The person that I chose this week that I feel is a competent communicator is my father. He is a meat salesman for over 18 years now. He helps me at the diner that I have owned and ran now for 6 years. He has always had a way with working and talking with people. His communication is more than just how he talks to his customers. He is very respectful and clearly shows that he cares for them as a customer. He is successful in what he does because he cares for his job, the people he works with, and his loyal customers. This demonstrates that the way he behaves is effective. I would love to have half of the communication skills that my father has. His biggest communication quality that I would like to model is his loyalty of showing that what others feel and say matter. Showing that he cares about their needs is a model that should be advocated by everyone.
Brittany,
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you work at a diner! I find it fascinating that not only do you work with your father but I imagine he has helped you develop similar communication skills. Have you ever come across any conflict with the way he demonstrates his caring nature towards customers different from his character displayed at home? I recognize the difference with my father as I was raised with one who served in the military and he displayed a more quiet and serious roll most of the time around people but at home he was quietly silly. Thank you for sharing.
