Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
So, what I have learned about this topic is being able to 1. listen effectively 2. Respond approaitley 3. Ready Body Language 4. Ask questions 5. Seek common ground.
The main concept that I took away from this course was having the ability to listen and make sure that I hear everything the student is saying. I need to effectively listen because I need to know what program the student is thinking about enrolling.
There are 2 clue words: reflect and rephrase.
Be aware of your own body language when communicating with others. This is crucial since most of the way we communicate is through body language.
I have learned the importance of my tone over the phone and how it can convey information in a way that may not be taken how I would like to present it and that tone is just as important as body language when you can't see the person face to face.
Empathy v. Sympathy is something that comes easier to some than others and is always something to be practiced. Empathy leads to more understanding, connection, and rapport with people. It empowers others in a conversation. Gaining perspective and understanding people's differences shows and open mind and leads to better relationships.
I have to work on my body language. I do things unknowingly, sending mixed or the wrong messages to my audience.
Throughout this course I learned the importance of trying to understand my students' sentiments even if i do not agree. I was able to get a better grasp of thinking of the student first.
I learned that there are goals I can set for myself that will help me achieve improved communication skills by reflecting and rephrasing and getting in tune with others.
I like the statement, clarify the feelings behind the word and repeat, reflect. I think it’s a good practice as many of us are listening to respond more often than listening to understand and reflect. All of these are great communication practices that can produce healthier relationships.
Body language can say more than what your verbal words will.
Effective listening skills include listening without biases, asking open ended questions and reflecting upon what the individual has said to convey that you have been listening.
Body language and tone are very important in conveying your message to someone and interpreting what someone is trying to tell you.
be a good listener with our intruption, Respect studnet to feel confertable,ask open and close questiones, most important back to body language
aware of body language, knowing empthy and sympthy, make communication improvment
I've learned that not only your tone but your facial expressions, body language and attitude deeply effects how a person perceives you. This can cause someone to feel misunderstood or even negative about how they respond to you.
Listen, respond, read your audience, ask questions and be neutral with the students; when these behaviors and activities are applied, more can be accomplished.
Understanding Empathy and Sympathy to assist our students
Any time someone leans in to the conversation when we are speaking shows me that their body language is engaged into the conversation
