The best communicator I know is my co-teacher, Rosemary. The first reason for this is that she is very comfortable with herself, with her beliefs, with her outlook on life, with her ethics, her priorities and her values. Juxtaposed to this comfort with herself, she believes that all people should be afforded such comfort and should be respected for who they are.
For the above reasons, Rosemary is not only willing to listen to the point of view of others, but is truly nterested in what they have to say. Part of her comfort with herself allows her to listen openly to what others have to say without pretense and to use communication to learn as much as she can about others without passing judgment.
This gift of natural ability to communicate freely and effectively is a truly wonderful thing. I do believe that all people should strive to first know who they are and feel comfort and pride in themselves, and then come to a place where they can accept others without judgment or an attempt to change another. Tolerance is the key to communication.
Mamaearth,
ReplyDeleteI agree with that the gift of natural ability to communicate freely and effectively is a truly wonderful thing. Communication is a key component in our profession and it is imperative that well do it well. I can admit I have some learning to do when it comes to being a good communicator.
