Someone who demonstrates competent communication within a particular context:

In this week's blog assignment we have to select someone who we think (e.g., family member, celebrity, politician, friend, or professor) who demonstrates competent communication within a particular context. What behaviors does this person exhibit that make him or her effective? Would you want to model some of your own communication behaviors after this person? Why or why not?

The person who I have chosen who demonstrates competent communication within a particular context is Steve Harvey. I listen to him on his radio show every morning when I am driving to work. He is a comedian who really communicates and connects with his audience. He shows you how to communicate within your relationships with people by listening and being attentive. He advises you on how to be able to communicate you have to be able to have dialogue and willing to listen. I would want to model some of my own communication behaviors after him in that I want to be able to grasp your attention and keep your attention.

I want to be a communicator who is confident and not afraid to be who I am and not waiver from my personality. He shows his true self by being genuine, expressing himself with class, tact and poise. He expresses to his audience that you have to be true to yourself and not try and put on any heirs.
