understudy life itself is survived. This report will incorporate conversation of advancement of
different aptitudes with the goal that they can be applied to counter on various issue
MAIN BODY
Communication skills
Communication ability can be clarified as that nature of an individual that causes him to
associate with different workers at the spot. Any correspondence cycle can be considered as
powerful just for the situation when the expected message by the sender is gotten by the
beneficiary in a similar importance. In any expert spot, the main component for smooth activities
is viable correspondence measure. This can be expounded as a cycle of communicating data to
different individuals in a spot. A two way measure is significant in significant in any
correspondence cycle. In the event that just one way stream will be there, than it will prompt
blockage of data on one side as it were. This cycle is knows as respective correspondence
measure. Respective correspondence measure incorporates convey of unique message from side
of sender and answering back from beneficiary in type of criticism. This kind of correspondence
measure is known as roundabout cycle. On the off chance that there is no correspondence cycle
in roundabout movement, than it will lead wasteful correspondence of data and it will prompt
disarrays and clashes in work environment. In arrangement of above graph, a fruitful
correspondence measure incorporates six parts which are depicted beneath:
 Sender: This is the one who is sending the information. Or the one from whom behalf
message is sent to the recipient person. The main objective of this participant of
communication process is to transfer the message or information. He is basically the
individual who provides input in tunnel of communication channel.

 Receiver: An individual who is receiving the message sent from sender is termed as
receiver. This person is on the other hand of the communication process. Furthermore,
the primary motive of this participant is to receive the information and also get the true
meaning of this message so that a proper reply or feedback can be given to sender. This
reply will complete the circular motion of communication process (Evans and
Richardson, 2017) .
 Feedback: It is basically the reply of receiver in return of what he has received from the
sender. This feedback will mean that receiver has perceived the message in the same
manner as was intended by the sender.
 Message: This is the actually most important thing in the process of communication
process. Any communication process is done with the main objective of transferring an
information. This information is only called as message.
 Channel: To pass the above message or information, it is important that a suitable
channel or medium is selected. This can be explained as the tunnel or route through
which the message will pass to reach to receiver which is shotted from the side of sender.
 Noise: In any communication process, one thing is common and that is disturbance. This
disturbance is basically called as noise. Noise can be of any kind, such as, mechanical
barriers, technological barriers, language barriers, etc. Theses all issues arises and create
obstacle in the path of successful communication process (Fearon and et.al., 2020).
As mentioned in the introduction part, this report is prepared to overcome challenges in
student life. Following is a description of application of communication skills in resolving below
challenges:

organisation in the case when it wants to determine those employees who are under the

productivity. This is an important step as it will lead to find such individuals who are
capable enough to take on the position of making decisions and also to improve

productivity level. Communication skill will assist the process of solving this issue
through interaction between management and employee level. Through this
confrontation, everyone will come to know about pros and cons of each and every
individual which is the sole issue of apprentice challenge.
 Presentation challenge: In today's intense competitive business world, the most important
thing is presentation. This will help management of every company to convey their ideas
and opinions clearly to every stakeholder of the organization. These stakeholders include
employees, customers, government and other interested participants in the operations of
business. This process of conveying message can be performed through presentation. The
most important requirement of making a communication process successful is
communication skills. Two important components of effective presentation is to collect
information and data and then presenting that to the stakeholder. Both parts include
communication and hence, to give an effective presentation, it is important that
communication skills can pose great help.
 T-shirt challenge: This is an activity in which a T-shirt is printed and is used to market
the idea of business. This poses a challenge for the company when, it becomes hard for
salesperson to convince the other person for that idea or product. Through effective
communication process, this idea can be easily conveyed to other person and will also
prove to be helpful in overcoming this issue.
