COMM 1008 Walden University Improving Interpersonal Interactions Discussion

 

There are 2 parts to this assignment – instructions and resources are below.

PART 1:

Discussion 1: Improving Interpersonal Interactions

How we handle conflict can impact the growth, or dissolution, of a relationship. Learning effective strategies to handle conflict can help us manage in ways that lead to improvement in our interactions. In this Discussion, you will consider a relationship in which conflict was not resolved. You will consider the context and what led to the outcome.

Using our reading resources, you will then consider “I” statements that could be used effectively to assert your point of view while not blaming someone else or making them defensive. Learning to think about your responses before you experience conflict in the future can help make you a more effective business communicator.

Discussion 2: Your Soft Skills

Communication skills are learned over time through interactions with others. In this course, you have had several opportunities to learn about yourself and others. This course has offered a general Communication Skills Assessment, a Listening Skills Assessment, an Emotional Intelligence Assessment, and a Conflict Management Assessment. Each assessment provided you with results on strengths and opportunities for improvement.
