Reflections~

In my first blog, I stated the importance of effective communications in workplace. Since that time, my way of thinking has changed, I realized that not only effective communication is important in workplace, it is also the key to get you to where you want to be in your life. Communication is an essential skill for successful business and personal relationships. It has an impact whenever it occurs such as when we use communication to influence every interaction in a positive way and by developing the skills needed to communicate effectively. Effective communication is the key to our success in life, in work, and in relationships. Good communication skills can reduce misunderstandings, errors, frustration, and conflict on a daily basis. The ability to connect and build rapport with other people is a foundation life skill and should ideally develop from young. In addition, developing effective communication skill is a life-long process.

From this module, I learnt a lot of skills and made new friends through projects and group discussions. Although it can be quite stressful when the module’s syllabus starts to move in a fast pace, but I have also learnt to have a better control on my time management which allows me to hand in the necessary work on time. From the past experiences, I used to feel that English course would be a boring module, but after taking this module, I realized that it is an interesting and enriching one. It has equipped me with the necessary skills in a fun and exciting ways. Skills I have learned in this module would be report writing, minutes, agenda, meetings, do’s and don’ts during interviews, presentation skills and lastly effective communication skills that was incorporated during the whole course.

Lastly would like to thank sabrina and wenjie for their patiences and understanding through out the whole project and oral presentation. ~smiles~
