Self-assessment Tool

I communicate transparently, stating clearly, what I want to express.

I can change my viewpoint based on the valid opinion of others.

I find it easy to listen to what other people have to say without interrupting.

When someone is talking to me, I think about what I am going to say next to make sure I get my point across correctly.

The visuals in my presentation match well with the information I am communicating.

To prepare for my presentation, I think carefully about the message I want to send.

I use organizational patterns (specific introduction and conclusion, sequenced material within the body, and transitions), so that my communication is as clear as possible.

I pay attention to my non-verbal behaviour, like facial expressions and eye contact, to make sure I stay engaged with the audience.

I encourage my audience to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

When I set up a meeting, I try to reduce the risk of conflicts.

I consider cultural barriers when planning my communications.

Before I communicate, I think about what the person needs to know, and how best to convey it.

When I write a memo, email, or other document, I give all of the background information and detail I can to make sure that my message is understood

I use appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to illustrate a subject.

I use high quality, credible, relevant sources to develop ideas that are appropriate for the discipline and genre of the writing.
