Listening involves several factors

I need to not pseudo listen, I am very guilty of doing this. 

Effective communication practices

I too agree with the other writers that to be an effective communictor you have to listen. We need to stop talking so much, and take the time to clear our minds, this allows us to be able to listen to someone else. We should  allow the speaker to completely express themselves, before we response. Then you want to summarize, what you have heard., before responing. This lets the speaker know that you were listing, and it provides clarifty to the converstation, and makes for a more appropriate response.

Presentation Preparedness

I agree with the training in that it is important to be confident in the subject that you are presenting to minimize anxiety.

Communication

I am usually good at receiving feedback, but in the most recent event, I did let my emotions get in the way and can see how that can make a big difference on what you hear.  I understand how these courses are good little reminders.

Communication

I need to remind myself that I am here to support the instructors.  I tend to want to help and solve the problem.  Thus the instructors do not feel supported even though that is my goal.

Communication

I believe is meeting with the clinical instructors face to face to provide information.  It would be best, to meet with them other than during their clinical day.  That would allow the opportunity to spend more time with them versus talking to them briefly and potentially rushing so that they can get back on the floor with the students.  Following up with them is also a good practice to see if they have further questions.

When giving feedback, making sure the instructor understands all information is to support them and inprove both their and the students learning experience.

Active listening

It is important for me to remember to focus on the conversation at hand, slow down and not worry about what's coming next.

Avoid too much information on one powerpoint slide

I realize that I need to go back to some of my powerpoints and simplify them.

Communication for Results

I learned that it is important to get feedback from faculty when deciding to make departmental changes rather than to just present the change and then leaving.

Excellent!

Always good to learn something new, great communications skills are the key to success

The right values

Effective communications are the key to success in any type of environment. This enforce the qualities and values of respect, tolerance and empathy for another human being with the same situations and rights.

The role of the feedback giver.

As feedback giver, I have learned how to make the receiver understand the process for better results.

WOW!!!

I FINISHED!!! Great content and useful tools.

Communication

I learn that communication is a two way process and it must followed through the hierarchy of command either upward or down ward levels ensuring the validity of its methods used for transmission that everybody understand what the implications of each messages. It should be perceived professionally with facts rather than targetted personally on a different perspective. Go Back to self checks on how we response on them. Short and concise topic but amazing information to learn...

Great course

Although we strive to focus our emotions positively, it's a good reminder to keep our soft skills in check. I am an empathetic listener.

Reminders to myself

These are all practices that I try to use always, but it helped to remind me of the importance of listening with the right mindset, reinforces what I already do most of the time!

Presentations

Content information of the presentation must be known 

Writting process

Comminication skills when you think you know it all
