Interpersonal Communication: A Plan for Growth
Developmental Analysis
Introduction
Hello. My name is XYZ, and I am presenting today my interpersonal communication plan, which will demonstrate the course-related knowledge with a commitment to developing and maintaining healthy, healing, and helping relationships. With effective communication, I will express my ability to compose and deliver a message effectually. The main points of my presentation are:
· An overarching life or career goal and the role of interpersonal communication in line.
· Behavioral blend along with my background and identity and challenges/opportunities I have faced as a communicator
· Communication barriers I have faced throughout this course and their effect on my relations
· Strategies that I feel might help remove those barriers
· Action plan for implementation of those strategies
Overarching Goal
· To become a motivational speaker or teaching.
· Both of these involve speaking in crowds, and this is the area I want to enhance my communication skills.
My overarching goal of life or career goal is to become an energetic, motivational speaker or to become a professor. This goal is essential to me as I have been very good at speaking in crowds since I was very young, as I did not feel restricted in expressing my thoughts. There are times when I might want to hold back my feelings, especially when there is someone close standing in the crowd so that I should not hurt his feelings, but still, I manage to deliver the overall central idea of the conversation. I feel I have influential “people” skills, and I can interact and influence them. The reason for the impression that I can change people is that I am cautious in selecting my words so that I do not upset them. Instead, I try my best to comfort them by being warm through my communication style.

conflict, and I overthink before saying something. I try to avoid making others unhappy, and for that, I sometimes give control of the conversation to others. I do not pressurize anything on anyone since I...…outcomes
· Attempt to negotiate
By making use of the “action” part of the GPA theory of interpersonal communication, I can focus on four dimensions and inculcate them into my action plan for implementing resources and strategies. If I try to be as explicit as possible, it would be beneficial for me to utter a clear message to others, and it would be easier for them to understand. I will try to be less dominant since that is the type of
personality I have. I do not want to hurt other people’s sentiments and evade conflict. I will try maximum
argument but with positive justification to avoid implanting negative thoughts into other participant’s minds about me. I will try to be less controlling; hence, this dimension might be less in my conversation, but I will be as
persuasive as possible. Consequently, I will try to create circumstances of negotiation where both participants have a win-win situation.
Conclusion
I can work well with people since I can get along with them quickly. I can be passively aggressive. I am not very demanding and don’t feel the need to be dominant. I want to conclude with a quote from Anthony Robbins, who is an American author and a motivational speaker, “To communicate effectively, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our…
