Recommended: Importance of communication competence

A strength from my PDP part A which I would like to improve on is my ability to quickly grasp concepts from lectures and assignments. This strength allows me to do well in school and receive grades that I am happy with. I would love to be able to further improve this strength because it will allow me to succeed in my future schooling. It will also aid me in having a successful career as a nurse, because nurses are known for having to constantly learn new information throughout their career. Although I am good at grasping ideas and remembering them for a short period of time, I tend to forget them in the long run. A measure I have put in place to prevent that from occurring is to constantly review old ideas and concepts that I have learned, …show more content…

This is an important strength for my future career as a nurse because of the constant interactions nurses have with patients and other health care workers. It is also an important strength in everyday life, because of the necessity of constantly having to communicate with people in school as well as in public. In order to improve this skill, I have decided to use strategies, which I have learned in class as well as books such as the “EQ Edge”. One of the biggest aspects of my communication skills I have been trying to improve is being assertive when I communicate by saying what I feel in a non-destructive …show more content…

By reading books about communication and implementing their advice, I have been able to avoid conflicts and resolve them much faster than before. For example, when I failed to complete a task that I had to around the house, I was able to effectively communicate my point across to my mom without becoming extremely defensive. I still have a long way to go to always remember to implement communication strategies but I believe with time it is something that I will be able to achieve. By the time I am ready to start my career as a nurse, I am hoping to be able to always communicate effectively with those around

    During the sessions, I realized that my strengths are providing the appropriate amount of verbal and nonverbal signals to the other participant during the conversation. Something that I could work towards is becoming a better listener when the subject matter might not interest me. It is easy to stay engaged in a conversation that strikes interest, but harder to do the same when it might not be as appealing. Living in a shared space with someone I wasn’t familiar with was a learning experience. Having that occurrence has prepared me to be comfortable with managing conflicts. Even though I had the privilege to live alongside another person there will be situations where I am not as skilled despite previous experiences. In preparation, I can continue to grow in this area by practicing my listening skills and understanding that each resident is different. Therefore, different methods of action should take place, and knowing the appropriate places to refer someone is another way I can continue to grow. After taking the assessment on personal conflict management styles I learned more about how I deal with conflict. I learned that I am more likely to look past differences to save the relationship and I would opt for a calmer approach to conflicts when I notice there a difference between me and another individual. I am comfortable with managing

    I am the person who talks to the people in the grocery store line and leaves by having already given a verbal dissertation on my life or viewpoint. This is a downfall/habit I believe I learned from my family, I am the third generation of "20 Minute talks" I have an inability to stop talking or openly discussing with people. As I have learned to harness myself over the years, I see how it aids in my influencing people, because if someone hears something enough they will begin to believe in your vision or your observation. This also is my direct line to building trust, because it is not only spewing out words and explaining it is paired with listening and being attentive to what others are saying. I align everyday discussion with purposeful direct professional advices. Communication does help me with students when they are trying to explain something and lose words or cannot describe things, it helps them fill in blanks. In Physical Education it is key, I not only have to show visually the movements and actions but verbalize and communicate the sequences for students to use as guidelines for success. If my communication is not clear I had a bank of different word approaches to get through to students if it must be differentiated for them.

Secondly, not being afraid to ask for, and accept, constructive feedback from others will be a huge contributor to recognizing and following up with needs for improvement in any communication areas.
