Perceived Communicator

I was intrigued that my husband perceived me as a more situational anxious communicator and my mother perceived me as a smooth, confident communicator. I found myself right in the middle, according to  Rubin, R. B., Palmgreen, P., & Sypher, H. E. (Eds.) (2009). Communication research measures: A sourcebook. New York: Routledge. I the analyzed this to reflect how and what I share with them. Also how I am comfortable being or portraying myself in various relationships.

I found that I do allow my empathy and trust to cloud my judgment of the situation at hand. This is an area that I aim to work on so I can be an effective communicator in my work as a trainer and presenter in the early childhood field. I also affirmed that I am people oriented and genuinely empathetic, I also hope to maintain this listening style yet to use it as a strength in providing support and guidance.
