No matter how adept we become in written communication, there is always room to improve upon what we are doing. Research continually underscores the importance of quality academic writing, as “an important aspect of academic performance as well as of subsequent work- related performance,” (Kellogg & Raulerson, 2007, p. 237). I would like to improve grammar, style, and tone in my writing. In terms of grammar, I would like to focus on some of the mistakes I make most commonly such as run-on sentences and misplaced modifiers. Stylistically, I could use some changes to my writing to avoid sounding the same in all my communications. I need to adjust the style for different classes, different types of communications such as emails versus essays, and formal versus informal writing. Similarly, I would like to learn how to master the art of tone in writing. When I read good writing, it seems the author is speaking directly to me. I believe that effective communication is achieved via a conversational tone. Even the audience for formal writing is human and therefore requires a human tone. Finally, I would like to be able to write well for different audiences and different situations instead of only...
I also believe that the more I read, the better my writing will become. To become a better writer, it is important to analyze what successful authors do and try to emulate their approach.

Reading my work aloud makes it easier to spot problems in tone, style, and grammar.

Communication Skills Self-Assessment Interpersonal Communication Speech and language pathologists are considered to be experts in the field of interpersonal communication. Yet these professionals readily agree that although they may be experts in disorders of communication, they "are not experts in 'communication,' particularly that of interpersonal communication" (Montgomery, 2006). A fundamental reason that someone might not be skilled in interpersonal communication is that they have difficulty attending to and processing all of the
Communication The Hunter-Worth situation is an interesting example of cultural communication breakdown. In this instance, the breakdown has led to several problems. There is conflict between Hunter-Worth and the Mexican plant, and there is a shortage of the toy. The problems are related. The communication breakdown has resulted in Hunter-Worth management not knowing what the problem with the toy is. While Moore might not think so, resolving the conflict is going
1). However, there are several weaknesses or gaps that need to be addressed, according to my assessment. One of the core issues or weaknesses in my communication is related to my ability to give oral presentations. I believe that this gap can be easily addressed via training. The textbook by Baack (2012) outlines some of the core tips for designing effective presentations, both oral and written. Referring to this
Insomuch, Angela felt that she was being penalized because she worked from home. Although Ralph tried to explain that this was not the case, he was unsuccessful in conveying the real issue of missing a deadline. Consequently, the focus shifted to more of a personal nature because Angela felt unappreciated so they decided to reconvene to another meeting two weeks later. Unfortunately, the meeting started with some hostility from Angela.
