Communication
This reflective writing is based on reflecting on my learning related to listening skills.
While reflecting on communication skills, I will analyse my current listening strengths and
challenging areas. Subsequently, I will develop goals based on my current strengths and
weaknesses and thereby develop ‘Tips to Self-paper’ for guiding my future self. This self-
analysis and reflective writing are aimed at guiding my focus on my long-term goals. Based
on (Brownell, 2015), I am writing this self-analysing paper in order to demonstrate how much
the textbook knowledge I understood and applied for myself. In this way, with the help of this
reflective writing, I will demonstrate how gained knowledge throughout the course can be
applied to my own life (Browning & Cunningham, 2012).
After learning into the communication course, I realized that communication skills
play a vital role in personal and professional life. I consider that speaking as well as listening
skills comes under the art of conveying thoughts effectively. As mentioned in the book
written by (Brownell, 2015), listening seems the core element in demonstrating better
communication. In order to convey thoughts efficiently, one needs to listen effectively.
According to (Brownell, 2015), without effective listening, effective communication cannot
happen. I observed that proper and effective listening is not only beneficial for professional
and academic life bit it carries equal importance for growing personal relations (Hynes,
2012). After learning into this module, I learned that if I can improve my listening skills then
I can conquer so many difficult communication battles and relationship conflicts. I believe
that listening skills can be improved with the help of enhancing and developing self-
monitoring and self-analytical skills. I started to monitor myself after reading and studying
the lessons from the book written by (Brownell, 2015). I also realized the importance of
constructive feedback in the context of the listening part of the communication. In this
context, I find approaches like interpersonal and intrapersonal communication useful for
improving my listening skills.
In the context of listening skills significance, I used to be a great communicator as I
already possess good listening skills. Based on (Brownell, 2015), I believe that for talking in
front of some decent audience, good listening skills are essential. Earlier I was not aware of
the fact that good communication’s major aspect depends on listening skills. Now that I know
the fact hence I have started to work on my listening skills in so many good ways. Based on
