Improving My Interpersonal Communication Analysis

December 31, 2016 about 8 o’clock I got a text from my friend. It wasn't unusual because she always text me this late but this conversation wasn't like any conversation we had this conversation was spine chilling. She text me and said “Hey lamia can I use your Facebook for something” me being a good friend I am I gave her my password and thought nothing else about it. I was on the phone with my bestfriend when I get some messages from my friend,Kelly, that said “Wow” so I texted back and said “What?” But I never got a response little did I know this would be the end everything would change from the moment on. As days went on she started acting different by looking at my messages and not texting back. I saw her at the store and spoke to her

When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship. It might sound like an odd relationship to choose, seeing as he is an ex, and it might not sound like a good starting point, but let me first say he is one of my best friends right now.

Communication serves as a critical first impression when talking to professional figures. Growing up a basketball player, I have come across many adults who obtain a higher authority in athletics. My goal has always been to play college basketball and play professionally. Talking with these high level figures is very important to my success of becoming both. A time I communicated strongly was the first time I talked to my college recruiter. The effectiveness of my words helped to get my point across so that my recruiter could understand me in the manner as I intended. The conversation we had was very professional and the usage of my vocabulary and body language enhanced throughout the conversation. He was able to understand my intentions behind what I delivered to him so that we could have an ongoing conversation. Communicating with my recruiter showed him that I was capable to talk to him and others over him without having a mediocre conversation.

Throughout the semester my partner and I have learned more about each other such as our history and our plans for the future. We have also discovered how each of us like to communicate differently. The main things I have noticed is that every conversation is unique and they are not all going to need my advice or strong probing. By watching others, I have noticed this same trend. Each week tactics are changing depending on the situation.

Thank you for your interesting statement, “the qualitative approach to developing and using scenarios is intended to provoke insights through conversation and dialogue about the difficult issues facing the organization, and the often-opposing viewpoints on the issues that exist within the organization” (Chermack, 2006).

My perception of the effectiveness of the communication between the RN and the UAP was extremely poor and ineffective because not only did the RN automatically assumed that the UAP has performed the task of obtaining patient’s vital signs, the RN also assumed the UAP would know what to report and therefore he should just get the job done. Due to these assumptions, the RN failed to provide the UAP with an initial direction as far as what is expected of him, what to report and when to report it. The RN also failed to evaluate his skills and abilities to properly carry out the tasks, as well as his understanding of the task and why it is being done.

Competence, language, perception, and information are all barriers that can get in the way of effective interpersonal interactions. Any of these four barriers can cause an issue so great that effect communication is made impossible. All four parts must be met

The assessment pointed out the emotions I display often also fall under the category of expressing emotions effectively. I am often and comfortable with feeling enthusiastic, sentimental and affectionate.

I believe that I have learned a lot new things in this class. The book Interpersonal communication is divided into three main sections. Chapters range from 1 -4,5-8,9-12. The first four chapter are the basic underlying information on interpersonal communication. In these chapter, it talk about yourself and communicating with others. "Next, it tells us how we should listen, understand, and use interpreting in conversation with others"( Beebe, S. A., Beebe, S. J., & Redmond, M. V pg-119). Also, the different types of things we should pay attention to like gestures and body language. We should learn to put yourself in other people's shoes in conversations. Chapters 5 to 8 are on communication skills. This section tells us about skills that are

Interpersonal communication can be described as communication that occurs between two or more individuals. While communication can be either verbal, nonverbal, or written, interpersonal communication is more commonly practiced through face to face, verbal communication (Burton, 2011). The interpersonal communication process begins with a “sender”, which is the person that is communicating a message to another person. The “receiver” is the person that is retrieving the message from the sender. It is then the receiver’s job to interpret the message, and give feedback to the sender, allowing them to know that the message was received, and understood (Burton, 2011).

One of the most emotionally significant situations that happened to me was, finding out that my youngest son and another football team mate got into an altercation during a football practice. I arrived to pick up my son and found the coach speaking to him and another boy on the field. This conversation lasted at least 10 minutes so I knew that something must have happened. After the talk with the coach, my son came over to me in tears. I immediately felt protective of my son because he was obviously hurting. I asked him to tell me what had happened, but he was very overcome with emotion and unable to speak. I immediately felt anger that someone might have hurt my child either verbally or physically. My initial anger was at the coach, feeling
