Think back on an important conversation you had recently in which you wanted to achieve a particular result (i. e. asking your employer to change your work schedule,; explaining to a friend how to change the oil and filter in a car; attemptin, g to talk to your spouse or partner into buying the computer you like rather than the one he/she prefers). Work up a brief analysis of the conversation. In your analysis, explain the following: 1) Your purpose or role in the conversation and the message you were trying to convey;
2) the communication channels used during the conversation and how they affected the outcome;
3) the interference-internal or external-you encountered during the conversation;
4) the steps you took to adjust to feedback:
5) what changes would you make in preparing for and carrying out the conversation if you had to do it over again?
