This model help me to understand the differences of both sympathy and empathy.
This section really helped me to understand the difference between sympathy and empathy because the two can be so close that it is hard to determine the difference.
This module expanded my knowledge on the correct ways to communicate my body language and how to understand others body language.
This module really expanded on listening skills that will help your communication and relationship with other. Listening effectively and reading body languages is what I enjoyed the most.
effective listening and responding appropriately is so inportant
I am sure my body language send mix messages as well as my tone.
Understanding the difference between sympathy and Empathy, rephase to ensure that you are clearly understood, and careful of your body language knowing that it speaks for itself.
I have learned about the 5 principles of communication which is to listen effectively, respond appropriately, read body language, ask questions to clarify, and seek common ground. I have also learned how to read the body language. I intend to ask questions to clarify.
I understand now how important body language is and how it'll help me connect with my student.
I didn't know how important the reading of the body language was. All the principles are important of course, but we (as admissions) we need to use this principle as the second tool after effective listening.
These principles are very elementary to be able to identify and treat each of the students better and in a very holistic way to manage each person efficiently and effectively
Sympathy and empathy are very different, but very valuable to effective listening.
It is imperative we avoid the Why word with our students as they can take it the wrong way and it can be taken offensive by them.
The importance of listening and recapping students' goals not our goals. Reading body language and not forming opinions on what students are saying.
Asking open and ended questions, listening carefully, body language and reflecting and recapping what student has said to remind their goals. Also, we shouldn't form opinions on how a student is dressed or what the student says. Seek to understand.
A lot of what was covered is information I already know but it was good to get affirmation that I understand communication pretty well. The principles that stood out the most for me were that's it's very important how you ask questions. You don't want to cause someone to become defensive. The other principle is body language. I feel like I may need to be more aware of mine.
I have learned to differentiate between empathy and sympathy and to be aware of circumstances that may contribute to the unique perspective of others.
Try to be actively listening to a person's response instead of partially hearing and thinking of a reply ahead of time.
Body Language is 55% of how communication is interpreted. Making the student feel comfortable is an important aspect of the connection process. Being aware of body language is pertinent for establishing the goal of agreement.
