Communications Management

Full Answer Section

Part-II (5 Marks):

1. Choose a difficult conversation you've had and summarize it in a single paragraph.

2. Evaluate performance:

• Assuming the best: Did you and others try to understand each other's perspectives?
• Staying calm: Did you manage emotions effectively?
• Finding common ground: Did you identify shared interests or goals?
• Disagreeing diplomatically: Did you express disagreement respectfully?
• Avoiding exaggeration/either/or: Did you use factual language and avoid oversimplification?
• Sharing stories: Did you use relevant stories to explain your point?

3. Identify three ways you would approach the conversation differently:

• Specific actions you could have taken to improve communication.
• How you could have managed your emotions more effectively.
• Strategies for finding common ground and building rapport.

Remember:

• Use your own words and avoid plagiarism.
• Support your claims with evidence and examples.
• Use clear and concise language.
• Proofread carefully before submitting.

This is just a starting point, and you should customize it based on your chosen conversation and personal experiences. Good luck!
