The results of my Insightfulness snapshot in Appendix A indicate that I am normally excellent at understanding what people have to say although there can be circumstances I misread what the sender is saying and I contract the wrong impression. My snapshot of Self-Disclosure in Appendix B explains that I am occasionally open with my friends but I do not constantly share each personal detail with them. I would agree with most of these results because of the type of person I am and the relationships I have formed. I definitely concur that the majority of the time I have an excellent idea of what people are communicating to me, although there is the odd instance I am completely mistaken with my judgment. I would say predominantly I am well aware of what people are communicating. Furthermore I am an empathetic person and I know when I need to adjust my behavior to suit the situation accordingly. I agree with the snapshots and with time I believe both the messages I send will improve and the messages I receive will have more meaning and use to how I carry myself throughout diverse situations. In regards to self-disclosure I would agree and disagree with a few of the points made. I from time to time allow my friends in on my emotions and feelings, but I also think I have a good balance of sharing only what is necessary towards building a better relationship. There are a number of people in my life who I am close with but do not feel the need to share my intimate thoughts with. This is mostly because I have a small yet powerful support system already and I do not feel the need to have that closeness with all the friends.

Such activities include creating and facilitating relationships, accomplishing work goals, and influencing organizational or unit processes (Keyton, Caputo, Ford, Fu, Leibowitz, Liu & Wu, 2013, pg. 153).” By constructing stronger relationships at work with patients and coworkers this will help accomplish goals more efficiently which will benefit the whole team. These are all steps that will help strengthen both my personal and professional relationships.
I am the person who talks to the people in the grocery store line and leaves by having already given a verbal dissertation on my life or viewpoint. This is a downfall/habit I believe I learned from my family, I am the third generation of "20 Minute talks" I have an inability to stop talking or openly discussing with people. As I have learned to harness myself over the years, I see how it aids in my influencing people, because if someone hears something enough they will begin to believe in your vision or your observation. This also is my direct line to building trust, because it is not only spewing out words and explaining it is paired with listening and being attentive to what others are saying. I align everyday discussion with purposeful direct professional advices. Communication does help me with students when they are trying to explain something and lose words or cannot describe things, it helps them fill in blanks. In Physical Education it is key, I not only have to show visually the movements and actions but verbalize and communicate the sequences for students to use as guidelines for success. If my communication is not clear I had a bank of different word approaches to get through to students if it must be differentiated for them. For many years I have had administrators tell me I over-communicate, verbally, email, and memos. Which is a great thing

The average worker spends two-thousand and eighty hours a year at their place of employment. Communication within the workplace is often overlooked or not given as much importance as most people should allow, given the amount of time that is spent there. Beyond the more basic verbal speech, one must be aware of the nonverbal symbols and noise that can have an effect on communication. There are also cultural, environmental and internal factors that can effect communication and how successful it can be. The various perceptions that an individual has developed over their life can also effect communication. One’s ability to communicate effectively will determine the success and enjoyment that is to come from their job.
The world is full of psychos and you might be with one right now. That's a situation more people encounter. There are many factors in a healthy relationship. Being with someone can be a wonderful experience, but it can change into something worse. A friend I talked to said "me and my boyfriend talk a lot and tell each other how we feel."

Couples also need to be honest, which can give couples a bond and develops trust. The elements of a healthy relationship are: being able to communicate, being honest with each other and having a good strong friendship.
I feel that that the best way to persuade people is with your ears — by listening to them. Feeling this way, I based my personal communication ethic on listening. If all you do is talk, then you probably don't have too many friends. I know that when I am interrupted in mid-sentence I feel like punching the other person. I feel as if the other person doesn't give a care in the world about what I think, and not only does that take away any respect I had for that person, but it hurts my feelings.

Lots of people thinks that they know themselves very well; they have a right way of communication, they know how to listen and respond to others, even emotional intelligence. Is this what you thought? I did. However after I have done my observe behavior interview to my friends, I believe that self-reflection is important to everyone to understand and improve our own communication styles.
Improving my communication skills has been a work in progress starting back in the early years of my life. I have always been my own worse critic. Usually beating myself down through interpersonal communication. Now as an adult I have made great improvements but still have trouble dealing with perception and self-image. Not being raised in an environment of positive reinforcement and poor communication in the workplace I have made it a point to change that trait in my own family and professional environment.
Communication is important in relationships as it allows us to share our interest, concerns, support each other; organize our lives and make decisions; and it allows us to work together. Effective communication is based on the way we talk and listen, how we respond and our body language. We can all learn how to improve the way we communicate.

Throughout the chapter, we learned that we can measure how partners understand their reactions to one another by using the talk table (Bradbury & Karney, 2014, p. 338). This table has helped partners gain understanding about one anothers reason of a certain behaviors. Also, according to Bradbury & Karney (2014), "By comparing each partner's rating of impact, the talk table helps identify the extent to which each partner is successfully getting their point across" (p.338). Although, many may not think communication is key in a relationship, I do. Because, if your partner does not explain why he or she is upset, how would you know what was bothering them. As we look at this situation, we see that when one of them speaks, the other partner only
Electronic devices shook the developed world with the development, expansion, and recent advancement of such devices. The use of electronic devices strengthens the most important aspects of our experiences and relationships. This idea is best supported by many uses of electronic devices, predominantly communication. The reason communication, the fundamental feature of electronic devices, is so beneficial to our most important aspects of our experiences and relationships is that communication is a central aspect to those same experiences and relationships. The benefits electronic devices provides, through communication, is greatly expanded when looking to the extremely wide numbers of users of these electronic devices.
