Strengths in Communicating

Communication strengths depends on the method that the communicator use, such as spoken or written. In spoken communication strengths, communicator have the ability to persuade and negotiate while in written communication strengths is the ability to write clearly and concisely. In some situation, spoken is more effective that written such as communicating with customer or in meeting whereby you need to persuade them to either buy your product or implement new ways to bring up the company reputation. Spoken and written is like a one way where speaker projecting their ideas and voice to the audience, but being a good communicator, we must also have the ability to listen to other ideas and feedback, which is known as active listening. This is important as well in business meeting, as there might be many stakeholders in the meeting room and they have different views and ideas in changing the company better. Therefore, communication strengths are about written, verbal communication and listening.

My strength in communication and challenges

My strength in communication is verbal communication. This is obvious as my writing is not as good as my verbal communication. In verbal communication, the speaker can be expressive through their speech but it is different for writing as it requires the ability of being clear, concise and expressive such that the writer’s mood will be clear in the sentences. Even though verbal communication is my strength but there are challenges too, as I am not persuasive, therefore there are instances where people do not understand and will not use the idea that I have said. To close friends, they will find that listening is my strength as I would listen to what they say and would help them out. I feel that this is dependent on what the other party is talking about and what are their expectation, there are instances where the other party is looking for a sense of concern and somebody who can understand them as well as the situation they are in. This may result in thinking that you are ignoring them or giving them a chance to label you as “not taking me as a friend” when they think that you are not concern about what they are talking about. But to friends that I know their situation and what they really need, I will be able to pay more attention to them and try to cheer them up or encourage them. Therefore, verbal communication is what is my strength as compared to written communication, but listening is something that would be required in most cases and it depends on who the opposite party.
