My total score in the Self-Assessment for Email Practice is 32. It says that “You are a careful communicator by email. You generally plan your emails well. However, you sometimes send them without enough thought or without reviewing them sufficiently. Focus on spending slightly more in time in the planning stage.”
The two areas of email communication in which I feel I am strong are the following:
1. I set a designated time in a day that I know I am free and uninterrupted in reading and responding to my emails because I know if I do not set a schedule or time, I cannot focus or misunderstood what the email requires me to do especially when I am busy; and
2. Before sending a reply email, I make one last check to see that I have responded to
Also, many people like to check their E-mail very late at night, so not to get
This Communications Style Inventory provided an accurate reflection of my communication style for the majority of the time. I would argue my communication style is dependent on the situation. When I communicate with students, I tend to take on the role of supporter/relator. I listen to their problems and tailor my reactions to their emotions. When I am with friends, I am a promoter/socializer. I still value building those relationships, but they often do not require the emotional support the students need. Although controller and Analyzer are my lease score traits, I do use those qualities when I need to be direct or need to work by myself.
Communication is essential in our everyday life. There are many forms of communication; to name a few: there is intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, interviewing, small group communication, computer-mediated communication, and mass communication. Although we all engage in all of these forms of communication every day, I would have to say that I engage the most in intrapersonal communication and small group communication. Speaking of communication, I believe that my biggest strength deals with self monitoring strategies. For some of my weakness, I would have to say that due to self-destructive beliefs, I have very low self-esteem. I would also like to introduce and talk about a topic that I found
However can someones interpersonal communication competency be summed up in a score out of fifteen or is it a combination of how well they scored and how they behave with actual people. I intend to see if my daily interactions with people and how friends, such as my roommate, perceive me lines up with my competency scores.Effectiveness in interpersonal communication is the ability to produce desired end results of the three types of goals through your interactions with others (Reflect and Relate). Generally, I find myself to be effective when interacting with different people and I am able to accomplish certain interpersonal goals, however this was my lowest score on the competency scale. This is not a problem since I still scored relatively high considering it is my lowest category. When I think of my effectiveness with interpersonal communication I am quickly reminded of a time when a friend, named Robert, and I were trying to deciding what to
Thanks again Mr. Seipp for the time you spent with today out of your busy schedule and for all the support you provided.
Sally and Rebecca, I appreciate your thoughtful discussion on PHRs. Sally, I was particularly interested in your questions regarding telehealth in psychiatry and how patient emails should be managed in the case of a potential suicidal crisis (Sally Rothacker-Peyton, personal communication, April 8, 2018). I struggled to find guidance in the literature on how to advise a clinician to manage emails which from potentially suicidal patients as you mentioned. I believe email is similar to voicemail in terms of its efficacy in managing emergent issues. However, unlike with a voicemail message, email does not allow you to provide instructions for an emergency or give a timeline for response up front. While it is possible, to have an automatic reply to
Remember that electronic email is about communication with other people. When you compose an e-mail message, read it over before sending it and ask yourself what your reaction would be if you received it. Anytime spent on making out email clearer is time well spent.
