When I think of individuals that demonstrate competent communication, the person that comes to mind is my flight chief. He always represents himself in a professional, confident manner while making one feel at ease during the entire conversation. His ability to actively listen, ask questions and give answers is part of his success as an effective communicator.
I have taken many communication techniques both verbal and non-verbal from my daily interactions with him, he has been a great role model. I tend to communicate my frustrations through non-verbal cues, I am learning to not allow my body language to be an expression of negativity.
Your flight chief sounds like a great person. The kind of communication skills he have is what is needed in the classroom. As a teacher I know that my students behavior is based off my mood that I have during that particular day.

ReplyDeleteThe support you are receiving from your flight chef sounds like a great communicator and listener. In my program I am I'm the teacher with most years of experience and education. My colleagues often come to me for advice and that listening ear, Unfortunately, Most days I am operating on autopilotI am not able to give them my full attention and listen effectively.
