Interpersonal Communication Here Culture in Term Paper

Although I have been through many of these encounters in my career, this one was going to be different because I knew that she was going to ask my opinion on how our hurricane evacuation and subsequent command relocation went. Although I prepared myself and practiced my answer, I let my nerves get the best of me and did not even come close to communicating the message that I intended. I think this happened because I was going to tell her that I didn't feel the command did enough in supporting their people during the recovery effort and that the people that were still in need are being ignored.Instead, I painted a rosy picture and basically told her that everything was moving along smoothly. By not communicating my message properly, I'm sure she now incorrectly perceives that everything is good and that her people are being taken care of appropriately.
