The Reasons Why Developing Effective Communicative Skills Is Important For Me

If we flip through the Recruitment section of the newspaper, almost every job opportunity requires candidates to possess good communicative skills. Communication skill is an asset to all firms. It is ubiquitous! But good news is it can be acquired. So fret not my friend, one just needs the patience and practice. Communication occurs every time one interacts with another individual. It is inevitable.

Life is about ‘US’, not ‘I’. After all, there’s neither ‘I’ nor ‘U’ in the word ‘TEAM’. But I always believe that effective communication begins with ME. Effective communication gives rise to team dynamics where everyone works together towards achieving a common goal.
Communication varies largely with culture. Travelling encourages me to appreciate the many cultures present. Surely I wouldn’t want to give them the wrong impression by unknowingly transgressing any ‘cultural’ boundaries. The world is my classroom and I make it a point to prepare myself before I leave for a country.

Talking about classrooms, I aspire to become a teacher. This profession requires me to communicate well with students. Not only will I need to present my lessons effectively, but I need to listen to them. Identifying confused and troubled faces serve as feedbacks for me to understand my students better.
Even the tiny cells in our body communicate through means of hormones and receptors, which transduce signals efficiently for the body to function well. Similarly, if individuals are not able to communicate properly, the team or community will not function well too.
