Self-assessment of Communication Skills

In this assignment, you will develop an understanding of how good listening is crucial to effective communication and career success. In addition, you will perform a personalssessment of your communication skills and style.

As a student studying healthcare administration and leadership in healthcare, you should be developing your own personal development plan to include a personal assessment of your communication skills.

Listening is an integral part of the communication process. Communication in the healthcare setting is vital. This includes communication between doctors and patients, doctors and nurses, clinicians and administrators, and so on.

Based on your learning, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes answers to the following questions:

  • Which topic of conversation makes you uncomfortable? What is the topic? Do you know why you find it difficult to talk about this topic?
  • What do you do when you become uncomfortable during a conversation? Do you withdraw? Do you try to change the topic? Do you speak louder or softer? Do you begin to gesticulate?
  • Have you had an occasion to talk to a very persuasive or very aggressive person? If you and this person hold different opinions, can you hold to your position? Are you easily “led” in a conversation?
  • Are you flexible in a conversation? If a comment made by someone takes the conversation in an unexpected direction, can you adjust quickly? Can you assimilate new information, reassess your position, and continue the conversation?
  • When entering into a conversation, do you attempt to eliminate potential distractions and interruptions?
  • Do you consciously avoid having important conversations in high traffic public areas where environmental distractions are likely possible? Why?
  • Do you put your cell phone in the silence mode when you are likely to have conversations? Why?
  • Do you listen without interruption and sufficiently control the conversation to minimize interruption? Why?
  • When engaged in a conversation, do you give your undivided attention to the matters being discussed? Why?
  • When engaged in discussion, do you develop reflective questions pertinent to the conversation? Why?
  • When engaged in discussion, do you make conscious eye contact? Why?
  • When involved in conversations, are you cognizant of body language, both the individual you are conversing with and your own? Why?
  • Do you have an understanding of body language gestures and posturing?

In a self-assessment summary, provide a list of your communication strengths and weaknesses. Also, provide a plan to address the weaknesses identified.

A paralegal may be asked to perform legal research and then prepare
an office legal memorandum. This memorandum is to provide assistance and
support to the attorney and it will provide an objective, critical
analysis of a legal problem. These type of memoranda are called many
different names, including interoffice legal research memorandum,
interoffice memorandum of law, office legal memorandum, office research
memorandum, objective memorandum, and legal memo.

The main purpose of the memorandum is to identify and record the
law, analyze and explain how the law applies to the issue, assess
strengths and weaknesses of your client’s case, and present a conclusion
with a proposed solution based on your analysis.

California. The issue is the precise legal question raised by the facts of the client’s case and is usually created as a question such as: Does California have current law regarding dog bites?
The answer or holding will be simply a Yes or No answer. You will then
provide the current law that supports information regarding dog bites in
the analysis section of the memorandum. Offer a conclusion to the memo
and your recommendation to the attorney about the legal issue presented.

Week 6: Dialogue

dialogue

Students will be responsible for answering weekly discussion questions posted under Discussion Board on Blackboard. The initial posting to each question is due no later than 11:59 pm on Thursday and responses to classmates’ postings no later than 11:59 pm on Sunday night.

There are five websites which will provide starter information on which to develop your discussion points for International Business below. Two are diverse rankings lists; the other three are to assist you with research:

Rankings Lists:

Forbes’ List: http://www.forbes.com/best-countries-for-business/list/#tab:overal

World Bank Lists: http://www.ibtimes.com/international-business-opportunities-trends-top-countries-consider-214068

Research Sources:

http://export.gov/ccg/index.asp

http://globaledge.msu.edu/global-insights/by/country

http://www.operationworld.org/countries-alphabetically

Some of the countries are ranked high on the Forbes’ list of countries for doing business; while these same countries are ranked lower on the World Bank list. It will be up to you to discern why the discrepancy. Each week we will review a country and answer the following questions:

1. What would make this country an attractive region or market in which to enter, depending on the type of opportunities your firm is considering? What are cultural influences, including customs and business etiquette in this international market, will affect business practices?
2. If you were to want to start trading with this country, with what type of entry strategy would you begin?

3. What kinds of local representation or institutional support would you need available to you to help you navigate any unforeseen obstacles and explain the laws and contract provisions in order to conduct business and protect your assets?
4. What are some of the limitations (economic, infrastructure, technological) in establishing this exchange relationship (for example, currency fluctuations, or import/export timelines)?
5. What opportunities and limitations are there for communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ? What would be a focus for prayer? Be sure to review the Operation World link above.
