In the realm of communication, words often take centre stage. But beneath the surface of spoken language lies a powerful and sometimes overlooked form of expression: body language. In this blog post, we will dive into the significance of body language in communication and explore how learning more about its nuances can enhance interpersonal interactions.
As a speech-language pathologist, I do wonder what differentiates those successful communicators from those who are less successful in communicating on emotionally-charged issues. Likewise, how can I support my clients in vocalizing their allyship wherever they stand on various geopolitical issues and current events in a professional, respectful, and productive manner.
A collaborative approach focuses on bringing different professionals together from diverse backgrounds to achieve a common goal. In consideration of a clinical healthcare setting, a collaborative team is a group of unique healthcare professionals from various fields that support a client's care and plan (Taberna et al., 2020).
Job interviews are a crucial part of the hiring process. Making a great first impression is key. It’s essential to prepare by researching the company, understanding the role, and practicing responses to common interview questions. Interviews can be tricky, particularly when the questions are very specific or require an in-depth answer. There is no shame in not knowing the answer to an interview question. It’s all in how you go about it.
Stuttering, a communication disorder characterized by disruptions in the normal flow of speech, affects millions of individuals worldwide. While there is no shortage of speech therapy options aiming to address and alleviate stuttering, a growing body of research emphasizes the importance of acceptance in the therapeutic process.
As technology continues to evolve, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in a professional capacity within the healthcare system is on the rise. As such, it is warranted to consider how artificial intelligence could be integrated into a speech therapist's practice.
Social skills are a set of skills which makes a person communicate effectively with others to create and maintain relationships and network well with people. It is important to have good social skills to be confident and successful.
It’s often assumed that successful people must have an exuberant amount of willpower, dedication or discipline however, this success can likely be attributed to formed habits.
In this article we will see how assertive communication is superior to the other types of communication styles. The other major types of communication styles can be described as passive, aggressive and passive-aggressive.
Part 1 of this series reviewed what artificial intelligence (AI) is and a broad overview of its role in speech and language therapy. This entry will focus on how specific populations can optimize on AI and how AI can be incorporated throughout the client life-cycle. To note, here at WELL SAID, we do not offer a specific artificial intelligence program such as Jessica. However we do intentionally aim to optimize on the artificial intelligence systems that you may already be interacting with on a daily basis.
