One moment where I observed someone with superior communication skills, was when I watched a public debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham. Both had the complete opposite opinion from each other, but they were having a very calm conversation. They showed that you can still show great respect to someone you completely disagree with.

Superior communication skills involve being able to stay calm while in a debate. I find that to be one of the most difficult things for many people although there should always be respect.

I remember one time I went to a Goalkeeper Camp at SMU university. There was a goalkeeper that could talk more and know how to talk to his team, a lot more than I did. The impact it changed in my life was that, i knew how to talk to my defense a lot more. Knew how to be a lot more talkative with me team.

One time I was having a debate in class and the other debater had far superior communication skills then me. He had way higher vocabulary and presented his points through superior logic and connecting with the audience.I just remember being shocked about how well he was getting his points across. So now anytime i debate i try to use that same method to successfully show superior communication

Someone I had observed time and time again with superior communication skills would be my older sister. She would talk her way into a favorable position and obtain her end goal through her sly words and silver tongue. If she was grounded, she would slowly worm her way out of the situation. She would be cunning as she convinced my mother to return the phone she had taken up. From there my sister would work her way up until it would be like she was never grounded to begin with. It taught me that if you have a silver tongue, you could talk your way out of anything and convince others of anything.

When I was running for Miss Hispanic I noticed how Rhonda and her husband Henry, The couple in charge of the Hispanic Heritage Council, had superior Communication skills. The day of the festival there is a lot of stress and you have to find a way to keep everything in order. I noticed how they went to every booth to communicate with all the vendors and when giving instructions/orders to volunteers they made it seem simple. They were also constantly on stage presenting the acts and making the crowd laugh. The impact it made on me was how it showed that communicating can solve problems and to have confidence while on stage.

One time that I observed a person with superior communication skills was when I got to observe my dad defend someone in court. The way he articulated his words and his confidence proved to be very convincing. This was a memorable moment because I was able to see my dad at work for the first time which was awesome! Seeing my dad and observing his abilities in court made me want to consider the possibility of being a lawyer.

My most memorable time of someone being a great communicator was when I visited a convention talking about bio mechanical engineering. The speaker was extremely engaging and caused me to think about the process of mechanical engineering. What made this person such a great speaker was that he flowed through his speech very nicely and used a good diction to describe the bio mechanical engineering.

I observer superior communication skills when I went to a field trip to Grayson County College with the Criminal Justice Club. More specifically it was when one of the professors was going through past crime scenes and he was going through literally everything in detail. What made this memorable was that it was a topic I was actually interested in. This impacted me by realizing that when you're dealing with something like crime scenes you have to be clear and in depth and this is something I have to master for when I enter a law enforcement career.

A time I observed superior communication skills was when I had a conversation with my old youth director. She was giving me advice on how to look at life. Because I was younger and did not know much, she was superior with the communication skills and she was the one telling me what to do. The moment was memorable because the advice she gave me was something she truly believed and it has stuck with me for all these years.

One person I observed that had superior communications skills was my brother. One time last year he was debating with another student in class and my brother was proving his points more calm and clearly. The other kid was becoming mad because he knew he was losing the debate and began making dumb statements. He got so mad that he decided to punch my brother in the face. Even after all of that my brother kept calm. It impacted my life because i have never seen anyone be so calm after taking a right hook to the face.

I experienced superior communication in my life with job interviews. They talked in such a way that made them superior and made me believe everything they was saying. It made an impact on my life because I realized if you have the right communication skills it will take you far in life.

Last year for Martin Luther King Day my father took me to Austin College for a MLK Breakfast. Several people spoke at the breakfast, but there was one man in particular who I actually wanted to listen to because he caught my attention and held it until the end of his speech. The ability to grab an audiences attention shows great communication capabilities and he did just that. I will always remember this moment because it really opened my eyes to some things that I now find myself trying to help out with.

A time in my life when i felt that someone had more superior communication than me was when i was talking to my mom, but we where working so she was my boss. The job was a nursing job so she was being very technical with what she was saying and i actually had to ask some questions. The way she talks to be at work is a lot different then when at home because work its more professorial.

In my English class, I have a classmate who's very fluent and articulate whenever we have classroom discussions or presentations. This is memorable because it's something I experience almost every day. From this, I strive to be that eloquent whenever I speak or write.

One time, I observed a person with superior communication skills a few years ago, my English teacher. Mr.G gave us a hard project and we did not understand it, than he explained it and we were able to do the project. He had the ability to grab students attention and he also explained things clearly.

One time I experienced an individual with superior communication skills was my great-grandmother defusing a serious argument between my dad and his father. She stayed calm and used her tone to calm them down as well. It was a memorable experience because it's very complicated to calm my dad down. Finally it impacted my life by showing me how to communicate effectively when faced with two highly volatile people.

A time I experienced superior communication skills was at my friends house, because her dad is a politician. When he talks you can tell he is experienced with public speaking and communicating in a professional setting. He can effectively get his point across and I look up to him a lot.

