Effective communication is a key skill to succeed in any job, and it is especially important to communicate well in my position with Reading Partners. Each day, I need to communicate with tutors, teachers, children, and my own peers, and make sure that in doing so I am representing my organization well. While I think I can be very personable, I think this is something I can continue to work on.
Through #SY100, I took a LinkedIn learning class on Communicating with Confidence with Jeff Ansell. A series of videos highlighted tricks, tips, and best practices in communication. I really enjoyed going through the class and felt I learned a lot. One thing Jeff highlighted was how often many of us have "Racing Brain Syndrome," which is to say our brain is working way to fast and we aren't keeping focused and in the moment/present with who we're talking to. He offered a lot of great advice and I enjoyed going through the class! I am currently practicing some of his excellent breathing techniques.
