Cornerstone of Speaking
Many organizations like my current employer benefit greatly when their workforce can collaborate to achieve organizational goals and have the capacity to get to know each other and understand how to work cohesively.  Understanding my leadership or management style is beneficial to gaining knowledge of my strengths and weaknesses.  My management or leadership styles depicts my perspectives and what I value most.  Having self-awareness will aid me in our communication with the people I work with or those around me.  Knowledge of who I am is a form of empowerment to advance in my personal or professional pursuits.013
            Based on Treasure’s (2018) recommendation, to improve my future presentations, I will follow the four cornerstones of effective communication, Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, and Lovee.  First, when I deliver my presentation, I need to invoke honesty where my message(s) is delivered clearly and transparency.  Second, my audience needs to recognize my authenticity by being myself and not pretend to be someone else.  Third, my method of delivery has to represent my integrity where my audience can feel and relate that I am who I am.  And lastly, my audience need to be able to have that open mind and recognizes that the words that come out from my mouth are from my heart and that my real concern for them is to wish them well because of my love for them as an individual or a human being. 
            In addition to delivering a presentation that is based on Treasure’s (2018) HAIL, in my future communications, I will adapt Hart’s communication skills.  When attending a meeting of open discussions, I will not be involved in any conversation without first making sure that I have everyone’s attention or focus towards me.  Once I have everyone’s attention to focus, I will commit to my stance or story by using phrases such as “this is the truth” or “I am not kidding you, I am telling you my honest opinion,” etc.  Then, before delivering my presentation to a large audience, I would experiment my speech or presentation to a small audience like my husband, members of my family and friends.  
Conclusion
Communication is imperative to our relationship.  Whether at work or home.  Clear and transparent communication is most essential for leaders like me to be successful professionally and personally.  To be able to develop consistent growth as a leader, it is of utmost importance that I learn the most effective way to be a persuasive communicator.  By mentoring my team in mastering the art of transparent communication, as a team, we will have the ability to reach a higher degree of excellence in our leadership abilities.

A634.9.4.RB – A Reflection of our Learning

-
A Reflection of our Learning Ethics and Corporate Responsibility has been for some reason that I cannot explain has been very challenging to me in comparison with the other ten courses that I have completed so far.  At first, my first impression of the course was that how complicated can the course be.  I have lived my life and placed myself on high moral and ethical standards based on my mother’s influence, my teachers, instructors, mentors, etc.  But I was wrong.  I found myself digging very hard, reading the instructions and still found myself sometimes confused as to how to phrase my thoughts and put them into words. This course had made me look deeper into who I am and the ethical and moral standards that I uphold.  I have always believed that e thics is that of our moral beliefs that conform to the way we live and the way we create our world through the choices we make every day.  We are the best of who we are when we ethically live our lives in excellence, compassion, acco

A521.4.4.RB – Listening

Listening             According to Peters (2009), the best strategy that an organization to be successful is for every member of the organization to be committed to strategic listening rather than a commitment to the strategic plan.  Strategic listening is listening intently to understand.  Johnson (n.d.) said that the epicenter of strategic conversations and excellent communication is listening.  When we listen to someone, it allows the speaker to simplify their thoughts and will have the ability to reflect back on their thoughts with more clarity.             Peters (2009) stated that to a certain degree, listening has a degree of importance to our profession, but he is challenging us to reflect on possibility being an 18-second manager.  Most recently on our payroll week, I was overwhelmed with payroll, new employee onboarding, and employee relations issue.  When I am processing payroll, I usually close my door with a note outside “please do not disturb, processing payroll” so

A634.3.4.RB – The Harder They Fall

According to Yukl, (2012), Leadership is the process of influencing others to understand and agree on the ways to accomplish objectives and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to achieve shared goals (p. 7).  To be able to analyze and assess the effectiveness of and different approaches to leadership, it is of the utmost importance to discuss various ways of how leadership is defined.  Yukl (2012) indicated that leadership has many modes of denotation for different individuals. Therefore behavioral scientists and practitioners believe that leadership is a vital phenomenon that can be defined in various ways.  Many organizations, may it be a not-for-profit, private businesses or governmental, benefit greatly when their workforce can collaborate to achieve organizational goals and have the capacity to get to know each other and understand how to work cohesively.  Different studies conducted by psychologists indicated that an individual’s ethical behavior is
