Think of blogs as self-published mini articles. Share your experiences and challenges. Share your successful and failed strategies. Share your proven techniques and best practices. And don’t forget to solicit comments from your peers so we can all learn from the collective knowledge and expertise of our thriving community.

This was a great reminder to choose the best method of communication for the situation. I have also noticed that using verbal and written communications together help me to convey the message I want to and allows those I am communicating with to interpret the message with the intended meaning. I liked to see the data backing up this observation.

You cannot grow relationships and be successful if you cannot listen . Being able to understand and practice certain technics can create strong bonds and grow you as person. When you cannot listen you cannot grow. 

Communication

I will provide various communication methods to work with students.  By providing specific instructions, I will be able to set clear expectations and give specific feedback.  

109 Feedback

When receiving feedback we should be all ears and take it with an open mindset. It is meant to help us perfect what we are doing. It is not a personal attack on what we do. It is an opportunity for improvement and sharpening our skills.

Active listening

So much of todays world is distracted by a multitude of things. Part of being an effective leader and better person is learning how to actively listen. This will help build relationships as well as help in day to day activities.

Visual aids are to supplement what you are trying to convey. The audience needs to be able to quickly understand it.

 

Non verbal ques can be a great help in conveying the importance of a topic. 

Meeting

Learning what are the best practices for group meetings are very important.  I believe very much in the preparation before group meetings and having strong leadership as well. There are many opportunities for group meetings to go "off the rails" and there is nothing worse than leaving a group meeting and not feeling accomplished. 

communication

Communication is important in all settings in your life. If you have questions, ask!

as a teacher and a coach, you have to communicate with the other teachers and coaches to let them know what the plan is and it will help prevent any miscommunication. 

With myself, I try my best to have great communication because I want them to know the information they need. 

If I am going to be late or gone, I make sure to let them know immediately

One of the best ways to tell if students are retaining the information you are giving them is by nonverbal communication. If a student is disintrested or not understanding, you will be able to see it before they are able to communicate it just by their body language.

If you are preparing to give a presentation, make sure you remember that audiences do not have a huge attention span- past ten minutes they start to tune out. Stick with what is crucial for them to know, do not bog everything down with fact after fact. 

nonverbal communication

The vast majority of what people communicate is nonverbal. It's important to be mindful and intentional with your words but also with how you present yourself nonverbally.

Communication

Positive and effective communication is important in the workplace because it helps relay information, build relationships, establish goals, and help with team building. 

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

I have learned that over many years communication is the key to success. What I have also learned is that how you communicate is also key as well. You cannot develop and grow in anything if there is no communication. Using Proper communication is very important as well an understanding when to use certain portals of communication

Communication

Be direct and intentional when communicating. Communication is vital for growth of an individuals and a company.

Active Listener

active listening is a fundamental skill and it involves giving your speaker a safe space to share their thoughts and show that you're listening by giving positive feedback.

CO101

I read that you need to make sure your method of delivery fits the situation. There is not a "one size fits all" for each situation, you need to find what method of communication works best for that specific situation. 

Active Listening

Active listeners are open minded and process what is being said to them before speaking out. 

CO103

Having a good and effective plan is important to the students retaining the information. Give the students the student their What is in it for Me? This will help give them purpose in the class and going forward. 

Prepare

Preparation is key in presentation

Communication

Be clear and concise when communicating.
