Our world is sewn together and pulled apart through communication. Relationships can grow deeply or be severed with the right words, businesses can expand and profit or see decline because of their communication strategies. Our understanding of other people, other cultures and other countries is built by what we see, hear and experience.
Through communication we build our
understanding of the world and through the study of communication we seek ways
to make that understanding more vibrant and accurate. Studying communication
allows us to analyze our own efforts and accept another’s. Studying
communication opens the door to understanding what influences our worldview and
expands our ability to grasp information. Studying communication gives us the
skills and tools to be more effective and more understanding.
My goal is to take my personal
study and experience and make communication work for the greater good. By
telling the stories that inspire hearts I hope to help people connect more
deeply to each other and the world. By sharing the reasons for adapting our
communication styles, I hope to help people communicate better with each other.
By applying the skills and tools I have learned to my own relationships, I hope
to have better, deeper, more long lasting friendships. In each of these
situations communication is key.
Here you will find milestones of my
journey of understanding and applying communication theories, techniques and
assignments. Professional documents, educational submissions, and personal
stories will highlight my own development as a communicator and student of
communications.
