Communication skills
Today I would like to talk about one of the most important aspect of being an active listener. Today I would like to talk about communication skills.
“Communication is more than just sharing of words. It is the wise sharing of emotions, feelings and concerns. It is the sharing of oneself totally.”
When it comes to interpersonal development a skill that is really valued is how effectively and efficiently we communicate. It is not only important to build personal connections but also an essential element of effective leadership. Words have a power to build or burn bridges and hence we must be mindful of what and how we convey our message to others.
Community is all about building and bridging together and hence for the community to grow and thrive we must share our views in a way that is respectful, impactful and meaningful to our purpose.
For mastering the skill we first need to be a really good listener making sure the other person is being heard without any interferences. We must not only effectively put forth our views but also try to resolve conflicts by finding a common ground. We must be versatile and quickly adapt to what the preferences of the people or the community is.
This not only builds trust but also helps form long lasting relationships. Also it is important to build a safe place to communicate and connect. We must be inclusive and always have an attitude to learn and challenge the biases the society has so that everyone around us is treated equally with love and respect.
It is important while communicating to speak in simple words rather than a jargon that a person may or maynot understand. While doing so always remember to be compassionate and empathetic. It is also important that we must acknowledge and appreciate people around us as it serves as a boost and help the community flourish.
I would like to ask you guys how do you think communication skills serve as a tool in developing your personality?
@Catmomj99. Communication skills play a crucial role in shaping personality development by influencing how individuals interact with others and express themselves. Firstly, effective communication fosters self-confidence as individuals learn to articulate their thoughts and ideas clearly, leading to a stronger sense of self-assurance. Additionally, communication skills contribute to the development of empathy and understanding, as individuals learn to listen actively and consider others' perspectives. This fosters deeper connections with others and enhances interpersonal relationships. Moreover, communication skills enable individuals to navigate social situations with ease, leading to increased social competence and adaptability. Overall, honing communication skills not only enhances one's ability to express themselves but also plays a key role in building confidence, empathy, and social proficiency, all of which are integral aspects of personality development.
@Catmomj99 Thank you for highlighting the importance of communication skills and active listening. I completely agree that effective communication goes beyond words to include sharing emotions and concerns, which is crucial for building strong personal connections and effective leadership. Being a good listener, resolving conflicts, and adapting to others' preferences are essential components of communication that build trust and long-lasting relationships. Creating a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels heard and respected is key. For me, strong communication skills have significantly enhanced my ability to connect with others and navigate different situations with empathy and understanding.
@Catmomj99 Communication avoids triangulation! To meet face to face with someone, erasing the third person miscommunication as well as the breeding place for rumors and drama, is so important for effectively reaching common ground and solutions! :)
@Catmomj99 Communication definitely plays a critical role. Especially as a listener.

Thanku for sharing such an important aspects.....
Well I think communication... Actually a good communication really helps in shaping our personality....
As communication involves sharing your thoughts ,ideas, values, beliefs..... In your conversation and also welcoming others ideas and thoughts so I think as an individual when we involve in a good communication we exchange all these aspects and it can impact on our personality.. Depends on how and what kind of aspects your are taking with you after those communication....
