This week we were assigned to take different inventories that evaluated how we communicate and listen. These inventories had to be taken by us and two other individuals. I chose two participants that are familiar with my communication skills. I chose one family member and one church member. I chose the family member because sometimes we communicate differently with family than out in the public. I chose a church member/friend because she has seen me speak in different ministries we are apart of. My score varied a little in number but all were in the same categories. I am a people-oriented communicator that is shy in some atmospheres when challenged to speak. These scores flex my communication challenges and gift exactly.
Two things I have learned from this exercise:
1. I learned that I am not always nervous in all speaking environments which shows me how to channel the improvements.
2. I learned the different types of listening skills and how they are important based on the atmosphere you are in.
In conclusion, I enjoyed learning about myself through the eyes of others!
McKenzie,
ReplyDeleteI like how both your family member and your fellow church member scored you in the same category. I chose a family member and a friend to complete the tests. Two out of the three tests they answered different from each other! I don’t know if that’s a good or not so good! Glad to see that you learned a few things from the assignment.
