Three of the most important communication skills to me are
verbal, non-verbal, and technological.
I believe
verbal is very important because in your professional life as well as your
personal life. Verbal communication can help you professionally in many
different ways. It can help getting a
job in an interview, networking, verbally communicating with bosses and
coworkers, as well as customers and potential customers depending on your job.
Verbal communication is also very important at home. It can lead to a better life.
If you can talk to your spouse or significant other, the relationship will be
stronger.
Non-verbal
communication is another important communication skill but in a different way.
Professionally, it could help your work environment with coworkers. If your non-verbal
communication is good amongst each other, things will move more fluidly. Personal
life can also be good as well. If you have a good relationship between friends
and family, or you and your spouse, non-verbal communication tends to be the reason.
Being able to know what others are thinking, if they are sick, is extremely
beneficial in any type of relationship.
With
the world being so dependent on technology, being able to communicate that way
is essential, especially in the work place. Professional jobs now, communicate
over the phone, conference calls, or email. It is also a bonus in your personal
life if you are away from friends, family, or another loved one. You will be able
to continue a relationship with them. It would almost be like you never left.
