Task 1 – 100+ words
Identify a document, website or video clip (on YouTube or another online source) that you believe represents an example of effective communication. It can be in any context, business or otherwise, but make sure it is something appropriate to discuss in this class. Post a link to the video, along with a brief written summary of why you think this example shows effective communication in action.
Task 2 – 200+ words
Compose a 200-300 word bio and post it to this forum. Begin it with an interesting, descriptive headline for yourself (similar to your LinkedIn* headline, if you have one).
This is an opportunity to not only “meet” your instructor and classmates, but also to
begin networking, a key business skill. Introduce yourself like you might in a LinkedIn
summary or at a meet-and-greet. Here are some possible prompts:
What are your past and current successes?
What do you value most and how will that contribute to your career?
What are your plans for the future?
What skills do you have that make you stand out in a crowd?
Do you have a favorite quote? What does it say about you?
Can you tell us a story about how you got here?
