Interpersonal effectiveness
Paper instructions:
Reflection 1
Interpersonal effectiveness is a broad topic that entails many aspects of how we view and interact with the world. Each module, you will take in a great amount of information from a variety of sources—your reading, media presentations, case studies, etc. In addition to graded reflection activities, you are encouraged to keep a journal through the course to reflect on how what you learn applies to your life as a person, professional, and student. This module, your graded reflection activity will focus on your own interpersonal effectiveness and propose ways that you can improve areas of weakness.
For this assignment, you must submit a brief reflection paper to the Dropbox. After completing the reading and lecture for this module, answer the questions below based on your results from the Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment that you completed in Module 1. You should write your reflection paper using Microsoft Word, double-spaced, and using a 12-point font. Provide a reference for any sources, such as your textbook, at the end of your paper. This paper should be about 2 pages in length. Please make sure that you are including the terms and concepts from your readings and course site to support your reflection:
Summarize how you rated yourself on the four components of Interpersonal Effectiveness. Where are you doing well? Where do you need some practice? (Simply report your findings—do not explain your position.)

Personally?
