I am very glad to talk about my strengths and weakness as an effective communicator and the rewards gained for my best performance. A good communicator is a person who has all the qualities and keeps certain values and standards for their practice. Good communication skills are important to have, but it is not that easy. I believe that I do have certain qualities and I follow my values and standards as an effective communicator.
I believe that I have a number of good qualities that makes me an effective communicator. The highlighted quality among those is my listening skills. First, it was very hard for me to listen to a person for a long time and I seem to be distracted in between. Now I am very happy to say that I can listen to anyone and …show more content…

I feel blessed for that. My friends wonder how it becomes possible. The eye-to-eye contact itself shows the interest and personal readiness and willingness for effective communication. According to me, an individual’s mind can read from the eyes, the sadness, happiness, anger, depression and so on. Eye-to-eye contact ensures interest and encourages the partner to respond as expected. It is the fact those who fail to maintain eye-to-eye contact have had some sort of behavioral amenities. Those who are confident and have truth in their practice never fail to keep eye-to-eye contact in their …show more content…

I can handle any major problems how severe that may be. Being a nurse, decision-making skill of mine helped me to secure many lives. Moreover, the authorities for taking correct and appropriate decision on time granted me many times.
On the other hand, I do have many negative. The one that I have noted and noticed by others is my habit of interrupting before completing a talk by the second party. If some thoughts or points come to me In between, until I put that forward I will not feel comfortable. This breaks the continuity of conversation and then the second party has to struggle.
Another major drawback is poor emotional stability. I feel sad for others and I cannot see someone crying in front of me for any reason. I find it difficult to identify the naturality and reliability of the topic. Therefore, I faced many problems and difficulties while handling problems that touch the heart. I am short tempered and my mood alters

  • Michael Argyle's Theory Of Interpersonal Communication

    296 Words  | 2 Pages

    This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking.

  • Self Hypnosis: Skills Training Approach

    Self Hypnosis Taking a skills training approach, I train my clients in self-hypnosis, what are essentially self-help techniques. The techniques used are based on validated research findings, which reveal that problems or disturbances are consequences of destructive and problematic forms of self-hypnosis. Self hypnosis is that internal chattering or self-talk which we all experience in our minds. It can be referred to in a number of ways including cognitions, autosuggestion, self-talk, self-suggestion, self-statements, self-instructions, automatic thoughts etc. Too frequently, internal hypnotic-like talk, these self-suggestions which drive us, influencing our emotions and behaviour, remains for the most part unchallenged.

    These seemingly small gestures display an air of friendliness, caring, and approachability, which can go a long way toward making a patient feel safe. When you maintain eye contact with a patient, you continue to foster trust and respect as your relationship progresses. It's also important to respect a patient's boundaries. Some patients feel comforted when their hand is held or they are offered a hug, while other patients may find these actions uncomfortable. Always respect differences in personality and cultures.

  • Communication In Dentist Communication Skills

    There were also occasions where the dentist did not look at the patient at all since he/ she was either busy finishing up on the clinical notes for the previous patient or busy roaming through the attendance book when the patient enters the room. Both the duration of a single glance and the frequency of looks dedicated to the patient are crucial in maintaining communication through eye contact. The patient will have an impression that the dentist is neglecting what he/she feels during the dental procedure if the dentist only focuses on the inside of the mouth, equipments, dental assistant's work and avoids looking at the patient's face. A good dentist should be able to notice the current mental state of the patient just by looking at the patient’s facial expression, for example if the patient avoids eye contact as he/she feels uncertain, anxious for dentist's prescribed treatment, frequently blinks due to fear or immediately closes his/her eyes due to pain.

  • Garfinkeling: A Cultural Analysis

    1058 Words  | 5 Pages

    Within different cultures, members follow a set of strict rules that must be carried out properly when interacting with one another although they are not aware of these unspoken rules. One can become more aware of these actions when he steps out of the procedures set by his culture and behave opposite of what is expected in his culture. The act of behaving in an unexpected manner that is opposite of the norm to elicit a response is known as “Garfinkeling”, named after Harold Garfinkel (Agar, 1994, p.169). By Garfinkeling, I was able to demonstrate how eye contact and the lack of it can disrupt the sign that it carries of paying attention and also interrupt the symbolic system that takes place when asking for assistance. When Michael Agar (1994) speaks of a “sign”, he explains that it is made up of two parts, the “signifier” and the “signified”.

    Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues.

    Eye contact also plays a vital role in effective communication. There are times when we experience words that come out of our mouth and the ways we communicate through our body language are totally different. In this kind of situation, the receiver has to determine whether to believe verbal or nonverbal message. Regularly the receiver would select the nonverbal as it is more natural and it truly displays the speaker’s true feeling and intention. The gestures such as the way we sit, how fast and how loud we talk and how much eye contact we make send strong messages to the receiver.
