Competent Communicators
For your blog this week, think of
someone (e.g., family member, celebrity, politician, friend, or professor) who
demonstrates competent communication within a particular context. What
behaviors does this person exhibit that make him or her effective? Would you
want to model some of your own communication behaviors after this person? Why
or why not?
I have
chosen Dr. Maya Angelou as the person who demonstrates competent communication
because she enhances human worth and respects people no matter what or who you
are. Dr. Angelou speaks from her heart and the wisdom she spreads comes from
her experience and lessons learned from her parents and people around her.
She is one of the most influential
voices of our time. She is a celebrated poet, memoirist, novelist, educator,
dramatist, producer, actress, historian, filmmaker, and civil rights activist.
I would like to share a video about her poem ‘The
Mask’ which shows how competent she is in capturing her audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT9y9HFHpU0&feature=related.
She can send her message to people who oppressed
other people in a positive way and earn their respect as well
I would like to model some of my own communication
behaviors after Dr. Angelou because I would like speak from my heart and share
the wisdom I have in sending the message that we are just equal. Nobody is
better than nobody and we should respect each other’s differences and work
towards a common goal. Dr. Maya Angelou continues
to stir our heart and souls, energizes our bodies and liberates our minds.

Anabel, I would have to agree with you. You made an exvcellent choice at choosing someone who is an effective communicator. Dr. Angelou has a way with words non like any other that I have heard. Even her voice rings our and grabs the attention of her listners. I love to hear her speak and absorb the wise words that she speaks. Great Job Anabel!!
