Links Between Communication Competency And Social Competency During And After An Artist S Career

In "Links between Communication Competency and Social Competency during and after an Artist's Career," Nahvi examines artists using his firsthand experience as an artist, film documentaries, and research articles discussing social and communication competency in order to deliver a clear explanation of what barriers artists face in communicating and relating with other artists and non-artists. Artists tend to deprive themselves of face-to-face communication for prolonged periods of time for the sole purpose of immersing themselves in their art, and in doing so social and communication difficulties arise. These deficiencies are a means to use and abuse artists, which are often times preserved through stereotype reinforcement. It is essential to recognize these weaknesses and find ways to improve them. This study provides an inside look at artists and the interpersonal relations and social behavior and influence affecting this group, and provides recommendations for how artists can retrain themselves to develop their social and communication skills.

Despite the declaration that we are living in a “post-racial America,” multiple recent events in which Black lives were prematurely ended have sparked a racial reckoning within the United States.

This book is focused on work, occupation and career development: themes that are fundamental to a wide range of human activities and relevant across all cultures. Yet theorizing and model building about this most ubiquitous of human activities from international perspectives have not been vigorous. An examination of the literature pertaining to career development, counseling and guidance that has developed over the last fifty years reveals theorizing and model building have been largely dominated by Western epistemologies, some of the largest workforces in the world are in the developing world. Career guidance is rapidly emerging as a strongly felt need in these contexts. If more relevant models are to be developed, frameworks from other cultures and economies must be recognized as providing constructs that would offer a deeper understanding of career development. This does not mean that existing ideas are to be discarded. Instead, an integrative approach that blends universal principles with particular needs could offer a framework for theorizing, research and practice that has wider relevance. The central objective of this handbook is to draw the wisdom and experiences of different cultures together to consider both universal and specific principles for career guidance and counseling that are socially and economically relevant to contemporary challenges and issues. This book is focused on extending existing concepts to broader contexts as well as introducing new concepts relevant to the discipline of career guidance and counseling.
