Strength and Challenges in Communicating

Key factors to communicate effectively and efficiently are time and practice. Communication is a skill which requires a lot of time to polish. I believe that only through constant practice and training will then help improve in communication skills. As for me, I have no problem communicating with others or even in formal events. My past experience in the army as well as my work experience have shape me to communicate relatively well with others. I do not face much problems having to speak in front of a crowd, I could convey my massage effectively to others in order to get the job done. There are many challenges faced when communicating with others. The greatest challenged I face when communicating was to generate the proper words to simplified the massage. I know that I do not have a strong foundation in my vocabulary therefore I sometimes it is very difficult to speak the idea. 

Two objectives set to improve my communication skills will be firstly to improve my knowledge of vocabulary subsequently work on my sentence structure when speaking. To be able to speak in a short and concise manner, it requires a vast knowledge of vocabulary. Sometimes, it is extremely difficult to think of the word in that split second which can be quite frustrating.  I believe there many methods to improve in their communication skills. However, one of the many ways to improve communication which I personally feel that it’s effective is to read and listen to the radio. I think reading news article or magazine such as Forbes or business times exposes me to a wide variety of new words and also helped me to improve my sentence structure in writing. Listening to English Channel on the radio allows me to listen to how they speak and how they communicate with their own counterpart. Another radio channel which is helpful to improve is listening to BBC news.

Objective

I felt that, it is extremely important to developed proper communication skills because it is one of the most essential and critical skill in life. It allows us to connect with others by helping to convey ideas and opinion. To communicate effectively and efficiently is an art which is not something that can be master within a day or two. It requires time and practice to communicate well.  Not only must you be able to speak well, eye contact body gestures and the tone does play a huge role in communication. As an engineer to be, there are many situations where communication is vital, such as during a presentation, or working in a team project. Even the slightest miscommunication can cause a catastrophe. There are many ways to enhance and develop communication. As for me, I think that building up a strong foundation of the language will help to improve communication. However, the non-verbal part of communication comes with practice. Therefore, only through practices should than be able to improve how to communicate.
