I work with a person that is able to pull a stressful
conversation into a positive problem solving meeting. My administrator, Haley is an outstanding
speaker. She holds a particular tone
that makes you look at her while speaking that holds your attention. Haley makes side bar, appropriate jokes that ease
the sting of certain challenging behavior that their child is exhibiting that
for anyone else that would be sharing would probably get a negative response
from the parents. I have found myself
picking up her speaking habits that have worked to my advantage. Being an effective communicator is just as
important as being an expert in the field you work in. I will continue to take notice to Haley and
how she communicates with everyone around her.
I am a good communicator in my field, but being a GREAT communicator is
where I want to be at very soon. I am
thankful to have one of the best communicators working side by side with me
daily.
Hi Crissy,
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling when someone gain your attention with words. Sounds like you found a great model to get you to a Great communicator. I feel eye contact is also apart of how things play a role of being a good listener. As teachers it’s always good to find news ways to keep a conversation going and make it effective. Good post!!
