This week you will complete your reflective assignment by thinking about what you've learned in your textbook readings and the unit resources.

Julia T. Wood writes that we often think about communication as talking, but listening is also part of the process. When people don't listen well on the job, they may miss crucial information that can impact their performance. In our personal lives, ineffective listening may cause misunderstandings.

Instructions:

For this reflective assignment, answer the following questions:

• How can you become a more effective listener?
• How can becoming a better listener help you manage conflict or relationships, both in your personal and professional life?

Requirements: 

• The assignment should be reflective of a personal thought and experiences and do not require citations or incorporation of unit resources or materials.
• Because this is a reflective assignment, your grade will be based on completion rather than content quality.

Text book: Wood, J.T. (2017).  Communication in our lives (8th ed.).  Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning.
