Communication Role Models

When I think of effective communication, I think about my brothers who are police officers. They have to be able to have good communication skills to do their job properly. Good communication skills enable them to diffuse violent altercations, to get people to do what they want, and to create a positive relationship with the public. When talking to victims they have to show empathy, otherwise the situation may get worse. They are quick to say to me, do unto others as you would have them to do to me. They are taught to treat people with respect as they let them. My oldest brother is now a captain of his own squad and has been on his city’s news station talking about various issues in his community. He is a well-respected person and has become officer of the year. Although I am not a police officer, I am still their little sister and they both have taught me about how to communicate with people and to network. So far it has been a great asset to my life.
