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.
