Competent Communicators

I feel like I write a lot about my parents, particularly my father.  My father is a competent communicator so it works for this assignment. 

My father is extremely articulate, often well versed in the topics he is discussing, and is quite persuasive in his points.  He gestures as needed throughout his conversation which allows for less distraction for the listener and often times backs up what he is saying with pinpoint evidence from credible sources (which is quite impressive).  Now that technology allows us to have information at our fingertips, this has allowed for even more validation in his conversation.  It doesn't help that he is always, I mean always, right.  My father is straight to the point when communicating, using real world examples, almost like a well written essay.  I also think that the reason my father is such an effective communicator is because everyone respects him and values what he has to say.  He worked hard throughout my life to prepare my brother and I to also be competent and effective communicators.
