Communicatio

Communication and Collaboration Lizana St.Julien University of Phoenix Gen 200/Foundation for General Education and Professional Success Professor Anderson October 7, 2009 Communication is the process that involves exchanges of information, thoughts and idea, which you develop collaboration. Collaboration is where two or more people work together in an intersection of common goals. According to the Pathway to Learning exercise I am interpersonal, intrapersonal and musical which are my communication styles. I use music to relax, the sounds, rhythm, and that puts me in a calm and relaxed environment. Interpersonal is my first learning style, I communicate within a group to develop strategy for upcoming group activities. As a group different ideas and different point a views make great collaboration to create a great assignment. Working as a group can also improve you as a person to be open and in take other ideas. A group assignment helps me create new ideas, and as a group we discuss different ideas to come to a conclusion of what strategy we would be able to use. Intrapersonal is my second learning style, I communicate well by understanding my feelings and think about any assignments that needs to be done. If I have a paper to write, I use the free writing technique because I have to think to myself of what I need to elaborate on. I express my feelings on paper before I present it. Being intrapersonal is a good way to express myself, and deal with any problems before I speak. Also being visual person that helps me as well to put all ideas together first. My final learning style is musical; this is what helps me to be both interpersonal and intrapersonal. As I listening to music I place myself as the artist and it relaxes me and places me in a stable zone. Music helps me in many ways to be a better person and familiarize myself with different feelings and thoughts. Which allows me to communicate with others and discuss others opinion to better any assignments. In reference to the personality spectrum I am more of a giver, organizer, and adventurer. These all describe me as a person, and as a great friend, I like to see others succeed as well as I do. My first personality spectrum is a giver; I am the type of person that loves to extend a hand to any that needs help or just a friend. As a giver I communicate very well, and also give feedback on assignments, teach what I know and learn from others things I am not familiar with. My heart is always out to help and support different opinions and ideas. When we come to a conclusion, gather all information so we can help each other and accomplish our work. My last spectrum is an adventurer; when I am involve in any group assignments I like it to be active and excited. I prefer to take different routes on how to solve a situation; I like to problem solve to get to the point of the dilemma. As an adventurer I like to take risk that is going to influence me to be more active and involve. In conclusion I learned new things about myself, and it is going to help me become a great communicator. Communication is the backbone of Collaboration, communication brings ideas, opinion and stage presents, therefore you can be more involved in group assignments. Collaboration aims to increase the success of teams. Reference Collaboration; http//en.wikipedia.org www.articlebase.com/selfimprovment Assignment pathway of learning and personality spectrum,
