Unlocked: Sunday, June 7, 2020 12:00 AM MDT - Saturday, June 13, 2020 11:59 PM MDT. Must post first. Overview Identifying our flaws and weaknesses can be hard. Ultimately though, we can never improve unless we first figure out what we are doing wrong. Earlier this module, you researched effective interpersonal communication and created a list of important skills. Now, you will analyze your own communication abilities and use this information to create a plan to work on the areas in which you need to improve. Think of King George in the movie clip; he is very aware of his stutter, which is the first step to solving the problem. This is your opportunity to be honest and open with yourself so you can practice your interpersonal skills throughout the course. You know what they say: practice makes perfect! You should spend approximately 3.5 hours on this assignment. Instructions Using the list of traits of effective interpersonal communicators that you developed in the first discussion board, rank your current ability on each item. Use this ranking system to rank your current ability: I never use this skill/I am poor at this skill Rarely Sometimes Most of the time Always Consider the items you ranked as 1, 2, or 3. How important are those traits in your life? Why are they important or unimportant? Be honest with yourself! Only you will see your personal rankings; you do not need to share your rankings on the discussion board. In your post, list at least four items you will commit to work on over the length of this course. Explain why you have chosen these items, using information from your rankings and your determination of their importance. Include some preliminary ideas for how you will improve these traits, both in your personal life and professional life. Comment on the post of two students who have chosen to improve the trait(s) on which you ranked yourself highly. What suggestions can you make to help them achieve their goals? Remember that these should be useful suggestions; you are not attempting to fix anything for your classmate. Use I statements rather than You statements. For example: I have found that talking in a calm voice is essential to resolving conflict. Be respectful! Follow the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would like to be treated. Make sure you are following the Netiquette Guide found in the Syllabus section. Now, go out and practice. Keep track of what you practice, when you practice (time and date), who you practiced with, what strategies you used when you practice, and the outcome of that practice. Keep track in a Word document and attach your practice results to your original discussion post. There should be at least five practice entries per module. You will ADD ON to each Module. I cant wait to hear about your challenges and successes! Please see sample of how to format your practice log (provided in content). Submit your Practice Log in a Word Document (to your original discussion post). Sample of how to format practice log (Need 5 examples please). Friendly Reminders: First (original) discussion post due no later than Wednesday; Final responses to two peers due no later than Saturday. You can always post early, but please make sure that you post three times on at least two separate days. Supportive evidence (Terminology, Definitions, quotations, etc.) and in-text citations (in APA format) should be posted in bold font and in the original post. Need three posts on two separate days please. Cite at least three sources in order to receive full credit. At the end of your post, include your references in APA Style. Need help?
