Question.5532 - Please share an example of how differences in communication style or shared meaning have affected your communication with a co-worker or classmate. Were you able to effectively communicate with each other once you made changes to your delivery or listening style? After reading the textbook content, how could you use your knowledge to be more effective in your own communications? You might consider your awareness of your own body language? Has your body language ever gotten you in trouble while communicating with someone? You might share issues with written communication vs. verbal communication.

You could discuss barriers to communication, such as information overload, filtering, emotional disconnects, or selective perception.
