Improving Communication Skills: A Reflective Summary

Reflective Summary

REFLECTION
During academic life, I have attended different mini workshops for communication skills
which is important for a person. These mini workshops are playing important role in academic
life as it improve knowledge of a person. During this workshops, I understand important of
communication skills for a person and also about different types, techniques, theories and model
of communication skills (CHAN, LEE, and WANG, 2017). Along with communication skills, I
also learned about importance for listening skills in communication skills. Communication is one
of important skills as it allow me to share important information from one person to another. It is
essential skills for a person as it allow them for purpose of sharing ideas, thoughts, information
in clear words without any confusion. In this workshops, many of my friends has participated
and work with dedication and learn new things.
Before starting these workshop, I was nervous and less interested as I thought it was
boring but attending these mini workshops of communication. But with joining these workshops,
I needs to get opportunity to work with my friends (Wright, 2017). In these different people who
ha s knowledge related to communication guide us and provide us new things about how to
improve communication skill. In beginning, I was quiet difficult for us but later on, we have
enjoyed it as things went smooth. In the end, I was happy with attending and participating these
workshops as I improved my communication skills and other academic skills.
During this workshop, I improve many of my skills like communication skills, time
management skills, negotiation skills, decision making skills, problem solving skills and many
more. These skills are important for purpose of improving academic grades and also to
improving my capability to garb more knowledge, information and learning. In this workshop,
different group discussion, presentation, debates activities are organised where me and my fried
get opportunity to participate and improve out skills (Rabu and Badlishah, 2020). In order to
prepare for an activity conducted at workshop, we needs to read learned and understand a
academic topic which is further beneficial for us as its knowledge are also important for us to
improve ourself.
There are various things which went good in this experience as I got prices of my
excellent work. It is one of best things about overall experience of this workshop as it is
important for improving motivation of a person. Bad thing about this experience is that I feel shy
in the beginning which does not allow me to interact with other people in this workshop. Things

which I have learned from this experience is communication is key for academic life of a person
which allow a person to communicate confidently in clear words without any confusion and
misunderstanding. I also learned to be not panic with any of situation and needs to be more
confident in order to learn new things. If same situation arise me in future, I will act differently
as I developed necessary skills to be require for this types of situation.
