Interestingly, this chapter was split into 2 different parts, that have some connecting points, but otherwise strike me as odd to coincide. Alas, this is what we have been given. In this blog entry, I am going to be talking about Leadership Communication. According to the chapter, a communication network is how information flows within the organisation, whether that be structured ways of communication or simple person to person relationships. Part of being a good leader is regulating communication flow, and giving it some sort of structure. Usually, its a sort of up and down, occasionally side to side structure. In my job as a receptionist and there is very straight forward communication flow within the business. Each person has an area of tasks that they cover, like finance or administration or pastoral work.  When something like a new Covid-19 policy is introduced, the administration puts together an office protocols update, and emails it to everyone in the office. This would be a pr

Heute, ich spreche uber die Theme: Unterschieden an der Arbeitsplatz. Zum wissen die unterschieden in deine Arbeitsplatz ist so wichtig, weil jeder kulture eine underschieden sprechen modellen hat. Wann sie, eine reiches und erfolgreich Geschäftenhaber sind, sie müssen zum kultur, unterschieden, und kommunication uberwissen haben. Wann Man eine gute verstanden von andre Kulturen, Sprachen, und Landen hat, dann Man kanst gute Weltumspanne vertrag gemachen. Weltweit beschäftigungen ist ein wirkliches Moglichkeit.  Firmen machen sie sich selbst weltweit.  Zum beispeil, die Text redet auf ein geschicht von Chevy in Puetro Rico. Chevy hatten eine Campain genennt: 'Nova.' Die Firma hat keine Idee, dass Nova 'es geht nicht' auf Spanisch gemeinte. Doch, sie haben ein Campain das wirklich 'geht nicht.' Produckt vernamen ist einfaches Kommunication.  Ich hab diese Blog ganz auf Deutsch geschibt weil ich eine wirkliches Kommuncation unterschieden machen. Ich weiß, aus mein

Identify. Prepare. Practise: these are 3 ways to prepare for (or even avoid) stressful conversations, according to Chapter 10 of HBR's 10 Must Reads.  This reminds me of DEAR MAN, a classic DBT conflict resolution and communication technique that has a little bit more finesseeee. DEAR MAN stands for: Define, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Assertive, Negotiate. In layman's terms, DEAR MAN is a communication strategy that promotes expressing your objectives and feelings, while also preserving the feelings and objectives of others.  This frame work is helpful because it helps all types of communicators. When faced with stressful conversations, some people crumble under perceived conflict and let the other persons emotional response manage the outcome of the conversation. Some people are overly aggressive and let their emotions and objective control the narrative of the conversation. Both ends of the communication spectrum have their own communication issues, but DEAR MAN is

Today we heard a presentation about gender in the workplace. Gender imbalances are a multifaceted issue, due to stereotypes or perceived abilities of women, education and financial gaps, as well as social responsibilities of different genders. Overall, its an important issue to discuss and actively talk about in the workplace.  Personally, I haven't faced any gender-based discrimination in the workplace that I can recall. I have had 2 jobs in my 19 years, as well as some volunteer positions that I haven't really noticed any discrimination at.  Outside of personal experience, I have witnessed some interesting patterns of gender in the workplace. My dad works at an Autobody shop, and I have noticed that all of the employees, except for two, are men. There are two women, both in accounting. The rest of the shop is all men, which is an interesting example of the types of jobs that are made to seem desirable to men vs women. Maybe those types of 'hands-on' jobs are painted t

Here is my video pitch for our March 7 class. Excuse the poor video quality, my computer is a chrome book that I got in the 11th grade. Somehow, its still kicking it. VIDEO: Curling is a great sport. 

The chapter we read called "How to Pitch a Brilliant Idea" outlined 3 types of pitch makers: The Show runners, Artists, and Neophytes.  If I had to put myself into a category, I would say that I am a mix between a show runner and an artist. When it comes down to it, I can put on a confident hat, and make myself appear more outgoing. Additionally, I have always loved incorporating humour into speeches, while demonstrating my knowledge and know how. When public speaking, I am pretty much always able to make myself appear much more outgoing than I am if you were to talk to me on the street.  I would also put myself in to the category of an artist, because I do appear sort of quirky and creative in my general ethos.  In order to Pitch a Brilliant idea, you have to keep in mind that you alone cannot change peoples minds. You are not a wizard. However, by appealing to peoples emotions through the strategy of a Show Runner, Artist, or Neophyte, you can appeal to peoples emotions, an

Hello. I am back again with the second free creation for our asynchronous lecture.  Okay so here I have a meme. I thought I would take another stab at visual free-creations since the majority of my free-creations are written.  Anyways, this meme shows the 'government' checking out the option of compromising and collaborating on issues, while being committed to solving issues that can only be met with conflict or disagreements. The ted talker's main point was about how conflict is necessary, and can be a good thing. He gave examples of governments making compromises with corporations as to avoid conflict- but endangering the people that the government is supposed to protect at the same time. In these cases, conflict is the best solution to protect citizens, even though some feathers might end up being ruffled.
