GROUP ACTIVITY #1
Module 1: Participating in Workplace Communication (NC II Level)
Read the quote at the beginning of the module and answer the questions. "To
effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the
way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our
communication with others."
1. What does the quote mean and how does it apply to you?
- For me, the quote means that everyone has their own views and
perspective on how they see the world. Everyone has their own way to get
through everything despite difficulty or discouragement and with good
communication it can lead to a greater understanding. Also, when we
communicate, it’s not just about transmitting information, it’s about
understanding how the other person may interpret, react to, or process
that information and communication is understanding one’s word. And we
think it applies to everyone, but in answering, “How does it apply to me?”
Simple as people must intend to listen without judgement and let the
person in front vent out his/her emotions so you can understand where
he/she is coming from. Still, one can express one's opinions if they are
asking for your advice.
2. Think of an example from your life when you understood something
differently from the intent of the person with whom you were communicating
(or when you were trying to communicate a message but was not understood
the same) What happened?
- This example is from Jemina “When I was in college, for instance, I had a
friend who would constantly tell me that "she's older than me," so she
knows what she's doing with "boys." For me, it's not about age, but rather
about knowing the risks she disregards. We argued and misunderstood
what I intended to do, but we eventually talked about it, which is why our
friendship is still strong today.” We therefore draw the conclusion that
there may have been a misunderstanding since the individual was more
interested in the overall idea and lacked the knowledge necessary to
understand how diverse people are when it comes to the tone and dialects
they use, yet after all they chose to understand and fix the
misunderstanding.
- And this example is from Ms. Raquel “When my husband and I were in the
supermarket. I usually read the labels of the item before buying it
because it might be a bit expensive but as I checked the quality, and
quantity is good enough for its price. While my husband will always tell
me “That’s so expensive". And he will get something cheaper with a low
quality but good quantity, and that emphasizes how listening as a form of
adjustment will strengthen the relationship.

3. What actions can you take when giving or receiving information to avoid
misunderstanding?
- It always started by listening, then tried to grasp what he or she was
trying to convey, and then considered different options to help them
understand what you are about to propose. However, this comes with
starting your phrases with something like, "I am saying this as my sole
opinion, and this is not to impose my values so you will agree with what I
am telling you." This serves to remind them that you are not interfering
with their beliefs but rather expressing your opinions regarding whatever
situation he’s/she’s in and always remember to consider the recipient’s
background, knowledge, and communication style because there’s always
a saying “What works for one person may not work for another.”

4. This module will focus on participating in workplace communication. What do


you think is
the relevance between the quote and communication at work?
- Both the quote and the conversations that took place among coworkers
serve as a reminder to choose and consider your words carefully before
commenting to avoid hurting anyone's ego or point of view. Always
acknowledge every emotion and point of view to keep others from feeling
uncomfortable or ignored. In the context of workplace communication, a
quote might emphasize key principles such as clarity, listening, respect, or
feedback and that is what practicing good communication, spreading
positivity, boosting everyone’s morale will create a healthy work
environment.

2. Explain how your own experience of working in a team environment that you
shared at the start of the activity is related to the stages of group
development.
This example relates to our shared experience collaborating with one
another. We recently had a discussion on group tasks that resulted in a
misunderstanding, and someone in the group felt offended by that person's
behavior. However, it is inevitable to be offended without anyone knowing
because of the diverse mix of ages and perspectives in our group. However,
since we are still getting to know one another better and trying to stay clear
of disagreements that could compromise the group's ability to operate
together, we are still in the Forming Stage.
