- · Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?
Yes, I communicate differently with people from
different groups and cultures.
- · If yes, in what ways do you communicate differently?
I communicate differently with different groups and
cultures by my tone of voices, facial expressions, and language. When I am at
work I talk with other teachers differently than talking with a parent. With
teachers I know well and are more comfortable around I would hold a conversation
with them without being professional. Communicating with parents I always smile
and try to always lead off a conversation with something positive. I feel
comfortable around people who are more like me where I joke, laugh and have fun
but when strangers or people different from me come around I seem to become
serious.
- · Three strategies you could use to help you communicate more effectively with the people or groups you have identified.
1. Listen
to what the other person or people are saying
2. Try
to understand what the other person or people are saying
3. Speak
in a clear, toned voice using correct language
Three good strategies! Within the groups of people at work I find that I communicate differently people that I have built a relationship with. I communicate differently with children, parents and staff. Your strategies work with all.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteNice post!
I also agree that when an individual needs to have a direct conversation with a parent, the means of providing that positive feedback is entirely essential. It can provide a more effective ground point that show parents concern and thoughtfulness. Listening is also a skill that requires the most effective way to communicate, because it allows others to reflect on the conversation and decipher the information that is provided within the initial conversation.

Great post I also liked your strategies. I also communicate differently with coworkers whom I have built a working relationship with. Even at home my conversations are totally different then when I am at work.
