Adapting Your Communication

It looks like you're using different methods to communicate with the visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Nice job! How can you incorporate more kinesthetic types of activities to help the 'doers' understand the concepts better?

Your Communication Methods

Our organization conducts admissions assessments around the country and you would be surprised at how many meetings are interrupted by in coming phone calls. I would imagine that your undivided attention during your appointments helps to make the student feel important. Great job! A visual reminder like a check list is also a great suggestion. Thank you for your post.

Communicating with Groups

Using your body language can help to connect when communicating with groups. Ideally, if you can position yourself to have the ability to make eye contact with each individual you will have the most success with effectively communicating with the group. Thanks Maureen!

Overlapping Styles

You bring up some very good points. The formula for communication relies upon the sender and the receiver understanding the same message. What you present in your post reminds us that it's actually the sender's responsibility to make sure that the receiver understands the message. Thank you for your post Michelle!

When You Are Listened To

Great observation. What do you think you can do when you're in a situation when you're not being listened to? I'm also curious if this awareness helps you to be a better listener.
