skills but I need some improvements. I am good with passing on messages to others but there
are some issues with my style of communication that causes hindrances. I am in need of

I know the areas where I need to improve my skills. My strengths lie in delivering the

reaches to the intended audience. It is very essential to select a proper communication
channel so that the content of the message creates a connection with the desired audience.

delivered. It is essential that the message that will be given out is well constructed so that the
receivers can decoded the information. I need to work and make sure that I lend my ears to
people who are speaking to me. Attention has to be provided and I need to clearly understand
the message that has been conveyed to me so that I can respond to the message perfectly. The
focus should be given on planning a message before it is conveyed to others; this will make
sure that people clearly understand the information. I will overcome the shortcomings in my
nature by increasing my level of patience in communicating with people. I need to be more
respectful to the opinions of others as feedback is necessary for improving my
