Who I am as a Communicator

I was pleasantly surprised to see that those that rated me as a communicator came up with similar ratings as I did.  The one that was different, but in a good way, was the communication anxiety.  I rated myself as mild, but my friends and colleagues rated me as low.  This shows that I do not come off as nervous as I may feel.

My verbal aggression was rated as moderate, but this is something I would like to work on.  I know there are situations where my emotions get the best of me, and I need to work on that.  I would like to also work on communication as a leader, because I hope to become a child advocate leader someday.

Do I Communicate Well?

I think that I communicate about the same with people, regardless of their background.  This is not necessarily a good thing, I just realized.  I may speak to everyone the same way, without taking into account their culture.  I may inadvertently offend someone.  But as far as my behavior, I act the same around people.

I do however tend to communicate badly when I get upset.  In order to help combat this, I need to step back from the situation and really look at how bad it may or may not be.  I also need to remember to have respect for the other person, even if I don't feel like showing respect, I know I would be the bigger person to do so.
