Demonstrating Competent Communication




Although, I never depict myself to model a person, since I am big on being a unique individual. With that said, there are some individuals that are admirable to me and one of them is Oprah Winfrey. One of things that I enjoy about watching Oprah is she always displays effective communication. She demonstrates eloquence when she speaks, respect towards others and their views, and she gives a sense of comfort when she is conversing with others. Oprah has interviewed many individuals in her lifetime, from celebrities to pedophiles. Throughout all her interviews she remains respectable and at times she may not agree with the person; however she still allows them to tell their story. The behavior she exhibits as a communicator is something I would definitely implement into my own life personally and professionally. Sometimes when you are communicating with someone, you may not agree with their opinion but it is important to listen to the person’s views without bias, this something Oprah is able to do.

  1. Hi Steffanie,

    Thank you for helping me understand this idea because I had no clue what competent communication was. I have a clear vision of it now.
