ASSIGNMENT:- How do you like to use communication in your profession
Communication skills allow you to understand and be understood by others. These can include
but are not limited to effectively communicating ideas to others, actively listening in
conversations, giving and receiving critical feedback and public speaking.
In every mind there always this question what is communication skills so answer to every mind's
questions,communication skills are the abilities you use when giving and receiving different
kinds of information. Some examples include communicating new ideas, feelings or even an
update on your project. Communication skills involve listening, speaking, observing and
empathising. It is also helpful to understand the differences in how to communicate through
face-to-face interactions, phone conversations and digital communications like email and social
media.
While there are several communication skills you will use in different scenarios, there are few
ways you can be an effective communicator at work.
1. Be clear and concise. Making your message as easy to consume as possible reduces
the chance of misunderstandings, speeds up projects and helps others quickly
understand your goals. Instead of speaking in long, detailed sentences, practice
reducing your message to its core meaning. While providing context is helpful, it is best
to give the most necessary information when trying to communicate your idea,
instruction or message.
2. Practice empathy. Understanding your colleague’s feelings, ideas and goals can help
you when communicating with them. For example, you might need help from other
departments to get a project started. If they are not willing to help or have concerns,
practising empathy can help you position your message in a way that addresses their
apprehension.
3. Assert yourself. At times, it is necessary to be assertive to reach your goals whether
you are asking for a raise, seeking project opportunities or resisting an idea you don’t
think will be beneficial. While presenting with confidence is an important part of the
workplace, you should always be respectful in conversation. Keeping an even tone and
providing sound reasons for your assertions will help others be receptive to your
thoughts.
4. Use and read body language. Body language is a key part of communications in the
workplace. Pay close attention to the messages people are sending with their facial
expressions and movements. You should also pay close attention to the way you might
be communicating (intentionally or not) with your bod y language.
