I can relate this outcome of the course to my work experience. I can think of a recent personal experience of me with an offshore resource working from India. Since me being onsite and have more insight into the project was presenting a project proposal to the team members including this guy that was working from India. The presentation concluded and the very next day I talked to him about the project. He did have a good understanding of the project and was technically capable of the completing the project. But, what I noticed was that he was not able to communicate clearly. It was important for us to know about the status of the project. The project was going well but I have that this guy was not providing us with any status of the work he has been completing. After I took this class I have learnt that it was important for me to have him present the proposal from next time onwards which might help him increase his communication skills thus benefiting the

As I planed to take this class, I thought this course would be like all other general education courses. I believed that it would be of little use to me. However, after attending the first class, my view has changed completely. I applied each and every theory to my life.
Through the process of acquiring knowledge in this course, I have learned countless aspects about my own self. Amidst the very challenges I faced, the act of communication, management, and leadership, are among them. Being bilingual, my communication skills are on par yet at times hinder me from articulating my intention precisely as I have meant them. With every socialization I have made, I have striven to do better and to be better. I have learned that although you may consider yourself “fluent” in a foreign language, there are phrases or intonations to which come across as something entirely different from what you intended to say causing the message to be lost between the barrier of the two communicators.
Therefore, I hope that I can achieve many new valuable experiences as well as friendships through this class. As a student, I believe I have the responsibilities to pay attention in class, and contribute to the class as much as I can. Besides, I need to ensure that I finish homework before coming to class and seek for help when needed. My goal is to become a successful business woman, who has the opportunities to work with different countries and cultures around the world. I am confident that this class will help improving my analytical and organizing skills, which are helpful and beneficial for my career in the
I understand that communication styles change greatly from person to person. Recently, I have found myself caught in the mix with someone who really lacks communication skills, and could greatly benefit from a course like this one. On the flip side, I am lucky enough to deal with someone who I have personally experience great communication from. Though, I do think that everyone has their own ideas of what “good” communication is.

I strongly believe that the class, HD341 Communication for Empowerment fulfill my goals in taking this class because it is giving me many opportunities to make connection with other classmates.

Managerial communication and skills is the subject that needs to be legitimately comprehended and consolidated into each organization. I accept that working ordinarily for an organization might be some piece of life, however fit to deal with our work with successful correspondence and aptitude is an Art of Living.

It’s always good to ask questions to clarify anything. Once all the facts are established, I know that I should assess them. Finally I am able to assert a carefully thought out opinion (3). After taking these steps can be sure my opinion is right and not just for me personally, but regarding others too.
