It is important to determine which generation you are speaking to as to determine the most effective method of communicaiton. Older generations prefer phone calls or emails, where as younger generations prefer emails or text messages.
I have learned how to effectively communication wtih the different generations. When being responsible for outreach, I think it is important to keep in mind different generations have different preferences. Understanding the "why" behind this, helps you remember which platform to utilize.
It is intersting the different types of learning skills and communications skills.
Reply to Kawasi Sipp's post: I didn't realize that each generation had their preference.
I learned the different ways to commumnicate the different types of people. I guess i would be a Gen Z i rather text and email then talk on the phone.
How to communicate effectively with the different generations
I enjoyed reading about the average profile of the generations but overall, I found the communication exercise to be a bit black and white when really, communication is driven by the individual. I thought the questions were a bad example of testing our knowledge here.
We are so used to the traditional methods of communicating, so it is good to realise the different communiction styles of the generations. it definitely closes the 'gap' :-)
We have learned that many gernerations like to communicate thru text. We have found that to be a very beneficial aspect to communicating with potential students.
It's good to learn someone's preferred communication so you don't waste time waiting for a return phone call from those who do not even check their voicemail.
The correct form to communicate with differents generations.
this is a good learning too for every day life
It is interesting to find out what way students like to communicate with the faculty.
It is helpful and relatable what was tought in this chapter, in retrospect thinking about the students that I have interacted with., it makes sense the generational gap is directly related to generational gaps.
Learn and understand different commnunication preferrences for each generation.
It takes patience to learn and understand how to each with each generation. Understanding each generation and the way the communicate makes for effective communication with them
Communication is such a key element in dealing with people. Learning the best way to communicate with each generation can be a game changer whether it be dealing with students or colleagues
People do communicate in different ways but there are "norms" on how each generation does commuinicate
It is important to note that people may have different communication styles and best practice is to never assume.
