A summary of your self-analysis Essay

Audience Analysis (Rating: 1 (2) 3 4) Explanation: My audience is a mixture of students and ordinary people of various ages. They are the masses that form the greater number of the society who prefers plain and simple language, and whose culture, needs and interests are facilitated by their interpersonal relationship and by their basic daily activities. I encircle 2 because I rank 4 as the audience composed of scholars and 3 composed of professionals and well educated people. They are the most important audience as they are the people who are aware of the issues confronting the society and are highly capable of judging me. I chose 3 because they are not my audience yet. Written Communication (Rating: 1 2 (3) 4) Explanation: I chose 3 because I see my self as between 4 and 2. Given the 4 as very good, I would not rank my self this high as I am fully aware I still need to improve in written communication. However, I chose 3 in the sense that I can write short magazine article, write formal letters, and written communication such memorandum for various department of the company. I chose 3 simply to emphasize where I am in the scales of 1 to 4 being 1 as basic and four as very good. Oral Communication (Rating: 1 (2) 3 4). Explanation: I am not good enough in oral communication but I can communicate fairly well. Given that 1 need improvement which means basic, I do need improvement too but as I said, I can communicate orally but not as effective as I do in the written communication. So though not really basic which means 1, I need further improvement in oral communication so I encircle 2 as my rating in this aspect. Visual Communication (Rating: 1 2 (3) 4) Explanation: I can say that I have skill in this type of communication; I can use visual aids effectively in such a way that my audience understands well the ideas that I conveyed to them. However, I could not say that I do not need improvement at all, am not not perfect and I need to continually improve my skill. So I encircle 3 to emphasize on this regard. Self-image and the image that you project (Rating: 1 2 (3) 4) Explanation: I am quite good at projecting my self but I feel that I need to do. Yes, I can project the image that I wanted my audience to identify me but I still could not say I am really good in this, so I in the rating of 1 to 4 I would chose 3 being 1 as the basic and 4 as that do not need improvement. Effectiveness of dealing with feelings—your own and others (Rating: 1 (2) 3 4) Explanation: Unfortunately, I am quite weak in dealing with my own feelings much more that of others. I still have to address my weakness particularly my temperament and emotional impulses. In this case I rate my self 2 there are still a lot in me that I need to improve. Based on your self-evaluation, please answer the following questions: What are your major communication strengths? Please list. Among my major communication skills are the following, 1. ) I am a good listener.

Please list. The goals that I want to pursue to improve my leadership communication are: 1. ) I need to overcome my emotional impulses and to manage well my temperament, through asking my self what is it that I really wanted to achieve. 2. ) Improve my oral communication skills by learning from great poets and speakers through studying their speeches. 3. ) Enhance my listening and writing ability through determining who my audience is and how will I level my communication to my audience. How will you obtain feedback to ensure that you are making progress on your goals? Please explain.
