This week we were asked to think about the similarities and differences between how we evaluated ourself as a communicators and how others evaluated you. There were very many similarities, I guess because the people I asked were people who really knew me and live with me day in and day out. Our scores were the same and we discussed them and I tried to remain none aggressive when talking about me!! I don't like to talk about me because I already know me and know what I need to work on and I am trying hard each day to learn knew ways of handling things.
We were also asked what was the one thing that surprised you the most? Why? I think the one thing that surprised me the most was my aggresive score. I didn't realize it was that high but it was absolutely right.What other insights about communication did you gain this week? I learned that I need to not trust people as much as I have in the past which has lead me to be hurt, which has also I guess led to my aggresiveness. Even at a young age I would trust people easily and would end up hurt so I have to continue to learn how to not get hurt by others. I also learned that I am okay speaking in public under the right circumstances. This was a really cool exercise and I learned a lot about myself.
Hi Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI also had similar results as my evaluators. I think that it also indicates that you were very truthful with your answer. I understand how difficult it is to listen to others speak about you. I found it even more insightful when the scale results described me perfectly!
Jamie,
ReplyDeleteThis was a really interesting activity to me as well. The cool thing that the evals scoring showed was that those that know me well and don't know me so well evaluated me the same. I did notice I judge myself harder than others.
