The person that I believe that demonstrates competent communication is the President of the United States Barack Obama. The reason that I feel and state this is because when he speaks it is clear concise, and get the attention of audiences. President Barack Obama communicates in ethical way, that shows respect and dignity to all people from all nations even outside of the United States. I would want to model this person's behavior and communication skills because it is positive and it sends a message to society in a respectful manner that creates a respectful relationship and common ground to a solution. I have learned from this person's communication techniques in a way that I can translate to children and families in a unique way. When we communicate in a effective, ethical and respectful manner, we can get more attention and build a better relationship between our peers, children and families (O’Hair & Wiemann, 2009)

Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI thought that it was interesting that out of everyone we could have chosen, you and I both chose the President. I do not always agree with his political decisions but he is an excellent communicator!!! Nice blog...thanks for sharing.
Tammie,
ReplyDeletePresident Obama is a great example. He also has a sense of influence or control when he speaks. He has to be an outstanding communicator or we would hear a lot more negativity in that respect.
