Competent Communicator

Communication is an important function that people take part in and being able to be effective communicator is a great achievement.  When I think of someone who is an effective communicator I think President Obama.  President Obama never seems nervous when he gives speeches.  His speeches are always easy to understand, he does not speak above your head.  He articulates his words well as he speaks he pauses appropriately.  In terms of his persona he gives off an air of confidence and intelligence.  He is always dressed appropriately.  He gives off an attitude that he really cares for the United States that why I always seem to feel confident about what he is communicating.   Another person I would describe as an effective communicator would be a Supervisor I had in my previous job.  She always gave me clear and precise instruction when she needed me to do something.  She always listened to her employees and would consider our suggestions after group meetings or one on one meeting.  She too gives you the feeling that she cares for her employees and the center, so I always felt comfortable with what she had to say.

I would love to acquire the skills of these two people in the area of communication.  They are both powerful and memorable communicators.  I think mastering the art of communication also involves listening and understanding the other person’s viewpoint.
