Blog Assignment: Evaluations and Surprises

What surprised me the most after looking over the evaluations is that I am considered a people person, which is the contrary to those who really know me. I have always disliked being in the spotlight and being around people I do not know, and so when the evaluations concluded that I was people-oriented that took me off guard and got me curious about how I am people oriented. I also learned from the evaluations that communication affects my relationship and allowed my girlfriend and I to see that I shut down quite frequently and at times do it out of habit. I also learned that nonverbal behaviors also influence how others perceived me and influence how effective I am in communicating with those around me. I hope this course will continue to allow me to grow in insight on how to become a better communicator. I hope that the newfound knowledge that I have will allow me to be better equipped to communicate with the different family dynamics and families of the new generations

    Finding out that others considered me a people oriented person was a surprise to me as well. It is interesting to find out that our own personal perspectives of ourselves can sometimes be complete different when another person views them.

  3. Shakeema,

    I was also surprised by the answers on my evaluation. When you think you know yourself well your surprised when someone else views your differently. I have learned that I am a better communicator than I thought.
