Effective Communicators

         The person who impressed me the most in my life was Pastor Eugene James Williams. Elder Williams was the pastor of Power House Church of God in Christ and was also my third oldest brother. He is a retired from the Navy and a husband of Elizabeth Williams and the father of two daughters LaTonya Williams A teacher and Zipporah Williams who is a federal lawyer of Memphis, Tennessee. My brother’s would always take the time with us, and we would do whatever he said to do. I have never heard my brother raised his voice at anyone, and he knew how to draw people to him. Pastor Williams used proper communication skills when he talked to people. He expressed himself with the truth, respect, and concern about other feelings. He was an efficient communicator every person he came in contacted with he touched them with his voice of compassion or with a great big smile. He would always tell his siblings to respect him not because he was a preacher but because it just the right thing to do.

        
           
           Elder Williams can reach the greatest attitudes whether they were negative or positive. He would also use right body language when communicating with a person. He would look you directly in your eyes and nod at the appropriate time, with a smile just as big as the environment. Elder Eugene Williams communicated with authority, but he expressed himself with the greatest of respect, for even the least of one. I have never seemed pastor Eugene James Williams upset or angry he always has one of the brightest smiles on his face. When people asked him why you are always smiling? He replied, “Laughter does sound like medicine.” I would like to pattern my life by being a true example to all people I come in contact. We as adults have to live and lead by examples and not just for ourselves but for men also. Elder Eugene James Williams had a positive life style he never communicated with negative words and body language. He was the first to go into the Arm Forces and make something out of his life and his two children’s follow in his footsteps. Because he practiced influence, and being a positive role model and by putting his family’s first.
             I would like to pattern my communication behavior after Elder Eugene James Williams because he was a positive influence on people. He believes in diversity not just his own race but all people who came in contact with Elder Williams loved him. He was a family man, putting them first; he was a people person putting them first; most of all he feared God. His favor bible verse was “A soft answer turn away anger but a grievous answer stir up anger.” The person I want to model information behaviors while I live and when I die is Pastor Eugene James Williams. My beloved Brother who I loved and love unto this day. Mom had never whipped or chastised Elder Williams because he was a safe and loveable child. That why I am patterning my life after my brother’s because he was a positive example for all 14 siblings.
