    MY COMMUNICATION STYLE

    Being able to communicate effectively is perhaps the most


    important of all life skills. It is what enables us to pass information
    to other people, and to understand what is said to us. I am good at
    listening to someone but when it comes to delivering proper words
    or appropriate words for them is one of my struggles. 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.

     We live in a social and interactive world. Our success in life


    depends on our ability to communicate and interact with each
    other – at home, at school, at work, everywhere.
     Think of how often you communicate with different people,
    whether they are your friends, your parents, your neighbors,
    your colleagues, or complete strangers. Especially at colleges
    and universities, we have to face many different people, and
    we have to adapt our communication styles effectively to
    make a good impression or achieve the results we are looking
    for. We write emails, facilitate meetings, participate in
    conference calls, write papers and reports, give presentations, JOHN PAUL P.AQUINO
    debate with friends and classmates, and so much more.
    Practice by talking to friends and family. You don’t even have
    to be practicing a speech, sales pitch, or interview questions;
    just talk to your friends as normal, with one tiny difference.
    Pay attention to your use of hesitation words such as ‘like’,
    ‘um’, ‘ah’, ‘ok’, etc. and notice how often you use them - is it
    when you don’t know what to say? When you can’t express
    yourself properly? Or is it just a habit?
     The easiest way to do this when you first try is to record
    yourself and listen back to what you’ve said. You’ll realise
    two things: firstly, how much you hate the sound of your own
    voice, and secondly, what your hesitation words are and how
    often you use them.
     By becoming aware of them, and consciously trying to reduce
    their use in daily conversation, you’ll gradually eliminate
    them out of your everyday vocabulary and improve verbal
    communication skills.
