Week 11 Discussion

Describe your experience in this course and how have you evolved as a communicator.

• How has your thought process changed in regard to communications?
• Which part of the communications process was most helpful in becoming more purposeful and strategic?
• How are you communicating differently in the workplace?
• Are you more confident as an MBA-level communicator?
• How do you plan to continue growing as a communicator?

Rate your communication progress and note how it has changed from your Week 1 and Week 6 rating.

• Novice: You tend to "wing it" when communicating. Your messages seldom achieve your desired goals.
• Intermediate: Your communications are sometimes effective, but you lack an established process for communicating (and you aren't actively testing your methods).
• Proficient: You apply some tools and techniques of communications and, while you may do so inconsistently, you are fairly effective when you communicate.
• Distinguished: You are considered highly professional. You regularly influence outcomes through communications and you are highly communications-oriented.
• Expert: You have extensive experience in business communications, are well-versed in the topic, and can influence goals strategically while driving action with your messaging.
