Think back to an important conversation you had recently in which you wanted to achieve a particular result. Examples: Trying to convince your parents to buy something for you; asking your employer to change your work schedule; explaining to a friend on how to do something; trying to explain directions to a particular location to a spouse/friend, etc. In your analysis, explain the following: 1. What was your purpose (inform, persuade, entertain) in the conversation and the message strategy you chose to achieve your purpose? 2. What was the communication channels used during the conversation and how did they affect the outcome? 3. What type of "interference" (internal or external) did you experience during the conversation? 4. What steps did you take to adjust to feedback? 5. What (if any) changes would you make to in preparing for and carrying out the conversation if you had to do it all over again?
