Core Competencies Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully was during a group presentation in class. I made sure to organize my points logically, use concise language, and adapt my tone to suit my audience. When explaining complex ideas, I used examples and visuals to make the information more understandable. This helped ensure that my message was clear, my group members stayed on the same page, and our audience fully understood our key points.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s idea is when I had to take a position on a controversial issue. Instead of forming an opinion based on personal beliefs alone, I gathered credible sources, analyzed different perspectives, and used data to support my arguments. This approach not only made my case stronger but also helped me develop a balanced and well-informed viewpoint.

If there is disagreements within the group, I find it helpful to listen actively, stay open-minded, and focus on finding common ground. My team had conflicting ideas on how to approach our assignment; instead of letting the disagreement slow us down, I encouraged my partner to share their reasoning and considered different viewpoints. By combining the best elements of our ideas, we created a final product that was stronger than our original plan.
