Who Am I as a Communicator

 
Communication is teamwork!



I was surprised and elated that what I tried to portray as a communicator also shined through to others.  Each person that took the survey answered the questionS exactly as I did.  I was afraid that perhaps I had conjured up this wonderful communicator by the name of Sauda Mujahid, so as I examined the results of the survey, I was happy that others saw in me the same light.
I listen empathically and try to connect with my parents, children, staff, and colleagues.  I respect the people that I communicate with, and respect everyone’s point of view.  If I am in disagreement with someone’s views I do not attack their character, I challenge their position, not the person
The verbal aggressiveness scale was unanimously scored by the three of us.   I maintain a good balance and consideration for others.  Their viewpoint is important to me.
The insights that I gathered from this exercise are; one, communication is important to everyone concerned, two whether we are aware or not aware we are being judged.

  1. Sauda,

    That's amazing! My results were similar, but I found that I was much harder on myself than others were. This was a great process. Thank you for sharing.

  2. I think that it is great that your peers had the same answers as you. I think this shows that you use the same communication style no matter what situation you are in. You don't let a person's culture, stressful situations, or other factors influence you.

  3. Isn't it great when others see you as you see yourself! I had the same results and I was very happy. It was a great assignment!!

  4. I find it interesting that so many of us evaluated ourselves in line with what others see us as. I always thought I put up a front for other people but apparently I allow more of myself to shine through than I thought and it seems the same goes for you. You are truly an effective communicator and it is evident in your writing!
