TOWARDS IMPROVING OUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS

As humans we communicate daily, either through verbal or body language. We too realise that in the process of communication , we lack of many factors which need to be improved in order to enhance our relationship with people.

Given a chance what are the lacking factors that you would like to improve??

EXAMPLE:


Myself as a nurse, i feel that one factor that i lacking is 'the concentration level when someone is talking to me'.
I feel i could not concentrate when someone is talking  to me. This happens especially when someone is talking to me and having a very long conversation. It could be that the communication is very borings or so!!

As such in order to eliminate the behaviour/improve my own skills in communication, i do realise that i need to change the behaviour.

I need to concentrate when someone is communicating with me.
I came up with a few strategies:

  • remind myself not to daydream when someone is talking
  • stick a note at my bedside, saying that i shouls not ignore people

Thank you,
Sumathi Nadarajan

  3. My lacking factors are diffcult to talk in English language. I don't know why I so diffcult to this language.Sometime I feel so shy to talk with my friend in English because I think my friend so good in English. But now I not feel shy because my lecturer Madam Sumathi,Bong,Jaswant,Vimala,and Uma said you can do it. They said read more book,newspapers to learn a new word a day. They believe that i can speak well in English language. I also proud with my potential to speak in English now.. Everyday i learn little bit by little bit in English. My confindenlity also increases. So i feel so fun in English.... Thanks to my friend and all my belover's lecturer are help me to improve my English also myself.. Thanks a lot.

  8. lacking factors that i would like to improve are giving feedback effectively.Because I fell when a message is sent me, I do not give feedback.
    I do realise that i need to change the behavior.

    *Try to make it a positive process and experience. Before giving feedback make sure i remind myself i'm doing it.
    *Make it regular. Feedback is a process that requires constant attention. When something needs to be said, say it.
    *Prepare my comments.
    *Be specific. Tell the person exactly what they need to improve on.
    *Follow up. The whole purpose of feedback is to improve performance.
