The person I feel that is a competent communicator is one of my retired coworkers. He retired from the police department after twenty years of service. He doesn’t do a lot of public speaking now. However one of the assets that he possessed that makes him a competent communicator is that he is able to command a room in a public speaking setting. As he speaks people are engaged and seem to be extremely interested in what he has to say. Every time I have heard him speak I was able to take something positive from the environment. Strangely enough it does not matter about the topic of discussions as he speaks seemingly everyone listens. Many people have echoed my same feeling in the law enforcement community as well as those that were not a part of this environment. He makes his presentation plain and easy to follow without being extremely long winded. Additionally, he appears very confident by his demeanor. Another asset he possesses is he stays on topic I have never witness him deviating from the topic unless question from the audience lead him in that direction.
I would love to acquire some of his communication skills. I feel that it is great to complete a speaking task that allows the group to feel fulfilled and not lacking regardless of the topic. Those are great characteristics of a competent communicator.
Kvonya,
ReplyDeleteYour co worker possess great communication characteristicslike the confidence and the ability to keep people interested and engaged while comunicating with them. Thank you for sharing and hope that we all become competent communicators at the end of this course.
Kvonya,
ReplyDeleteIt takes a special person to command a room the way your co-worker does! It is obvious you have a great deal of respect for him and his ability to speak publically. Public speaking is not something everyone feels comfortable with; even less people do it well!
Thank you for sharing,
Teri
Kvonya,
ReplyDeleteYour co-worker sounds like a special person. Not everyone can do well with speaking to crowds of people. I think it is a special trait when individuals are able to capture the audiences attention and use their time speaking efficiently without deviating from the subject or topic of discussion. It is also great to have speakers speak in lament terms!
