In our society today, I think President Barak Obama demonstrates a competent communicator. He demonstrated this during his 2008 presidentital debate where he exhibited a calm manner and effectively communicated his points. When he was being attacked, he calmly responded with intellecte and patience. During his speeches he is able to engage the audience by looking at them and speaking to them in venicular language that address all groups of people. He is an eloquent speaker and his Harvard education along with life skills has developed him into the communicator that he is. Not only is he effective when speaking but also in his written words. In his books he writes with compassion and paints a picture that places you at the scene he is speaking about.
I would like to model my communication behavior after him by being calm when I speak in public and engaging my audience with words that will motivate. I admire Pres. Obama that he thinks before he speaks. His critics will say that he moves to slow, but I like the fact that he will look at a situation and think what will be the best way to communicate it. I realize that in my work with young children that I must listen more than speak and give the children and their family the opportunity to communicate their needs. President Obama inspires me and that is what I want to do is inspire others to give quality early childcare to children.
