Do I find myself communicating differently according to individuals?

When I think a about culture diversity, rather in the presence of co-workers, classmates, family or in the community, I see myself becoming a product of my environment.

At work, I'm professional with early education as the focus and hoping I can successfully be a great resource to families and teachers.

At Church, I always wish I could be in the same place on a daily basis. The environment is much more relaxed and the atmosphere is full of gratitude. Talking with the people, I see more smiles than ever!

At home, I am free!!!!  It's  a safe zone to be who I am   and say what I feel . One thing that my family and I  work on is  treating  each other better than we treat outsiders. If I treat my boss with great respect because I need my job or I have a motive to get a raise  and show how dependable I can be, than I owe that to my family because they love me unconditionally .Our words are just as kind to each other as they are to the church and work family. a

The common denominators in the groups I have identified for effective communication are
1. Listening
2. Reflecting
3. Eye contact
4. Smiling  ......and.......
5 Showing respect

  1. This is very interesting how your the same in all your environments. At church I agree it is easy to be yourself, how are you around your friends compared to the way you are outside the home?

  2. I think you misread, I'm professional at work, free and inspired at church and home I am truly free to express myself. With being in a Master's program, working 10-11 hours day, I don't see friends much. Next year I'm sure that will be a different scenario. For know, I see how I adjust to all there of my environments and each are different.
