Looking at how my fellow classmates
handle professional communication gave me a better understanding of how Paul
Anderson’s ideas apply in the real world. One thing that really stood out to me
across most videos was how important it is to adjust your message depending on
who you're talking to, whether it’s a general manager, HR team, vendor, or
senior leader. They all showed that context really matters, like if there’s a
tight deadline or a problem happening in real-time, your message has to be
clear, direct, and easy to act on.
I also appreciated how each person had a unique way of
presenting their video. Everyone had different communication styles and
situations, which made me realize how personal and flexible digital
communication can be. Their different perceptions helped me see that there’s no
one-size-fits-all approach, what works in one environment might not in another,
and that’s okay.
I especially liked how they focused
on how their messages would be received. Paul Goodman mentioned starting with
appreciation to avoid sounding aggressive. Nicholas talked about beginning with
a solution to keep things positive. Brentlee emphasized staying respectful when
delivering tough news. They all use smart techniques like bullet points,
bolding key info, and writing strong subject lines to keep things easy to read.
One big thing I took away is the
idea of leading with the most important point or action. And I liked how they
all showed awareness of ethics and tone, being honest, clear, and thoughtful
with their words.
