The 5 ways for effective communication I will use.

I will fine the best way for each time I need to communicate to others effectively.

feed back

My take from this course is the timing involving the feedback, it is so important for the feed back is to be in timely matter, it depends on the urgency and the event, that triggers the feed back. and should be focused in the isuue away from any emotional factors, also when feed back, whether receiver or giver, should be well prepared and all information should be collected before is set forth, also some important factores should be taken into concideration like gender race, background and such.

Powerful Presentations

Public speaking can be terrifying! I liked the reminders to be prepared, review the material several times, and practice the presentation. 

Constructive feedback

This was an excellent tutorial! I loved the reminder to keep it positive in word, body language, and facial expressions. It's important to let employees know of a problem/concern right away so that is is fresh on the mind and the porblem can be taken care of right away. Constructive feedback is crucial and needed to ensure success in the workplace and to help employees improve and set reachable goals!

Great refresher 

Constructive Feedback

This was a great tutorial on giving feedback! It had many good points, such as, not waiting too long to give feedback, remaining engaged in the other persons comments, and not accusing or making assumptions. I recommend it!

A lot of great knowledge.

This tutorial has a lot of great points about communication in it. Both verbal and noverbal communication are important and should be used to complement each other instead of being used to contradict each other. Facial expressions are criticially important, which are what I will be working on most!!

Effective Presentations

This tutorial was helpful in that it talked about making sure to research the topic or topics you are going to be presenting and knowing key factors about the subject matter.  If a topic is too broad and has too much information, the audience tends to lose focus very quickly.  It's more important to stick to a smaller number of facts and keep the audience involved in the discussion.  I was also reminded to make eye contact, which I tend to struggle with.  Also, be prepared to answer questions and don't "fake" the answers.  If you don't have the answer,… >>>

Positive Feedback

I liked this tutorial as a good reminder to give positive feedback to students as soon as possible after they have done something well.  Also if they struggle with learning something, it's a good reminder to not put them down, but to always think of something positive to say to encourage them.  They are in a learning environment and they need constant positive reinforcement.

Good to reinforce the importance of well-written documents!

Learning.

I've always assumed that communication is communication, that if it was spoken it would be heard and understood.

I've learned that's not the case.

I plan to work and speak with others and learn with communication form is more affective, in hoping to reach more people and help them understand and allow me to learn from them as well.

Communication

I've never been the greatest at communication, but as each day passes and with a new job I've learned that communication is a necessity. 

I've learned that people are not always the same when it comes to communication and what can come across better for ones that doesn't come across well for others.

Each person is different and depending on what needs to be communicated there are certain forms of communication that work better.

being a good coach

Staying aware of problems , knowing your coworker or student in my case is one of my strenghts. Remembering that coaching is a two way process is a good reminder:)

written communication

I learned that reviewing and polishing such skills will benefit my written communications.
