Communicating and Collaborating

The person I choose for this assignment is my former boss. She is a great communicator because she listens carefully to you and is an active listener. Before answering any question or addressing any concern, she repeats carefully what she believes you said to ensure she understood you correctly. Then, she takes a short pause to think over her answer. Whenever she does answer, she words her thoughts carefully to make sure misunderstandings are kept to a minimum. Yet, she is firm when she talks to you and she always gets her point across without being disrespectful. I would adapt many of her communication skills to guarantee that I become an eTh qually skilled communicator. One of the most important skills she taught me was to become an active listener. I always rephrase what others say to ensure that I understood them correctly or I ask for clarification.
