Episode #01 - Communication, its Strengths and Struggles

For me, good communication means I can bring my message clear to you and be able to open a dialogue with people easily. However, looking at the statement above, that is not me yet. This is my ideal view of what makes great communication.

During class, we took a profiling test and I am a Peacemaker. I have taken a similar test online before called Myers Briggs Test. In that test, I am an INFP, which means Peacemaker. Both tests shows similar results of who I am, my thought process and how I handle things. I am good in bringing meaningful insights and views on the matter to get the best results possible.I am always concern of the other party’s feeling and thoughts as I converse with them. In my mind, I never stop processing the issues that went by for the day. I would always reflect on them and ponder how different things would have turned out if I did things differently.

However, my strengths are also my weakness. Since I am concern about the other party, sometimes I would hold back. After time has passed, I would feel guilty about myself for not stepping forward and expressing myself. I am terrible at striking a conversation with strangers.

Whenever I see someone that I want strike a conversation with, I would become self-conscious about myself. Thus, the conversation never happened.This seems to be the common problem for my personality type as we tend be mistaken for aloof due to our indecisiveness. I have problem of handling small conversation. I find it tiring. Small talks are important as it helps me to understand the person better. This is something I need to get better at too.

To combat these issues, I learned to be more aware of the other party’s body language, tone and the words he/she uses. From the words that the other party use, I could see whether the person is a thinker, feeling or auditory person. I would mirror his posture, tone and words to get engagement and a sense of familiarity.

From this course, I hope I could be able to strike a conversation with a stranger with ease and be able to decisive in taking a step forward in things.

Syarief is the best!

SYARIEF IS THE BEST!

It is the truth. It cannot be denied. Most will scoff at this. They are in denial. I am the best!
