It's great that you are aware of your preference so you can seek the opportunity to create that environment for yourself. How do you adapt for people with different preferences?
Dr. Jean Norris
I LIKE TO USE SOCIAL NETWORKS. FOR MY IS MORE QUICK AND EFFECTIVE USED AUDIO VISUAL MESSAGES, IN COMPARE TO A PHONE CALL OR LETTER.
SUHEILY,
Great insight! What do you do when someone else prefers to use the phone or a letter though?
Dr. Jean Norris
I prefer telephone communiations
How do you think your preference impacts you in your role?
Dr. Jean Norris
I would fall between the Gen X and millennial but i favor many other ways to communicate. I would rather a face to face meeting rather than email or social media.
Christopher,
Interesting! Thank you for sharing.
Dr. Jean Norris
Classified as a "millenial" I actually enjoy written memos such as a traditionalist does. I like written communication because it makes it easier to have something tangible to remind me to respond/acknowledge the communication. I'm a list maker- I make lists for everything- so written memos are definitely closely related to the list-maker in me.
Emily,
Thank you for sharing you insights! Great job.
Dr. Jean Norris
I prefer social networking as a form communication which may not be part of my generation. Generation X prefers email as a primary form of communication.
Rachel,
Thank you for sharing! So knowing this about yourself, what do you do to find other communication preferences? How do you incorporate this into your preference?
Dr. Jean Norris
My generation is the "baby boomers" but I think like a generation X.
Thinking out of the box and asking questions to clarify information are a part of my thought processes. I rather test and email then speak on a phone.
Connie,
It's great you are aware of your communication preference, and that you have adapted beyond your designated style! How do you think this adaptation came about?
Dr. Jean Norris
I perfer emails, ims & text messaging for communication with my student they tend to respond more quickly than a phone call or even letter
Lillian, So your generation communication preference leans more toward phone or letter? Interesting! What was your experience switching your preferred method of communication to a more electronic mode?
Dr. Jean Norris
i like to watch movies. thats a good way to learn for me.
trang,
Yes, this is a good way to learn for many others, too. Can you provide an example of something you've learned via a movie?
Dr. Jean Norris
I am Gen-X , but I find working in admissions I like to work face to face as in the Baby Boomers. I am extremely driven, and like to work as a team.
Nikeline, Interesting. How come you think that is?
Dr. Jean Norris
I used to resist text messages, but now I am OK with them.
