Communication Week 1

The person that I feel communicates effectively in any given situation would have to be our President, Barack Obama!  Every time that I have seen him speak, he always speaks with confidence and preparedness.  Even though others aren't always on his side or believe in, he still speaks as if they do.  The President is always prepared in his speech and seems to be ready for anything that someone asks of him.  When watching the debate, no matter how mad he was on the inside, it didn't look like it.  To me, he is someone who understands how to communicate with others effectively and doesn't interrupt others even when he is passionate about something.  I would like to be able to speak to people with confidence and preparedness.  I would like to communicate without interrupting and making sure I am respectful, even when I’d rather act another way.  I would like to remain calm, no matter what is said.
