Written:
1. Text Messages: texting can often seem impersonal and since it is done quickly there can be errors. To avoid offending people, only send text messages when it's really necessary or when you're being very informal.
2. Letters: letters can be a good, thoughtful, and personal way to communicate with someone, but if you have illegible handwriting or if speed is of the essence you might want to consider a different form of communicating.
3. E-mails: E-mails can also seem impersonal and rushed, this can lead to misinterpretation and possible affront. When writing an E-mail you should take your time (if possible) and use your spell checker.

Verbal:
1. Over the phone conversations: When talking on the phone it is easy to get distracted and stop listening, also depending on your phone service and location the sound quality can be compromised. Phone conversations can be very useful as long as you use proper phone etiquette as well as good judgment as to whether the conversation should take place in person or not.
2. In person conversations: Well if you have a bad case of halitosis, in person conversations might not be for you; physical appearances can be distracting as well. When you know you're going to be having an important personal conversation you should definitely mind your appearance and you should always keep good dental hygiene, as well as all the other sorts of hygiene.
3. Speeches: Speech making can be daunting to many individuals, there is and added pressure to speak well and not make mistakes. If you make a mistake while making a speech there is a larger audience and your mistake may be hard to recover from. If you know you're going to make a speech you should be well prepared; have note cards in case you get stuck and rehearse your speech with a friend and ask for their opinions. Trying to relax and not making such a big deal of the event might help as well.

Non-verbal:
1. Facial Expressions:
2. Body language/demeanor

Well, my parents got into the habit of calling me Negatori (a play on my nickname Tori), but I think when I'm confronted with an unpleasant or bad situation, I react reflectively. You have to weigh the pros and cons in your life and adjust accordingly. Although I'm not usually very quick to be excited or happy I'm also not very quick to think negatively about something, I have to have all the information before I can react. In general though, I think I'm have a pretty sunny disposition. I like to keep on the sunny side of life.
I'm usually pretty happy to be at the radio station, so I would think that my attitude is positive while I'm there. I like the people there and they're very nice to have conversations with. I don't think that there is much room for improvement as far as my attitude is concerned, but I'm interested to see what my evaluation says.
My parents always taught me to do everything with a joyful heart, which as you can imagine, I still haven't mastered. I think the real lesson was to have a good attitude though. Complaining doesn't get you anywhere and there are always going to be things you have to do that you simply don't want to. Throughout my life I've seen people with bad attitudes as well as people with good ones, and I've come to the conclusion that having a bad attitude is a waste of time and really doesn't help one bit.
