discussion posts communication
For the following two discussion topics respond with 250 words each and cite if needed.
1) You should have a good understanding of your own personality and communication style, but how well do you understand the styles of other people?
The purpose of this discussion is:
- to practice framing your messages in ways that are appealing to people who are different from you, and
- to understand how “flexing†your communication style can help you become more influential.
For your first post, start by listing your MBTI (Jungian) personality type. Then, describe how you like to communicate, using your personality type as well as any other individual preferences you may have.

2. Identify a strategic networking opportunity. The best networking events will be related to your national business/industry association. Events where you will meet people from top companies and organizations (such as those listed in the Tampa Bay Business Journal or non-profit events where business leaders in your field will be) are appropriate choices, as is a service organization. If you live outside the Tampa Bay area, choose an event in your local area.
