My Mother, An Effective Communicator

My momma, Traci, is the most effective communicator that I know. She has charisma, she's funny, and everyone just seems to listen when she talks. When I think about her particular behaviors when communicating, several things come to mind. The first is that she has excellent eye contact and body language. She maintains eye contact the entire time that she is communicating with someone and really expresses interest in what she's saying, as well as what the other person(s) is saying. Another thing that she does, that I feel is effective, is that her tone and language are very positive. She has a very pleasant tone when she's communicating with people and is enthusiastic about what she is discussing. Not only that, but she fully explains things, helping people to understand why they are being asked to do something a certain way. My mom also allows other people to talk. She doesn't dominate the conversation; she says what she needs to say and then allows people to express themselves without interrupting. She listens and respects what they say, taking other people's opinions into consideration. I think that all of these behaviors makes her a very effective communicator and helps her succeed in her job as a pediatric nurse manager.

I feel that all of the behaviors that my mom possesses regarding communication are productive. She is a very effective communicator and I admire that about her. She is a great leader and her staff respects her very much, something that I hope that I can achieve with my staff as well. I would be very happy to possess all of the communication behaviors that she holds and strive to better myself on this subject daily.
