Communication has been evolving since primitive ages to the current IT world. From the elementary verbal communication, to hardcopy writing, and to the current softcopy typing. I believe that it is the effective communication skills which our ancestors developed, gave humans leverage against the animals.and ensured the survival of human species.
Verbal communication has always been an obstacle for me since young. I took ES2007S to learn about the secrets and techniques of communicating effective, as I foresee that I will need it later on when I embark into the working life. In the business world, it is very important to have your messages and ideas deliver across to your boss, managers, colleagues and customers, and acknowledge by them. It is one of the key points to achieve success. If they do not understand what you are trying to say, or misinterpret what you say, one may lose a business deal or lose his job. Other than being an effective sender, we also need to be an effective listener. Being able to decode what our boss, managers or customers want, so we will be able to fulfill the tasks and requirements requested by them.
Communication skills are also very important to secure and enhance the relationship and bonding between family members, friends and lifetime partner. Communication is the fundamental to maintain a relationship. Without communication, one will not understand what the other is feeling. Resulting in the destruction of family and friendship. With the help of effective communication, we can resolve the misunderstanding and strengthen the bonds between each other.
In conclusion, to be equipped with a set of effective communication skills will help me a lot as I embrace myself into the next step of life :)