After I have set my schedule, I will begin tracking my progress and manipulating the schedule accordingly. I will follow the schedule I set for the day checking to see what things I have been able to accomplish. The first few days things while be moved around and prioritized, if I find out the task I assigned myself only takes forty-five minutes instead of an hour I may cut down the time I have allowed myself accordingly. The same is true for the opposite, and if something takes me an hour and thirty minutes when I only gave myself an hour, the schedules will be changed for the next day with more time allotted to the
I believe my strength in communication relates to the communication competence section in many ways. For one, the section discusses that competence is situational. When I’m speaking at a funeral I’m more competent in that situation than in a situation that deals with conflict. Secondly, there’s the empathy/perspective taking section that I can relate my strength to. It explains how people are able to communicate better when they are able to empathize with other people’s point of view. When speaking at funerals you’re already in a sad element, so you’re able to empathize when relaying your message. At my mom’s funeral it was different when I spoke, because it was my mom. At my classmate’s funeral, since it was a different cause of death, I knew I had to empathize with the people there differently. Thirdly, there’s the self-monitoring stage that I went through when speaking at my classmate’s funeral. As I would speak and look into the audience, I would ask myself, “Am I saying the right things to bring comfort to these people?” It was very important to me that I gave a message that would bring comfort to his loved ones. Finally, there’s communication apprehension that I can relate to my strength. Communication apprehension is defined as “feelings of anxiety that arise in unfamiliar or difficult communication texts.” Even though this is my communication strength, because of the occasion, it can still give me a feeling of
My first strengths to communication are (responsibility for communication) the meaning of responsibility for communication means when someone knows how the person is feeling, and when someone sees them self in their shoes of any person they are talking with. For example, a woman starts to talk to the men about her having problems about her job. Once the woman talks to the mean about the situation the man starts to feel what the women is feeling and understands being in the same situation she is in. in this kind of situations ,I’m understandable when someone is going through the worst time and other times I can relate to these people I talk to. When I communicated when people are going through a rough time I communicate with them by giving asking them the question about something good that has to happen to them. My last strengths are (Flexible). The meaning of Flexible in a conversation is when the person has a good way to talk and thinking about what they are going to say before they talk. For example, a kid can ask the teacher a question, but the teacher seems to be busy. So a way the teacher would be Flexible is for the kid, is by thinking about what she is going to say, to organize her thoughts before she communicates. When it comes to a situation where someone talks to me, and I’m busy, or mad what I do is think before what I’m going to say before saying something I will
My results from this diagnostic survey on time management assured me that my time management skills are low. The survey revealed that I am on the bottom of the scale of time management. There were two sections of the survey. One section measured your time management skills in an office setting and the other section measured your time management skill in your personal life. By having two sections you can compare your time management skills for the two different settings. The total score measures your overall time management skills and it also puts the score in a category. My scores of 27 points for personal life and 31 points for office settings combines to a 58 point total score. My combined score falls in to the lowest category that suggests that training is necessary and will considerably enhance my effectiveness. The first step of solving a problem is identifying it. After taking this survey I have proof that my time management skills are low.
On a daily basis, we come in contact with individuals that we have to communicate with, wither it be for work purposes, educational purposes, or social practices. As active humans we cannot escape the idea of socializing or communication, therefor; we make it a daily routine who we communicate with, how we communicate with them, what we listen to and how we listen it. With this routine habits are formed, some are strengths but others are weaknesses that diminish the communication quality. It is extremely important for individuals to recognize these strengths and weakness within their communication routine. By recognizing their strengths, they are able to improve even further and use their ability to get them closer to goals they may have set for themselves. Recognizing their weaknesses is just as important if not more important.
Communication is the progression of emotional expressing reactions, reach common thoughtful, to send and receive message and improve connections.

Electronic communications, improve efficiency and productivity, but poorly written emails can cause internal strife, low morale, and loss of clients. Effective written communication will enhance internal communications as well as external communications. The ability to write effectively is a core skill that all employees, no matter what their title is, should master. If the content of an email is unclear, grammatically incorrect or is full of typos, the email will cause misunderstandings and the possible loss of business. A chain reaction of emails or letters will occur, questioning the next course of action and clients will undoubtedly believe that we will treat them with the same carelessness we took in creating that correspondence. Case in point, a letter was recently sent to one of our clients misquoting our fees, a second letter was sent to the client correcting the fee, but was addressed to the wrong person. We have since lost this client. Jonathan Hershberg, president of Opus Associates, a communications training developer based in New York, states, "If I get an e-mail that's full of errors and I know nothing else about you," Hershberg says, "there's no reason for me not to think you'll handle my business in the same way you handled that writing.” (Moerke, A, 2004) We have seen an example of this kind of writing. A benefit distribution memo was created for the wife of a deceased participant. The salutation of the letter addressed the deceased, not the wife. Correspondences regarding death benefits require special attention. Correspondence should never be addresses to the deceased. All writers should use the method of prewriting, brainstorming, writing and organizing, revising for style, and proofreading to produce memos, letters, emails, and reports The suggested percentage of time spent on each writing step is as follows: (Jaderstrom, Miller, and Office Pro June 2004)
