Letter of Advice Hanna Ah-Mai COM 200: Interpersonal Communication Professor Robert Givenrod November 19, 2012 Letter of Advice Dear Tim and Sandy, God is good! All the time! Hello guys, hope you receive this advice letter and enjoy reading it. Remember I mentioned in our fellowship about my course I am taking right now (Interpersonal Communication) this course has helped me and my relationship build what was lacked and my and husband and I are getting back in track like it used to be. In this life we always have our ups and downs when it comes to communication.
I think the humanistic-encouraging trait is important because like any other leader, people must trust you, set goals that are attainable, learn how to resolve issues in a constructive manner, and encourage your followers. I enjoy listening to people’s problems and helping them think positive and find the healthiest or best solution. I am normally the person my friends come to when they need to talk to someone. I believe as a manager a person must have a sense of how a person is and deal with each person individually if needed so each person as an understanding of what is the mission is. Controlling as a manager is something I believe I will have to work on.
Also, the teacher wants to tell her to enjoy it on top of to believe it. The speaker further states, “That changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.” The word choice of the speaker shows that he is a decent man with good thoughts to help his student. He tried his best to help Lilly when her classmates are making funs of her. He even named the poem “Like Lilly Like Wilson”. It seems like he did it on purpose so he can tell the story behind the title and show why he named the title this way.
Know what you believe in and be gracious in conversation with others. Listening to other viewpoints does not mean you agree but you may be able to understand how the other person feels. I feel taking the time to listen quietly to others is a first step in our private lives to prevent arguments or heated debates. I was checking the Thesaurus for ideas on replacement words for this essay and ironically enough this is what I found: discussion= conversation, debate, argument, dialogue, chat, talk Argument= quarrel, fight, disagreement, dispute, row, spat, squabble, contention This is amazing, apparently we can choose different words but all comes full circle and we land back in the argument culture. The first step is to follow Tannin's advice and stop and look at all sides.
I can do this by further studying verbal communication and the ways in which it can be improved; I can then practice my new communication skills by talking with people. I will know that I have reached my verbal communication improvement goal when I can fluently converse with others without becoming flustered by my lack of communication skills. I spend most of my time with my co-workers as I work often. There is a specific co-worker who I have explained my communication struggles with, and we often laugh about it together. She is who will be holding me accountable to improve my communication skills.
Faber has a tremendous effect on Montag. Montag knows that he must find himself a teacher, and that teacher is Faber. Faber gives Montag a device he has created, a small earpiece that allows him to listen to what is going on and to respond to the person who is wearing the earpiece. He gave it to Montag because Montag asked for support in dealing with Captain Beatty, who he knew could beat him down mentally. With this device Faber said he could help Montag and still remain safely at home.
In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others.
The goals that were talked about in earlier sessions are beginning to be embraced by the client, who is questioning the counsellor more, in an effort to start the changes. Words like “so when are we goal setting please?” And “I really feel you’re helping me see the light” are also affirming statements. Along with this, the client’s appearance may have changed, as may their facial expressions. The positive-ness with which they are starting the sessions also are a dead giveaway. The client may also come to the sessions having drawn up their own plans for progressing.
After reading something, summarize it and read it aloud to yourself. A Kinesthetic learner is more like an hands-on learner and most likely love to move around frequently, like athletics, and to build things with their hands. It’s hard for some people that are more of an Auditory or Kinesthetic learner because most companies and schools leans towards to the people whose highest learning style preference is visual. But we should all be grateful for our talents we are all unique in our own ways. The best way for a person to learn their own learning style depends on the person.
We try to make eye contact without staring, don’t show distaste or boredom by yawning, frowning, shifting my weight, crossed arms, roving eyes, looking away, interrupting, talking in a loud, angry or monotone voice, etc. We minimize profanity and off-color jokes to not offend others. We choose our personal behavior based on whether it is private, school and/or work behavior by our choice of language, intimacy, politeness, jokes, etc. Things we will say to close family and friends in private differs from what we will say on the job or at school (or on the
