way communication is important to enable the flow of information in an effective way whether it be verbal or non-verbal. Good communication has a positive impact on the performance of the team including; everyone is clear what is expected from them, they receive good feedback and recognition of achievements which makes staff feel valued and boosts employee morale. The manager needs to be approachable and have a non-threatening manner so

There are two main contexts in which we communicate; formal and informal. In the context of communicating formally we communicate using; Standard English, correct grammar, corrects posture, eye contact and good pronunciation. We often communicate formally when communicating with someone of a higher authority; this shows that you respect their higher position; this is more likely to be in a formal setting such as a work place or educational establishment. However when communicating informally we use different skills such as; use of slang (informal English), more relaxed posture and general chit chat. We often communicate informally when communicating with someone who is familiar e.g. a friend. This is more likely to be in an informal and relaxed setting such as in the playground or in town.
This paper, will discuss the processes of verbal and nonverbal communication, including associated components of each, the differences between listening and hearing regarding communications. Also covered will be the formal and informal channels of communication that may be used within criminal justice organizations and implemented strategies used to overcome communication barriers therein. Verbal and nonverbal communication are the two main divisions of communication, and each specific realm deals with its own unique subject matters, symbols, behaviors, and processes.

When most of us think about communication, many of us immediately imagine ourselves talking to someone or writing them a message. Most of us do not actively think about the equally or more likely, much more important nonverbal cues that are very much a part of how people perceive our chosen messages. The main types of nonverbal communication cues that I focused on while I was observing my subjects were:
Furthermore how would we be able to transfer all of our knowledge to the next person, better yet, how would we improve our capacity of knowledge as a whole. We
I have been at my site for about 14 to 15 weeks and have been feeling more comfortable in my experience. Although at the same time as I need to do some more studying of interventions and learning more about skills for my client’s well-being. After presenting my second case presentation I decided to reread some of the chapters from our process and procedures course again, since it has been a while since I looked at these intervention skills (as I took this course about 1.5 years ago). It was a while ago and I think now I need to brush up on using these approaches now. I think this presentation was useful because it showed me that I need to continue working on my skills as a practicum student. I received a lot of good feedback and I am taking a step in the right direction to think about the skills I need to be a good counselor.
Listening is a vital element of communication and it is very much different from hearing sense of human. A meaningful communication requires both a good listener and a speaker. However, the effect of a listening style may vary depending on the occasions and situations a listener is in. Sometimes, speaker exhibit ineffective style such as defensiveness, ambushing, pseudo-listening, stage hogging and selective listening in their communication tracks.
Expertise: Participants are required to apply the knowledge gained from the workshop to prove their competence of the therapy. Hands on experience are part of the workshop, as well as a survey, a form of feedback, support, and research questions, to rate the workshop.
One thing we all have in common is that we must all communicate in one form or another. Everyone communicates even if they know it or not. Both verbal and nonverbal communication is used during conversations. Using both forms helps convey and support the message you are trying to send.
Being aware of the barriers to effective communication makes Social Care Practitioners more successful communicators.
