1.5. Effective Communication. Questions for self-reflection

1. Do I also use person-first language and gender-neutral terms consistently?
2. Am I adjusting my verbal and written communication (e.g., slowing down, rephrasing, using visuals) to suit the varying language proficiency levels of my audience, especially when working with non-native speakers?
3. Do I model openness and actively listen to understand, not just to reply?
4. Am I conscious of the diverse cultural interpretations of non-verbal cues like eye contact, personal space, and gestures?
5. Do I provide a variety of opportunities (e.g., verbal, written, anonymous) for others to share their thoughts and provide feedback, ensuring that everyone's opinions are heard?
