I have an aunt that is a metro council member for
district five in the state of Louisiana. Ronnie Edwards has served her district
faithfully for the past five years. She listens to her fellow citizens that
make up the district where she serves. Ronnie Edwards hold community forums
monthly, visit churches, schools and businesses to hear the voice of the
people. She is a very effective
communicator.
Ronnie Edwards exhibits behaviors of being a verbal and
non-verbal communicator. Advantages serves her well when communicating with a diverse audience. She adjust to the needs of others while effectively getting to a good result. Ronnie Edwards believes that mutal respect is a key element of a conversation
I would like to model some of my own behaviors after my
aunt. In every community and council meeting she is complimented of how well she
relates to others and how productive she is throughout her district. Every
event held is for the betterment of the people throughout district five. She is
invited to attend and speak at other functions that are held outside of her
district to support uniting citizens of the Greater Baton Rouge area. Ronnie
Edwards is a good listener as well as an effective community with all who comes
in contact with her.
Hi Ebony, your aunt sounds like a really good communicator. I get the impression that she loves what she does and has a passion for it. I think that helps to make one a good communicator; sincerity goes a long way when communicating with others.
ReplyDeleteThree communication skills stand out from what you have written: 1) adjusts to the needs of others, 2) mutual respect and 3)is a good listener.
I can see why you would want to emulate her communication skills! Thanks for sharing. Delores
Ebony, I used to work as a rural case manager and use to educate people about domestic violence. I know how they need to be listened and respected, and how they appreciate new information that brings them hope. I believe that as educators, we can transmit hope to families and help them be more prosperous as well.
