Competent Communication

I don’t know who the competent communicator that I would like to model behind but I do know the traits and qualities I would like to exhibit in order to be a communicator that is effective.  I would like to be knowledgeable of topic, sympathetic, informative, understanding, resourceful, poised, and reactive.  I would like to embrace these qualities because I believe that in order to communicate one must be able to know what they are speaking about, be understanding of others position, and when needed invoke action that is appropriate.
