presentation on motivation

We did our group presentation on Motivation today and i thought it went well. We covered intrisic and extrinsic motivations, as well displayed maslows hierachy of needs pyramid showing what motivates us to satify both needs of survival and needs that we dont really need to satify but still want to grasp. Also discussed was how different people may be motivated depending on the laedership style, so in sport some coaches may motivate followers by fear and some may use motivational speach to boost spirits. I myself have experienced all types of coaches in my 18 years of hockey.

team presentations

i think the teams have done very goos presentations so far on communication verbal and non verbal, and i like the activities they have done with the class as it gets everyone engaged. The non verbal task of bringing the pole done with everyones fingers underneath was pretty cool, and shows how hard it can be to get things done properly or quickly without being able to communicate verbally.

communication

We have been learning about conversational rules and the difference between low-context and high context cultures. I think its pretty interresting how different cultures can be when communicating, like how high contex cultures often dont show true feelings or give meaning to puases or delays in conversations were low context think of pauses as awkward.
