#1 Why is effective communication skills important to me?

I have always looked up to people with excellent interpersonal skills. Their ability to relate to others and make others feel good is intriguing. Eventually, I figured that maybe effective communication is an aspect of good interpersonal skills, especially if one lacks natural charisma and a sense of humour.

Effective communication skills help us to relay messages efficiently and appropriately, reducing misunderstandings. Subsequently, these skills will aid in creating a productive and conducive environment for work and play. Consequently, great rapport with friends, family, colleagues, subordinate and superiors can be built with a magical touch of sincerity and humour to our effective communication skills.

In a campus environment, it is always beneficial to have a wide network of friends, whom I can rely on. I am well aware of my limitations because I can neither do projects alone, nor overcome obstacles all by myself. Therefore, I need effective communication skills to create a common understanding with other students in order to sustain or forge friendships.

Being a practical Singaporean, I should love to know the secrets behind the appropriate method of communication with my superiors. There have been many instances when I feel inadequate in my interaction with society's elite or people of senior status. The root of this inadequacy may be more of a mindset issue than a communication problem. Nevertheless, learning valuable communication skills will aid me in my paper chase, as well as my future working career . For example, how to effectively communicate to my professors, so that they will willingly compose testimonials or recommendations I seek. In addition, the fruit of effective communication, a harmonious working environment will enhance my emotional and physical health. As a result, my productivity will increase. Hence, clarity, tactfulness and positive body language in communication with superiors are significant to me.

I have read about the 7Cs in the textbook. It’s definitely easier to read about these skills than to practise them. Since effective communication skills are of great importance, my goal for this module is to be proficient in the 7Cs through verbal and written form.

WELCOME ES FRIENDS=)!
