Communication
An outstanding communicator is one who distinguishes himself by the way he uses language. He normally makes eye contact while speaking, speaks fluently, concentrates on content of the conversation and thinks before speaking. Ineffective communication is speaking or writing in a way that lost and confuse your audience. Based on physical contact and observation on the television, our Prime Minister is an excellent example of a good communicator. On the other hand, someone I know to be an ineffective communicator is a news reporter.
The Hon. Dean Barrow has good rhetoric. Numerous instances he has been confronted by the media and organizations unexpectedly and he always respond in a very clear and concise manner. Rarely would you find him stumbling over his words and he speaks fluently. On a visit to the Prime Minister I was given the opportunity to ask him questions and I can see that he thinks before he speaks, he speaks slowly yet answers quickly in simple language. The Prime Minister often uses concoction of jargonistic words arranged into convoluted sentences as an effective way of covering up ideas or answers to questions that are half-baked, obvious, or trivial which I believ is part of his communication strategy. He knows how to keep his audience attention.
Reporters often tend to be directly, impromptu and most often does not exhibit characters and behaviors that make him or her to be believed and trusted by people. Our reporters in Belize tend to be too interfering making people rejecting them or refuse to tell their story. In our daily news reporters on scene does not speak fluent English, does not get to the bottom truth of their investigation and are vague that people does not understand. They are not professional. Some of our reporters speak fast, like to talk while doing other thing which distracts their audience. Reporters need to be brave enough to write the truth, no matter what the consequences. Sometimes it’s not easy because they end up becoming friends with their sources over time, and then one day the reporter may be forced to write something negative about someone who thought they were your friend. That’s just the nature of the business. The strategy I see our reporters of today use is writing down pointer of questions they are going to ask on their investigations and still does not read directly from it.
The difference between the communication strategies of the Prime Minister and Reporter is that the Prime Minister uses sets goals and objectives; operational constraints and imperatives to be very clear with the public and meet their answers in a way that there will not be any second questions or have the public wondering what was the point he was trying to make. Unlike the reporter who has things written down on paper and still does not get information across clear leaving people confused, provide enough and accurate information to their audience and make people misbelieve them. The Prime Minister stay focus, flexible and listen cheenly and carefullt while some reporters are not attentive nor flexible.
Three ways that I would use to improve my communication skills are 1) practicing public speaking at home in front of my mirror and family. This can assist me in improving my confidence when speaking to a large audience in public. 2) I would definitely try to make my writing clear and concise by avoid using words such as “and and um” make eye contact with my audience and use gestures. 3) I would also try to listen carefully so that I can write or answer the right questions with the right answer rather than answering the wrong questions with a brilliant answer.
