Part 1 - Assessing Your Communication Strengths and Weaknesses
Please answer the following questions:
1. What do you consider your major communication strengths?
In having communication, I practice good intonation to give better understanding for the
audience. In Addition, I easily understand and translate the instructions from others. Lastly, I
also practice structured, cleared and competent communication
2. What do you consider your major communication weaknesses?
Along with good intonation practice, it sometimes creates excessive pressure and energy to
people which might lead to different meanings or missed communication.The rhythm of my
talking pace is too fast and leads me to lose the words I want to say.
With my limited 4 years experience at work, I would understand that leaders need to understand
the audience’s background and capabilities to create good communication. Hence in this case i
would say, I communicate my own level of language and hare to adjust the language with
audience’s competence might lead to difficulties to comprehend.
I have a reactive response in communication by easily giving instant feedback through facial
expression, sayings, and gestures.
