This reflective essay examines the author's business communication skills through the lens of self-assessment. The essay begins by defining the importance of communication in professional and personal contexts. The author then details the use of five diagnostic tools – SPCC, PRICA, PRPSA, Talkaholic Scale, and NIS-S – to evaluate their communication competence, intercultural communication apprehension, public speaking anxiety, communication habits, and nonverbal immediacy. The results of these assessments reveal moderate scores in several areas, highlighting a need for improvement in communication apprehension and public speaking anxiety. Two professional experiences are described to illustrate these weaknesses. The essay then reviews relevant literature on anxiety, including the physical and cognitive manifestations of anxiety, especially in public speaking situations. The author plans to create an action plan for the next six months focusing on communication skills development and address the identified areas for improvement. The essay concludes with a focus on improving communication skills, specifically, addressing communication apprehension and public speaking anxiety.
