Reflect:

Take time to reflect on a specific experience you had in the workplace

where you faced the challenge of communication apprehension. Think

about how to overcome this challenge. What changes can you make to

improve how you communicate at work? Consider communication as both the

problem and solution.

Write: Based on course materials and your own reflections, address the following:

• Describe a time you found yourself in a
  situation where you faced a specific form of communication apprehension
  in the workplace. Be sure to explain the apprehension itself and how
  you experienced it. If your work experience is limited, consider a time
  when you were working with others in a different context, such as
  school or a club.
• Based on advice from Bevan and Sole (2014),
  explain some specific strategies you can use to overcome the
  communication apprehension(s) you listed and make yourself a more
  competent communicator.
• Read and formally cite Bevan and Sole to discuss the role of communication in being a professional.

Thoroughly address all three elements of this
prompt by writing at least two to three sentences on each element. Use
the course readings at least once to help you make your points.
Consider copying and pasting these tasks into a word file and addressing
each of them separately.

Your initial response should be 200 to 300 words in length and is due by Thursday.
