After reviewing the syllabus and resources on learning discomfort, what are 3 ways in which you’d like to embrace discomfort in this class to further your learning and growth?
I want to be able to stand in front of the audience and give a speech without using filler words or stumbling over my words. At the end I also want to be able to differentiate and practice using casual speech from professional speech.
Push myself to do things even if I feel uncomfortable or I feel standing back is better.
1. I want to learn to speak without stuttering
2. I want to learn to speak without slang
3 I want to learn how properly communicate my entire thoughts
1. I want to be able to go up to someone random and stike up and conversation keeping eye contact and just keep the mood relaxing
2. I would actually like to do a business presentation it could help me with speaking out and in front of people it can also help with solidifying my ideas and passion
3. I want to broaden my reach and build confidence with whatever I do cause anyone will take notice with what your doing as long as it’s with confidence
1. I would want to have the ability to not stutter as much as i do when talking to an audience or classmates
2. Being more social with others and not being awkward. For example instead of people coming to talk to me, I would go to them and make small talk
3. Be able to get in front of people and my fidget as much due to my nervousness
1) I want to be able to feel comfortable during presentations and being able to speak clearly without making mistakes constantly during the presentation.
2) I want to be able to learn how to read high vocabulary words during reading assignments and improve my reading skills
3) I want to improve my writing skills also
1) I want to be to make eye contact with people in the audience as a means to show engagement between the audience and myself
2) I want to be able to feel confident enough to present in a scenario where the instructor ask “okay so who would like to go first?” and I would be the person to raise my hand or stand up and be ready
3) I want to be able comfortably help others feel more comfortable to speak up and say what they might be thinking of adding or being able to be the person to motivate them and give them the slight push they might need to want to also participate. Sometimes all someone needs is an extra push.
A few ways in which I’d like to embrace discomfort in this class to further my learning and growth are taking risks, communicating with out slurring my words and networking with my fellow classmates as much as I can to build my level of comfort when speaking to people. This will not only help with personal growth but, also help with my overall career path. Networking with confidence and building a portfolio of clients.
1:be confident.
2: don’t avoid communication
3: Don’t be afraid to fail,do my best keep learning
What I want to improve in this class is presenting idea and thought fluently and confidently.I would like to improve on me being more social yo meet new people without a problem or feeling shy also embarrassed.One more thing I would would improve on is taking risk when talking to other even if it’s not that result I’m looking for.
I want to be able to present without being embarrassed. I want to be able to talk to new people without feeling shy or judged.
-Be able to talk t people first(I never initiate a conversation)
-Speak freely (I regret not speaking up about things after a conversation)
-Be able to speak to strangers (it’s a requirement for my job)
You see in the beginning as they switched between different pair frames of people, without them saying anything many of them were anxious or contemplating whether they wanted to jump or not
Then in the scene of the female and male, the male is zoning in and out the sound of the female’s voice while also listening to the sound of her voice but you can see how at the same time he’s continuously looking over the ledge of the diving board in contemplation. And as for the female she seemed to be chatty out of nervousness and kind of waiting on the decision of the guys then as you see in the end the guy ends up going for it and the girl not too long after joins him
-dont be afraid to fail at an attempt
– don’t fidget around when speaking
-speak in one tone( don’t start loud and get low because of shyness)
I would like to articulate thoughts in a more clear and concise way, structure more compelling arguments to opposing viewpoints, and speak in an more authoritative tone.
1. I want to be able to make eye contact without feeling uncomfortable
2. Present in front of the class without feeling embarrassed and anxious
3. Become more confident
1.) To speak confidently
2.) To keep eye contact when speaking
3.) To be more passionate on what I talk about
For this class, I plan to put myself more on the spot, to get to know my weak points when it comes to talking in public, and also learn how to read my crown, all this to make myself more comfortable when it comes to public speaking.
speaking out loud. and sometimes put yourself out there.
1. I’d like to become more comfortable in my body language while speaking in front of others.
2. I’d like to analyze others’ discomfort & compare it to my own to identify patterns and trends.
3. Staying engaged during class is always an uncomfortable experience. It’s been a while since I was in class.
3 ways that I’d like to embrace discomfort in this class:
1. Participating more often than not
2. Interacting with my peers
3. Stand up talk there and then
After reviewing the syllabus and resources on learning discomfort. The 3 ways in which I like to embrace discomfort in this class for further growth would be by being able to present more confidence and gain better attention.
1) being consistent to grow each class.
2) being focus .
3) being friendly and sharing each other what we learn in the class
Three ways I would like to embraces discomfort in this class to further my learning experience and growth is to try to be the first to stand up and speak up. another way is to speak without fear. And last be confident with whatever I’m doing.
Three ways ill will like to embrace discomfort is to be more open. also with being okay with being uncomfortable never too be afraid.
I want to have more eye contact when I speak, I want to be confident when speaking, and I don’t want to hold back on what I have to say. I’m a very vocal person, but I want to work on how I present myself.
One way I hope I take from embracing my discomfort is being able to present a project in front of a group of people. Second way is to able raise my hand and give my opinion for the topic. Three way is being able to the first one to start a conversation.
3 ways in which I’d like to embrace discomfort in this class to further my learning and growth is by believing in myself/ putting my best foot forward, asking for help when I need it and being focused, willing to put in the work towards my success.
1. take in a deep breath and try not to dwell on what i am discomforted with
2. acknowledging that there will be no progression in my learning or growth if i do not take in the discomfort.
3. grow confidence in expressing myself and needs without having someone i know/ feel comfortable asking to do for me
