Introduction
In this document, my interpersonal communication assessment will give me a guide to which areas I need to improve by comparing the areas with my lower scores versus the areas in which I have an above-average score. After performing my interpersonal communication assessment, higher scores included communication planning, message creation, and message sending. I
scored fairly in areas like listening and interpreting messages and receiving feedback. On the other hand, I could have done better in communicating using technology, as shown in the figure below. These guidelines are presented with my need to improve using technology to communicate.
Interpersonal Communication Skills Improvement Goal
Using technology is a specific aspect of interpersonal communication
that shows my most significant need for work over the next five weeks. Communication loading videos is a less-than-desired struggle that I face in my everyday life. This will be the opportunity that I will utilize to build my knowledge and confidence to overcome this type of communication
skill.
Significance and Motivation
In the next four weeks of learning and learning more in-depth about this type of communication, will help me overcome my video anxiety and try to speak slower to be clearer in my delivery. I have great inspiration from James Earl Jones, with his confidence, clarity, and empathic dialogue techniques that he demonstrates on camera. That will be the standard to aim for. If I apply myself, it is possible because my first step in this improvement is to know myself and where I need to start to work on this goal.
I built anxiety and stage fright when speaking in public; this is so ironic since in my time in the service, I would speak and guide over three hundred Soldiers at any time.
Improving this area of my interpersonal communication will be personally and professionally beneficial. From a personal point of view, is not that I have a fear of speaking in public; instead, the amount of people and the crowding is what gives me anxiety.

I have no issues with different social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram, It is just hard to keep my composure in front of an actual crowd.
Improvement goals for the upcoming weeks
Week 2
Different technological approaches will be explored and will try conferencing and talking in increasing groups at work. I will incorporate different platforms, such as Zoom and Teams, and learn how they operate.
Week 3
More media platforms will be used with family and friends. This will allow me to get more confident in front of the camera.
Week 4
I will make a waypoint video upload to evaluate my confidence and how fluid my filming is while communicating. Assessing Progress
In week three, I will ask my family and friends for feedback to assess my progress. This feedback will be used in week four and compared to check on the development of my communication. This will be used in the upcoming weeks to evaluate my improvement. I will continue to ask as many people as I can to continue my communication improvement, and that will lead me to check if I am becoming skillful in the platforms needed to be successful and fluent in the personal and professional world.
