Communication Skills Self-Assessment

you pretend it never happened (Bisk, 2017). I do believe there are times when I walk away from conflict or let things go that do not seem important. I believe however that there is a time and place for all these styles.
“How Good are Your Communication Skills?” was the second assessment I took (Mindtools.com, n.d.a). This assessment is important because communication skills are the most important skills needed in the workplace. This assessment rated a communication from the sender to the receiver. The assessment scores a person from a 15 to a 75. A lower score meant a person really has to work on their communication skills where as a 75 meant a person was excellent (Mindtools.com, n.d.a). I scored a 60.
When I saw my score and
That I have a variety of meaningful relationships and I am a “people person”. This assessment told me that the career path I would be best suited for would one where I would deal with different types of people on a regular basis ("Interpersonal skills self-assessment," n.d.).
I do see patterns though out the assessments. I see that I have high emotional intelligence, which in turn leads to great communication skills. The area that is my strength would have to be my emotional intelligence. I believe this is strength because it makes me approachable to others and easy to work with. I believe without emotional intelligence the other skills would be impossible to build.
The two areas of growth that I have identified are my communication skills and my self-confidence. I picked communication skills because I was having a hard time getting my ideas out of my head when I was stressed out. I learned that I just need to take a minute, step back, and breath. Then I could get the ideas and words out of my head. The second I picked out was my self-confidence. I struggle with self-confidence but not as much as I did when I began this program. I know can tell myself that I know more than what I think and go with my gut.
Leadership
I chose this one because effective communication and collaboration is necessary to providing patient centered care. Teamwork among healthcare professionals equals high quality and safe patient care. The communication assessment falls under this essential perfectly. Without good communication skills, patient care would suffer. As I continue to grow my communication skills I will not only become a better nurse I will also become a better person. By growing these skills I will improve my skills and be able to communicate more effetely with those I work
