What Is Communication?

When I think of someone who demonstrates competent communication within a particular context I think of my best friend Posha Morgan, who I met the first week of undergrad.  When engaging in a conversation with Posha she always maintains eye contact and repeats what you say to make sure that she understood exactly what you said.  She is a great listener and can be very empathetic and sympathetic when need be.  I would like to model some of my on communication behaviors after this person because she is very clear and direct when communicating and as I indicated before, she is a great listener.

    It sounds like Posha has some great communication skills. I like how you talked about being sympathetic and empathetic, as these are also communication skills. Many time I am communicating with people and I am very open and very honest and I find it difficult when the person that I am communicating with keeps trying to "fix" the problem. Sometimes you have to be sympathetic and just listen. Great communication skills! Thanks!
