Sometimes I do find myself communicating differently depending on the group I am speaking in front of. I adapt my delivery methods and techniques as it relates to the implied needs of the group. It is definitely easier to communicate with people I see as similar to myself because of my comfort level with them. However, I feel I am extremely empathic and desire to communicate with everyone equally and try my best to find a link or connection for smooth lines of communication. Some of the ways I adapt my communication skills when speaking with someone from another group or culture is to listen well, not interrupt, repeat what I understood, and try to speak clearly/ use facial expressions to get my ideas across. It is important to attempt to make another person comfortable when speaking/communicating with you, so that they are more likely to comprehend your point.