The pastor at my church is the person I think has great communication skills. I find the way he explains things very impact full and he puts it in a way that most people don't think, and the way he uses different tones to keep everyone paying attention. He's had a big impact on my life, because it makes me appreciate going to church or and I now pay more attention than I have before.

One person I have seen with superior comunication skill was my sister in law. Because we had a party at my brothers house and I guess the neighbors had called the cops. And my sister in law was the one who had talked to the cop and and I was just hearing the way she was talking to the cop she was doing a good job and after a few more minutes she had convicted the cop that everything was fine then he left.

A time I observed superior communication skills was at my place of work not too long ago. I had been attempting do deal with a very rude and stubborn guest, but all they could do was talk down to me and make me feel like I was incompetent. I directed them to my manager, who easily calmed them down and solved the dilemma. This crosses my mind quite often, because I can't really see myself being reasonable with an unreasonable person. It's impacted me in the sense that I've learned I will not be ready for management any time soon.

The time i observed superior communication skills was when i went on vacations to Missouri to visit some family and i met my cousin for the first time and he took me out with some friends and everytime he would see a girl he would talk to her & even get their number. Many people call it "game" but thats just a communication skill . But also when we went to restaurants or stores his vocabulary was so much better than mine . And thats when i realized i needed to stop being shy and my vocabulary needed to get better.

A time when I observed superior communication is when I was at work and all the top cooperate people came to my job. And they asked all the employees questions and they talked in a well proper manner. It was memorable and it impacted my life by making me realize that I didn't want to be an employee, I want to be a CEO in the future.

I remember one time when I met my cousins friends in the army, and they were very intelligent and told me a lot of important things that was good to know for my future and my plans that I want to achieve. I respected them a lot and honored them. I will never forget that moment and what they told me.

One time I observed superior communication skills was when I watched the presidential election. Although Trump is less professional in his choice of words, he still has aspects of a good communicator. They both must have discipline when debating as to not start an argument outside of the realm of politics. It is very cool to observe these debates and speeches to better inform yourself and gain insight.

The one person that really taught me about communication is JD my boyfriend, i really didn't realize how important it is when you are in a relationship with someone. The key thing for a relationship or any relationship is communication, when something is wrong or your feelings gets hurt you need to tell the person about whats bother you cause not only are you hurting in the inside but its going to continue because you don't tell them about it so they are going to keep doing what they are doing, i will always remember this life lesson.

My best experience with someone who had superior communication skills would be when i went on a hog hunt and it was the guide. He was marine sniper and had extreme knowledge of how the world worked. He told me when i make money while I'm sleeping i would be successful. He was extremely intelligent and well spoken.

Someone that really taught me communication was my Twin Dyamond , I learned how important it is to have communication in a friendship. When really the key to a friendship or any relationship is to communcat with each other because if you don't then you ruin it all. I mean keeping everything to your self and not communcating with each other is not only hurting you but hurting each other .. I lost a lot of friend because I didn't know how to use my communication skills the right way

My mentor in raising rabbits has some of the best communication skills I have ever seen. At a rabbit show(her being the judge) she judged each rabbit and then went on to talk about each rabbits quality. She was sure to state why each rabbit was placed the way they were. From this I learned about not only other people's rabbits, but what I could do to fix and breed certain traits out of my program.

A time when I observed superior communication was one time that I went to Chicago. My parents decided to stay and live there so we did. I had to start a new life basically new home, new school and my parents had to find a new job. When I started a new school it was really hard i didn't know anyone which made it harder to come around. On the second day i started communicating with a girl that was very friendly she showed me around the school and to meet her friends. She made a great impact in my life during then time I was there because thanks to her i became very comfortable around my school.

A person who i thought was a superior communicator was a teacher I had in middle school, Ms. Penn. Since the beginning of the year when i had her. She got right to the point she knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it done. That's how her and I got along very well, because of her i know not to let anyone to close to me, because of her i know to stand up for myself and what's right. I changed so much because of her and her words, we had this bond that nobody could brake we became true friends.

I have observed superior communication skills watching speeches and people talking in front of crowds, but I have also seen some great communication skills by a few of my teachers. One of my teachers this year is great at making me understand things, she explains and teaches with such clarity that its hard not to do good in her class.

A time when I saw someone with superior communication skills was when I was speaking with my recruiter about enlisting into the Army I feel he had superior communication skills because the way he spoke and explained the opportunities that would be open to me if I enlisted what made this momenent memorable was the fact that he was being truthful with what he was saying and this impacted me because all my life I heard recruiters will lie in order to get someone to enlist but my recruiter had all the proof at hand and was willing to share all the information I needed to know before I made my final decision

I observed superior communication skills not too long ago from a speaker we had come talk to many classes. She seemed sure of herself and always had direct eye contact with the audience. The way she talked and what she talked about inspired me to possibly follow her footsteps career wise.
