7 Core Competencies

I believe that I have two strong points in communication. The first is that I like to feel that I hold up my end of a conversation well. When I am talking to someone, I like to feel that they are listening to me and that they care about what I am talking about. If someone gets the feeling that I am not listening to them when they are talking to me, I would hope that they would let me know because I hate the feeling. The second strong point I feel I have is honesty in my communication. I tell it like it is. I do not like to lie and tell someone something that is not true or if it is not how I really feel.

I am only human and do feel that I have a couple of weak points. The first is tactfulness. I sometimes phrase things in the wrong way and they come off as blunt or disrespectful. I do not mean to be hurtful or disrespectful when I talk it just comes off that way. My second weak point is behavior flexibility. I find myself talking to my girlfriend the same way I would talk to one of my buddies or a person from work. This sometimes gets me in trouble because again I come off as a bit harsh.

Well I've never blogged before or really paid any attention to it when I heard the word "blog." But now that it is required I thought I should try it out and see how it works?
