TOPIC 9: COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA
On
one side, I completed my goals of bettering my writing skills, writing media
releases, basic learning to manage the media, improving my communication
skills, and working in a media environment, but I never thought my learning
experience would go so far beyond these intended objectives. Examples of this
include dressing properly for certain situations, office etiquette, and not
taking smaller events for granted things I learned through the experience of my
mistakes.
I
hope my confidence will grow as time goes on because it was hard for me to
break down my personal barrier of being liked by the players, which I look back
on and cringe, as I was there to do a job, not to make friends. I managed to do
the job and received plenty of positive feedback from my supervisor; however,
it’s the major part of my training that I feel I still struggle with.
My
background is trainee counselor. From
the media, I improve a lot whereby I can still do online counseling sessions just to keep communicating with my clients and easily do appointments to do
counseling sessions. I usually use
WhatsApp to keep in touch with my client about the appointment for the next
session. For the counseling session
itself, I usually use Microsoft Teams. We enjoy using Teams to enhance our
skills on how to use this new technology but always keep on the confidentiality of the clients. The new technologies help counseling career guidance and open
eyes especially when we heard about the issues
of Covid. The innovation of the media
exists in E-counselling or tele-mental health
to keep communicating with clients and people who need counseling services.
This includes computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc. It is important to explain that these
digital tools of communication are important in facilitating efficient communication
between the parties involved. Take for example computers. Through computers, an individual manages to get the capability of accessing the
internet. The internet facilitates communication, mainly because it makes it
possible for people to use social media, as an avenue for meeting friends
and communicating. As an individual, I have a heavy presence in social
media, and I am a member of virtually every social media platform that exists.
This includes Twitter, Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. These social
media platforms normally help me to express myself and also create a
network of friends.
It
is through these platforms, that I managed to learn the importance of having
efficient and good communication skills. However, it is important to explain
that some of the relationships created through the social media platform are
not necessary, and cannot last long. This is because of the different
personalities and tastes that people would always have. Another major strength
that I possess is my outgoing personality. I am an individual who likes to make
friends and sustain the friends under consideration. Because of this
personality, I managed to develop some communication skills that involved
better listening and following up on any communication issues or problems that
may occur between my friends and me. Through this personality, I have managed to
create several friends, with whom we understand each other.
This is some example, I have doing some counseling session with my clients with Microsoft Teams due to few obstacle ,we finally make it online meeting to keep communicate and take care of each other.
