In order to have effective
communication skills, a person must be able to communicate with others while
respecting their culture and beliefs.
That person should also be able to listen to others to understand their personal point of view. This will allow them to be able to respond accordingly. One person who demonstrates competent
communication is my mother. Actually,
she was always able to communicate with people from different backgrounds and
cultures and create healthy relationships with them. In fact, some of my friends feel
comfortable enough to ask her for advice. She was always patient with others and took the time to listen to their ideas; this allowed her to gain the ability to suggest advice
without seeming disrespectful or offensive.
I try to model some of my own communication behaviors after her because I
see how it has helped her create healthy relationships.
It is great to have a close family member that displays positive and effective communication. It is important to be patient and respectful when listening to others.

ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful that you have such an awesome role model to follow. Your mother sounds like she would be an easy person to talk too. Being able to communicate with different cultures in such a positive way is excellent.
