Competent communicator

Effective communication is important in any form of interaction. I have being opportune to have experienced some great competent communicators in my life; but the particular one I chose to talk about as contributed to my desire to aspire towards a leadership role in my chosen, I desire to be able to coordinate an effective program and I know being able to communicate effectively with your staff, children and their families is very crucial. The person I knew that demonstrated competent communication was a friend of mine during my university days. She currently runs a school in Lagos; I am not surprised she is doing very well with her staff. They all love her. The last time I visited, the teachers and staff organized a special end of the year celebration and gave her an award. When I knew her back in the university, she always had a way with words, like she knew what you wanted to hear; more of an inspirational and motivational speaker. She has a good listening ears. I guess that is her strongest point. I could remember when I told her I was a bit nervous about my first day of teaching practice. She let me express all my fears and anxiety; she then looked into my eyes convincingly and  told me to relax that I would do just fine. All I needed was confidence in what I had to offer, a pleasant face and everything would be fine. When I saw her speaking on the day she was awarded I was impressed because she still had that confident with her choice of words.

  

Leadership is executed through communications, I would therefore like to emulate her confident, use words and gestures that shows honesty in her messages which tend to make people believe in themselves and therefore bring out the best in them.
