Self-Reflection
There are many things I have learned in this class in which I can apply to my life and my future goals. I have had the oppurtunity to create life experience by conducting the information I have learned in my own life. I have learned that communication has little to do with the act of just talking, but it is body language, listening, how you speak to people etc... How the receiver decodes the messages we send can have a drastic effect on how we intended them to decode it. There are so many factors that play in to the way we communicate and understanding those can help us a great deal in life. Learning to communicate properly and listen attentively can improve our relationships in our lives with family, loved ones, co-workers and supervisors. For example, how to deliver and receive constructive criticism was something i struggled with in the past, but from what I learned it can actually strengthen the relationship. Doing it correctly by considering the other persons feelings, the relationship the 2 of you hold, and how you deliver it can show the respect you have for them and that you want to help. I am now more confident when having to give or receive it now that i know how to deliver it by being sincere, not causing a fight and finding an agreeable solution for both parties.
