COM 5100 Strayer Wk 11 Communication Skill Progress Discussion & Response

Please  reflect this week on your communication journey. In week 1, you rated  your communication skills. Take the scale below and rate yourself now:

Novice: You tend to “wing it” when communicating. Your messages seldom achieve your desired goals.

Intermediate:  Your communications are sometimes effective, but you lack an  established process for communicating (and you aren’t actively testing  your methods).

Proficient: You apply some tools  and techniques of communications and, while you may do so  inconsistently, you are fairly effective when you communicate.

Distinguished:  You are considered highly professional. You regularly influence  outcomes through communications and you are highly  communications-oriented.

Expert: You have  extensive experience in business communications, are well-versed in the  topic, and can influence goals strategically while driving action with  your messaging.

Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts below:

Hello, for this final week discussion my communication skills are  proficient. Communication at the workplace is commonly regarded as a  vital skill. I just started my new job a few weeks ago, and I need to do  a presentation for my team once a month. Of course, I practice in front  of my family and friends first. I figured if I practice in front of  familiar people first, I will be able to successfully complete my  presentation at work in front of strangers. My family and friends are  willing to give me feedback good or bad. I take this information and use  it to my advantage. Good communication and writing can help your career  by allowing you to get your point across in a professional way. Also,  this will set the tone for your work environment.
