Being good at communication brings many benefits and the most obvious of them all is the ability to talk and listen well. This has proven extremely useful for me in my team projects, like software development. In that project, we were to build an entirely new software from sketch, and it must be different from any existing one. As a result, each of us had to generate a lot of ideas and convey it to others. Without the ability to listen and understand effective, those special features that makes our product stands out would have been crossed out at the beginning, as they were too “uncommon”. And the ability to understand others and get them to understand you is not the only thing effective communication benefits us. We still need to write documents, proposal… to convince others. That’s where the rest of the effective communication skill set comes into the picture. And we appreciate that we know it.
In short, although saying that I can communicate effective at the moment is not very true, I do appreciate what the skill gave me through my experience. Thus, I am looking forward to improve it through the ES2007S module.
