Effective communication skills are important to me

There are plenty of reasons why effective communication skills are important to me. I shall elaborate the three most important ones to me.

The first being that effective communication can help me to form positive bonds and strengthen my existing relationships with my family and peers. When I was a small child, I used to be very shy and awkward in social settings. It was very uncomfortable situation to be in. So I learned it the hard way of the importance in being able to communicate freely and effectively with those around me. With effective communication skills, I’ll be able to form new relationships with ease and feel confident in social settings.

The other reason being, I give private tuitions and my communicative skills will determine how effective it is for me to bring across what I am teaching to all my students. This way, it can greatly enhanced the learning of my students and increase my efficiency as a tutor.

Furthermore, I foresee communications skills being very crucial in future after I graduate and hit the workforce. Learning to have effective communications can greatly enhance my opportunities to secure a good job as I go through the interviews and excel in my chosen career. In today’s workforce, there is more emphasis being placed on people’s skills and having effective communication skills can greatly help when to comes to dealing with colleagues, bosses or clients. Being able to communicate well means I am able to put my idea across effectively and able to persuade better.
