Final Written Assignment: Personal Communications Improvement Plan

Learning to avoid conflicts with many individuals, especially with co-workers, and many of
higher authorities can be a difficult problem to understand, especially when you are a
youngster. Jumping into conclusions and not listening to words being said was a major problem,
then later as I grew older, I unlearned and learned newer ways and ideas to better see my
blurred vision and deal with people of many background and cultural life styles. I got burnt
several times because I was hard headed and became consumed by my own beliefs that I was
always right; that led a final say so in my judgment call; relearning to communicate with people.
One basic understanding was that I was capable in some areas and limited in others. For
example, a barrier in which was noticeable in the way I spoke, and it was brought to my
attention years back by a manager who advised me that I was taking it the wrong way, that I
needed to chill out. It makes a lot of sense because I can relate my experience in others who
struggle in that same way. Logically, it became an informative message to see myself in a
mirror.
Having to or avoiding a conflict with the opposite gender has not been a real issue with me.
When there is one just around the corner and I am in control of our environment, maintaining a
sound tone of voice and not show aggressiveness or weakness is not a good thing. A relaxed
mode is good for me. According to chapter four, Verbal and Nonverbal Messages- states that
women, as a child learn a different tone of language in which they utilized as an expressive tool
that articulates emotions.Genderlectsis the word given as a dialect to distinguish the way
men and women communicate. Men on the other hand do not have the same character; they
are comfortable with facts, informations, and knowledge, rather focused on feelings and
emotions.
Taking this Communication class has sent me into another direction of realization; not that I
am not the best communicator, but I try the best I can. I get along with anyone who enters my
area of thought and operation. He/she who may have a points of view to discuss, it is my
pleasure to listen and speak out the minds. We all have a mission. As humans, we own to each
other good treatment of dignity and respect-- weaved into many events and avenues, they are
complicated for many; hard to comprehend and can react with rage and fire if misunderstood.
And it is why some would rather stay at ease or neutral status, rather to get involved in
situations of hostility.
