Communication is part and parcel of our lives. Thus, it is crucial that we master effective communicational skills to enhance relationships in every aspect of our lives. Even the success in our career strongly depends on our ability to communicate well. Perhaps this could be the reason why almost all jobs advertisements state good communicational skills as a requirement besides the paper qualifications. With the increasing emphasis on effective communicational skills, one should understand how the various forms of communication function to convey messages.
In the written form of communication, one has to be really wary of the usage of words and phrasing of words as the tone can be easily misinterpreted by the readers. For example, the word “ whatever” can imply that the writer is not bothered with what the reader decides to do though, he could have implied that he is perfectly fine with anything. Knowledge of correct usage of grammar is also very essential. Though there are several complex tools to check grammar and spelling, they are not totally reliable.
In the spoken form of communication, both verbal and non-verbal cues contribute to the success in engaging the audience and effectively conveying the message across to them. Since more than 90% of the communication depends on the non-verbal cues, one should pay more attention to body language as even a smallest gesture can send the wrong message across. Not only do the verbal and non-verbal cues help to communicate but also brings out one’s personality. As such these cues certainly help to make a good first impression among people.
Thus, learning these lifelong communications skills will certainly give one an edge over the rest to succeed in life…
Hi Rathi!
ReplyDeleteOkay firstly, I think you're post does effectively cover how effective communication is important to people in general. But i think you could point out a few things of which how this skill can be applicable to yourself? But otherwise, I think you've covered all the different points very well and it is a post well done! =)
I like your conciseness in describing the importance of effective communication. Also, the transition from one point to another was very smooth.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I agree with Shu Ting that you should somehow relate some of these points to yourself.
Finally, I think it would be good to have a subject heading for your post.
