This has helped the company.

I can relate this outcome of the course to my work experience. I can think of a recent personal experience of me with an offshore resource working from India. Since me being onsite and have more insight into the project was presenting a project proposal to the team members including this guy that was working from India. The presentation concluded and the very next day I talked to him about the project. He did have a good understanding of the project and was technically capable of the completing the project. But, what I noticed was that he was not able to communicate clearly. It was important for us to know about the status of the project. The project was going well but I have that this guy was not providing us with any status of the work he has been completing. After I took this class I have learnt that it was important for me to have him present the proposal from next time onwards which might help him increase his communication skills thus benefiting the
Secondly, it is natural that a variety of feelings a worker can experience, during a crisis situation, but from this course, I learned that how to respond and manage them in a positive manner. It was a useful outcome which provides me with the knowledge of how to maintain our thought, feelings and behaviors while acting or reacting that will keep me and as well as client safe and free from harm and abuse during the crisis.
As I planed to take this class, I thought this course would be like all other general education courses. I believed that it would be of little use to me. However, after attending the first class, my view has changed completely. I applied each and every theory to my life.
Through the process of acquiring knowledge in this course, I have learned countless aspects about my own self. Amidst the very challenges I faced, the act of communication, management, and leadership, are among them. Being bilingual, my communication skills are on par yet at times hinder me from articulating my intention precisely as I have meant them. With every socialization I have made, I have striven to do better and to be better. I have learned that although you may consider yourself “fluent” in a foreign language, there are phrases or intonations to which come across as something entirely different from what you intended to say causing the message to be lost between the barrier of the two communicators.
Use this Learning Log to keep track of what is being taught in this class and whether you have learned it.
Therefore, I hope that I can achieve many new valuable experiences as well as friendships through this class. As a student, I believe I have the responsibilities to pay attention in class, and contribute to the class as much as I can. Besides, I need to ensure that I finish homework before coming to class and seek for help when needed. My goal is to become a successful business woman, who has the opportunities to work with different countries and cultures around the world. I am confident that this class will help improving my analytical and organizing skills, which are helpful and beneficial for my career in the
I understand that communication styles change greatly from person to person. Recently, I have found myself caught in the mix with someone who really lacks communication skills, and could greatly benefit from a course like this one. On the flip side, I am lucky enough to deal with someone who I have personally experience great communication from. Though, I do think that everyone has their own ideas of what “good” communication is.
I strongly believe that the class, HD341 Communication for Empowerment fulfill my goals in taking this class because it is giving me many opportunities to make connection with other classmates. I usually check in by sharing my stories at school, at work, and any issues that I am still concerned. Therefore, verbal communication is an area I frequently use in class to communicate with my peers as well as my professor. I also have active listening my classmate’s stories and have critical thinking to giving feedbacks to them.
I want to work in healthcare management. So I would work in a hospital and make sure operations are running smoothly. In this position I will have to work with many people. I believe take this class will develop my interpersonal skills. As a leader, I will be in charge of a staff of people. I believe this class will help me be a better leader because we work on being sensitive to others. It will help me deal with difficult employees. I will be able to make the workplace more efficient because there is great communication amongst my subordinates and myself. Issues that may occur in the workplace like, bullying and harassment can be handled and removed effectively. Counseling skills are very powerful tools that everyone should have. Since not everyone have them, I am
The interpersonal communication class was just awesome in that I learned many diverse aspects from understanding nonverbal communication and interpersonal communication. The semester was filled with different activities that helped us to enhance our interpersonal communication skills. For instance, in every week, we had discussion post and reflection questions on what we had learnt. This course has been of great essence to me because I have discovered considerable information regarding interpersonal communication. I am now capable of dealing
Managerial communication and skills is the subject that needs to be legitimately comprehended and consolidated into each organization. I accept that working ordinarily for an organization might be some piece of life, however fit to deal with our work with successful correspondence and aptitude is an Art of Living. I can certainly say that this course at Sullivan had provided for me sufficient chance to consider different viewpoints that I have been taking a shot at a regular schedule at my work place. It additionally helped me enhance each part of it. It is said that take in while you take in and play while you play, then again, my work style is to play while I take in (taking in gets to be so natural) and this could be accomplished through solid crucial learning in Managerial communication and skills.
The course also challenged me and allowed me to think critically. Whenever I am faced with an issue I know that I should take steps to formulate an opinion. It’s always good to ask questions to clarify anything. Once all the facts are established, I know that I should assess them. Finally I am able to assert a carefully thought out opinion (3). After taking these steps can be sure my opinion is right and not just for me personally, but regarding others too.
It is not easy to understand significance of some things and their impact until you actually undergo them. Ability to effectively communicate and work is one such thing. Before I started business communication class, I was very pessimistic about my communication abilities and my competence in rapidly evolving field of business communication. I was unconfident and nervous on my first day of class. I quickly realized that business communication is course that you will never learn until you energetically engage in various situations of listening and speaking. However, with all wonderful experiences of participation in the class, I personally felt that I gained a real experience without even working in an organization. Interactive nature of the class combined with wonderful teaching of Diana has really helped me to gain immortal knowledge. Through this course, I have refined my communication skills and strengthened my confidence to deliver professional standards and competencies emphasized by potential employers. I would like to share how each module of the course helped me to hone my interpersonal skills:

I found out that practice for international business has become little bit complicated due to influence of globalization.
Before exposure to the content of this course, I was confident in my ability to communicate interpersonally. Upon my first encounter with feedback from my peers, I was surprised to find out that others did not also think this. Coming into this course, I relied heavily on only verbal communication. I was introduced to several important new skills that help me communicate with others more precisely, including paraphrasing, c...
