Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who is distracted? Maybe they were watching a television show or looking at their phone as you attempted to convey important information. Perhaps you asked if they understood what you were saying, and they repeated the last few words you said but were obviously missing the point. At this point in the conversation, the most likely phrase to follow is, “Are you even listening to me?” In situations like this, it becomes clear how important listening is in facilitating a healthy conversation, but there are also more subtle ways in which we can improve our listening skills. In this Discussion, you will reflect on the behaviors used by both good and poor listeners and use this analysis to identify key behaviors for effective listening. To prepare for this Discussion: Consider two specific individuals to refer to for this Discussion—one whom you consider to be a good listener and a second whom you consider to be a poor listener. Make sure to conceal their identity in your post. BY DAY 3 Post an analysis of the specific behaviors each individual does or does not use when listening. In your analysis, do the following: Describe the nonverbal and verbal behaviors and actions of each individual as they listen to you. Describe how each individual checks (or fails to check) for understanding. Analyze how each individual’s listening skills have affected either the outcomes you are jointly trying to achieve, your relationship over time, or both. Analyze how your observations align with or extend ideas on active listening from this week’s Learning Resources. Refer to the Week 5 Discussion 1 Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work. Read some of your colleagues’ postings.
When communication becomes difficult, we need to be additionally conscious of our listening skills to ensure we are listening with empathy. Oftentimes, people hear others’ problems and begin viewing those problems from their own personal lens. They might think about how they would solve the problem, or they might immediately respond with their “solution” for the other person. Although these responses may come from a sympathetic standpoint, they do not exhibit empathy and can be off?putting, especially to someone who is expressing their feelings from a vulnerable place. In this Discussion, you will analyze the role of empathy in a conversation in which you were involved. To prepare for this Discussion: Think of a difficult or uncomfortable conversation you have had in which you felt discounted, misunderstood, or devalued, and think of another conversation in which you felt validated, heard, and appreciated. You will analyze these conversations for this week’s Discussion. BY DAY 5 Post an analysis of the effects of empathy when communicating with others. In your analysis, do the following: Briefly outline the topic of each conversation and explain how the conversation made you feel. (Supply only information that you are comfortable sharing and that is pertinent to the analysis.) Describe specific behaviors (i.e., words, actions, body language) the other party used that demonstrated empathy or a lack of empathy. Describe the impact of these behaviors on both the outcome of the conversation and the ongoing relationship with the other party. Analyze at least two specific takeaways regarding communicating with empathy in difficult conversations, including how these takeaways align with the information and ideas from this week’s Learning Resources.
Hello everyone! I truly believe workers should NOT use their work equipment for anything other than work. Me personally would never put my personal information into anything other than my own device. Managers have every right to make sure that the workers are using the equipment for work related because that's what you are being payed to use it for. For example, I worked from home a couple years ago and the company I worked for provided the iMac and all the other equipment. Before I was hiring I made a agreement that I would only use it for work use and couldn't no one use it but me. So one day I was off and I had went to the store and my sister was staying with me at the time and she didn't know I was about to start working from home and when I made it back home she was on Facebook on my work computer without me knowing and I lost my job behind that. They also told me where they captured where someone took a picture of the iMac and that was unacceptable as well. Even tho I told them I wasn't there and that my sister didn't know that was my work computer she thought I had bought it for myself, I still lost my job. So workers shouldn't use work equipment for personal use. Based on this description and the information about the case provided in the module Resources area: Should employees who utilize their work computers to store or send personal information, or to surf the internet, have an expectation of privacy for personal information, data, and emails generated, accessed, or stored on their work computers? Explain your perspective. In your response posts to your peers, offer your own perspectives and experience.
