Communication is one of the most important part of our life which can help us in personal and
professional both. it can mostly used in our employability because at the workplace It is
necessary to use effective communication skills so we can develop ourselves as a professional
and we can also improve our career (Aliu, J. and Aigbavboa., 2019). The use of communication I

Zegwaard., 2017. ). I think it will help me to grow my career as a professional an I can perform
better at the workplace.

Evolution
During the learning of use of communication I have feel both bad and good experience that time.
the good experience was that learn how to use communication effectively in our life and the
other bad experience was that Realized how much I needed to learn about the use of
communication because my communication was not that effective and I was thinking that I am
using the communication skills effectively.
Analysis
I was learning the use of communication effectively but there was some barriers that make the
thanks worst. During my learning that was some terms within the use of communication that
takes time for me to understand. Another problem I faced during the learning was that it cannot
be use without practically performing it at the workplace (Osmani, Weerakkody, Hindiand
Eldabi., 2019.). This skill I can learn from the others but mostly it will use Be useful for me at
the workplace. I think it will help me to grow my career as a professional an I can perform better

information about the use of communication And I will also apply in a real situation so I can
learn how back effectively I’m using the communication skills in my life.
Model of communication
Description
I have learned about two models of communication that can be used one is Shannon and waves
and another is Schramm. waves help me to learn that the concept of human communication is
fringle And it could be divided into 6 important parts such as sender who sang the message, In
encoder who received the message, Channel which is used to transfer the information, nice,

recorder, an receiver. It is international and we were model of communication (Wolff and
Booth., 2017). Another Shannon In mathematical theory or concept It is also called a mother of
all models and it is used to identify the different pressure points do the reach the communication
can bed sorted.
Feelings
Models of the communication helped me to learn and create a feeling how theories can help to
simplify the communication and it helps to make understand us how communication actually
works. it helps to create a value in my life bye make me understand how actually
communication work and how gender send the message an how receiver get the message. other
people were also feeling positively and they were also understanding the importance of this
models.
Evolution
During the learning of an discussing about the model of communications my good experience
was that it was useful to learn how communication flow from sender to receiver (GillJ., 2018. ).
on the other side bad experience I have faced during my learning was that this models were hard
to understand because these models are professionally used and terms are very hard to
understand. it makes my experience bad but I want to understand it properly and learn more
about the models of communication to improve my communication skills.
Analysis
The searching of the model was not that and I get both the model in less time. The models of
effective communication helps too waves help me to learn that the concept of human
communication is fringle And it could be divided into 6 important parts such as sender who sang
the message, In encoder who received the message, Channel which is used to transfer the
information, nice, recorder, an receiver. It is international and we were model of communication.
Another Shannon In mathematical theory or concept It is also called a mother of all models and
it is used to identify the different pressure points do the reach the communication can bed sorted.
Conclusion

The skills I have implemented and myself or learn that was the use of models Anne effectiveness
of the communication models. it will help me to improve my communication skills an I will able
to use and understand communication easily (Adeyinka-Ojo., 2018). To improve my
communication I will use the model an apply in the organisational Vauxhall it can help me to
develop my career as a professional and I will able to use the model effectively. If I were able to
get a chance to learn about the model of communication then I will definitely like to take more
experience about the model of communication so I can improve my communication skills and
develop my career.
Types of communication
Description
Communication is not only a single term but it also have different different types which is used
within a workplace of company and higher schools. Some of the most important communication
types are verbal communication, non verbal communication, listening etc (Hart., 2019). At the
workplace and educational level it is necessary for an individual to have a verbal communication
in which they should know how to, communicate with the people face to face, non verbal
communication Where We write a message and the last listening which is most important for
employment and academic both. It is also a most important part of the communication.
Feelings
The best feeling was I got to learn about the types of communication and I understand that there
are various kind of communication skills that I need to be learned and that was my best
experience. on the other side bad experience was that I was needed to improve my all three
verbal, non verbal and listening communication skills. my contribution in the previous project
was that I was able to find a types of communication effectively an it also create a good research
skills in myself..
AI was able to find the types of communication without having any problem and that was going
so well. it makes me understand the importance and types of communication that is useful for
academic an employable development. the searching of types of communication will help me to
improve my communication skill and I will able to be successful at high schools and my career
as well (Suleman., 2018. ). both will be used in my life to develop myself. communicate with the

people face to face, non verbal communication Where We write a message and the last listening
which is most important for employment and academic both. It is also a most important part of
the communication.
Conclusion

my life and help me to grow my academic and employable skills. I can take help of professional
development plan to improve their skills effectively and I can more learn about the
communication. Critical thinking can help me to handle this kind of situation and I can learn
