Ever since I was Little, I am an intrapersonal type of person which I am very introverted to interact and talk with people. Especially when communicate with people in English language makes me insecure and lack of confident. Giving speech in front of crow also drain my confidence level. To develop this skill and increase my confidence level, I always practiced my presentation skill and get some feedback. I also participated in student union events to improve my listening and communication skills. I need to kick off my hesitance to be confident talking with people and from mumbling. By contributing efficiently in a group discussion also helps me to improve my verbal communication and English

As a primarily introverted person, I shy away from extraversion which can deter my people and communication skills. While I do not lack interpersonal and social (people) skills, these areas to consider for improvement. To be an effective leader, one must be able to communicate well within small and large groups. An effective leader must have effective social judgement skills. While I do not lack self-confidence or the other traits that are needed for great leaders, I do realize the need to enhance my communication skills significantly to become a greater leader. Ways to enhance and develop my communication and social skills as leader are to be more self-aware, to know and understand different audiences and their communication needs, to be clear and specific in communication efforts, and interpret body language. To be self- aware is to recognize and understand one’s beliefs, values, strength and weaknesses. By knowing and understanding my areas of needed improvement, I am becoming more self-aware and I can progress in the areas of weaknesses. Self-aware also means being in tune with surrounding and being able to analyze and understand my part in different situations. Additionally, being able to adjust and adapt communication to different audiences helps to increase effective communication, as deliver multiple messages allow for more communication efforts.

Before this course. I had learned some public speaking skills in the previous classes, such us how to manage my eye contact, facial expression, gestures
I have a great comfort in engaging others and find it easy to communicate with people. When in a group or engaging with someone one-on-one, I do not find it uncomfortable to engage in a conversation or start one. The strengths I possess in my engagement skills are that I am an extrovert, compassionate, and communicate effectively. However, I do need to work on not always starting a conversation and allowing others to talk first. I also need to improve on my listening skills instead of always feeling that I need to make a contribution to the conversation. Even though I am able to communicate effectively, I sometimes need to remember that others deserve a chance to start an
It is actually the worst side of me that I need to change for good. To be such a passive or introvert person but indeed you are actually a very talkative person is really ashamed. It feels like somehow I am being another character side of me that I don’t even like it. However, in a good perspective way to look at my poor communication skills, I get to learn how to gain my self-confidence privately or most probably in public and to avoid misunderstanding situation as well. There were saying that we need to take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people (Rohn, 2009) and this beautiful words really motivated and inspired me to improve my communication skills. Furthermore, friends and family also helped to build the courage in and out with positive vibes that they have poured
I was told by my mother that as a little girl I was always quiet and that is why I feel that I was naturally born a shy girl, and for my twenty-six-years, I have always struggled with public speaking. In high school, I had to take speech, but even then I struggled with this as much as I do now. Second, I would like to act confident and for that to be shown to the audience, in this case, to my classmates. Also, this could be shown a lot better by talking loud and clear and make good eye contact with my classmates. Lastly, stop comparing myself to my classmates as they are giving their speech.
Improving my communication skills has been a work in progress starting back in the early years of my life. I have always been my own worse critic. Usually beating myself down through interpersonal communication. Now as an adult I have made great improvements but still have trouble dealing with perception and self-image. Not being raised in an environment of positive reinforcement and poor communication in the workplace I have made it a point to change that trait in my own family and professional environment.
Interpersonal relationships is an area of my life that I would like to improve upon. My personality tends to be shy, and extroverted with lower than average social skills. Which is a combination that makes it a little bit difficult to make the interpersonal relationships that I need as an extrovert. The combination of being shy and having unsatisfactory social skills sends the message that I do not want to interact with others when that’s not the message I am trying to send.
Confidence I need to become more confident when speaking to larger groups of people as it demonstrates that I know what I am talking about. My confidence in communicating in larger groups or with people I don’t know has also always needed to be developed. Through frequently communicating with others about a wide range of subjects within this topic have helped improve my confidence a little bit.
Communication plays a big role in the person that I am today. I changed myself to be a better communicator by looking people in the eyes when I speak to them and talking more, which led me to be a more outgoing person. I made myself overcome my shyness by looking people in the eyes and talking more to them. I also made myself a more outgoing person by the way that I communicated with others. The first thing that I did to become a more outgoing person was to look people in the eyes when I spoke to them.
In turn, having competent communicative abilities contributes to progression and maturation in many aspects of life, with education and employment being majorly affected facets. Upon entering this course this semester, I was unaware of my lack of important communication skills interpersonally, intrapersonally, and interprofessionally. Throughout my semester in this course, I have explored many different styles and skills used in communication. I have been able to recognize my strengths and weaknesses, and I have also been able to make noticeable and satisfying incremental improvements to enhance my communication. In this paper I will reflect on the knowledge I have gained throughout this semester that has allowed me to better my communication skills; I will do this by providing examples from my life. Furthermore, I will explore how I can continue to develop my commination skills in the future.
My perception of myself as being introverted and lacking confidence shows in my behaviour and mannerisms during communication with others. In my everyday life I show signs of nervousness while engaging in conversation or other types of communication. For example, I avoid confronting others because of uncertainty of the situation that may arise following confrontation. My nonverbal communication suffers in some areas because of my self-concept as well. In feedback I received during the lab activity “speed dating”, I need to work on making and maintaining eye contact and keeping open body language. According to Belcher, eye contact is especially important because it can either reinforce or diminish our verbal communication (2014). Another common comment was that I need to work on trying the “confrontation” skill. This is consistent with my own observations. Feedback from seminar activities states interpersonal communication skills I am good at include active listening (clarifying and repeating what someone has said), asking open ended questions, and making sure the “client” knows I comprehend them. In communication with others, I need to work on my nonverbal communication cues. However, I am able to engage in active listening, and convey a good understanding of what is being said to
One of the most important skills that I have gained is how to communicate with people by adapting my speech to the circumstances I am in. Personally, this has made me more confident whilst speaking to strangers and even with people I know. During the course of this module, I have learnt a lot about myself, in terms of how I communicated with the people around me. Before taking this module, I didn’t realise that I changed my speech depending on the situation that I was in. When I would meet someone new or if I would speak to someone important, I would talk in a more professional manner. This module also taught me that I, like
