Communication

This week in class we moved forward into the second part of our class titled "two." This part of class focuses more on interpersonal relationship than just on ourselves.

To start this section off we had a presentation on communication. I felt like I learned a lot from this presentation and gained a new perspective on communication as a whole. Communication is definitely an important part of organizational behavior and it will be important in our future healthcare careers. I decided to do a little more research on communication myself and I came across an interesting TED talk.

The talk is titled "The art of wearable communication." When I first clicked on the video I thought the primary focus of the video was going to be on nonverbal communication. As I started watching I realized that the speaker, Kate Hartman, legitimately makes "wearable communication." Throughout the video she shared physical accessories that she has made that comment on the way that we communicate with each other. The video is quirky and fun but it also has a serious message on communication that a lot of people can relate to. For example, she created a hat called "The Muttering Hat" that has tethers off the side and although it does not work, the fictional hat would take your thoughts and transmit them off the tethers when held next to someone else's ear. The idea is quirky but it comments on how we communicate with each other and the relationship between people when they share ideas. Below I have attached a picture of her "Muttering Hat" from the TED talk.
