Final Who Am I Presentation

Project Context:

One of the most significant aspects of Interpersonal Communication is one’s self-concept.  As your textbook states, “Through communicating with others, we learn who we are, what we’re worth and how we should act.  This means the starting point for improving your communication is to understand your self."

Over the course of the semester, this project has asked you to explore various parts of your “self,” analyze the factors that may have contributed to those results and discover how all of this has impacted your perceptions and communication with others.  In the end helping you to better understand and make changes, if needed, to successfully communicate with others.
