| President Barack Obama |
President Barack Obama, in my opinion demonstrated competent communication
in the Presidential Debates. President Obama has an ability to connect and relate to people which makes him an effective speaker. This is a characteristic I admire about him and would like to model. He is able to articulate himself clearly and help
people understand his positions. I would like to model this behavior because it is important to be concise and clear to stay on topic and make your point. It is also
important to engage your audience and ensure they understand your positions. Another behavior that
demonstrate effective communication, is his temperament, he did not appear
nervous or defensive during the debate. He seemed as though he was in control
of his behavior, thoughts, emotions and frustrations. This is another behavior I
would like to model because when you are passionate about something it is
difficult not to be emotional. Lastly, I
think the President inspires people when he communicates and influence a call
to action for support and change. When communicating with others I hope to
impact their lives and rally their support for change.

Katara,
ReplyDeleteI agree that Barrack Obama is a very compent communicator. Barrack works hard to communicate change and government policies to the people. Since he addresses the country, he has to communicate the most diverse audience. Therefore, I agree that he is very competent in getting his message across to a very large group.
Hi Katara,
ReplyDeleteYou got it right. Barack Obama is widely acknowledged as a competent and effective communicator. He did his best to connect with people and properly marshaled his points to be understood. He properly managed his temperament and comported himself even when his race was a challenge to his ambition. He understood situational context and did his best to come across to everyone.
