It sounds as if you work with a variety of generations in the workplace. Now that you've picked up some knowledge on how each generation is unique, how specifically will you use what you've learned to improve communication?
Discussion Comment
Great observations, Irene! It appears you are looking (and listening) for the real messages being sent from your students. If you see that they aren't interested, what can you do?
It sounds as if your phone personality is a great mix of listening with intent vs. being distracted. That's very important and usually is quite distinguishable from the other side of the phone. I'm curious though, how will you know the best option for the student?
It sounds as if you've experienced some of the fallout from poor leadership. Even though it sounds unpleasant, the good thing is you seemed to have learned a lot from this experience. What might be a way to counteract management's actions to build a team and motivate them in a single direction even when not in charge?
Very good observations, Sarah!
I'm seeing two things here that you do, Sarah. First, it appears you read your audience. That's excellent and so important. The second thing is you react to the signs by doing something differently. If they aren't responding, you use different "tools" such as hand gestures, eye contact and smiling. Question is how do you know when it's working?
Great insights, Allan! Sometimes we forget what it's like on the other side of the phone.
Which obstacles are most difficult for you to overcome on the phone and how do you plan to improve your response?
Yes, distance can definitely be a callenge to coming in for a visit. Your approach is quite interesting, too. I'm curious how you know which features and benefits to provide them in order to increase motivation?
These are very interesting questions Allan. What information does this provide you?
