Why developing Effective Communication skills is important for me??

Greetings! Welcome to Miranda’s weekly blog show! My blog will be as semi-formal as a blog should be, just like what Joker in Batman Returns says: Why so SERIOUS?!

I believe there are tons of reasons why developing effective communication skills are important but I would only touch on 3 points.

Point 1: It is important to have good interpersonal communication as this would ward off

gossips like a talisman. As all of you should know, gossiping is the most efficient way to kill time with a bunch of like-minded colleagues. However, gossips are deadly. However, if I am an effective communicator, I would be able to work well with others which also mean that I can earn respect from my fellow confreres.

Point 2: Next, I believe that knowing oneself would mean being able to perform well

be it during a presentation or interview. We all know that sitting on the hot interviewee sit is torturous and arduous. However, when you know that the position that you opt for is something that suits your personality and working style, it would mean that you will be able to answer those demanding and brutal questions confidently and eloquently which can be achieved from effective communication skill.

Point 3: Lastly, it is important to foster intercultural communication as it would make me

sincere and genuine. As the saying goes, first impression counts. When I understand the culture background of my client, I would be prepared to ‘deal with them accordingly’. Getting drunk and dizzy is part and parcel of a Japanese life. Therefore, as an effective communicator, I have to make sure that my Japanese clients do not sleep on the streets after 50 rounds of Asahi. Hence, if anyone is capable of dealing with your clients according to their cultural background, trust me, you will be the person your boss YEARNS for.

At last, I will leave you a quote from George Bernard Shaw that set me thinking:

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

Peace out!

P.S: GBS won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. Some guy!

Some rumbles from Miranda

HELLO!
Welcome to Miranda's 'rattle' ground!
First things first, I was once hooked to blogging. It was pretty interesting and enjoyable to talk jabberwocky as and when i like. However, after a while, I realised that it is not that exciting after all. I am just too lazy to upload pictures and and type in my 2 cents worth (Since they are just babbles and I am the Queen of nonsensical jabbers). Anyway, for the next few months, I hope that I would stick to my one and only rule: No blatherskite allowed.

By the way, other than leaving your IP address behind, please do leave your comments for me. I know I do commit some mistakes unknowingly. Therefore, do exercise some mercy on me. Make your comments as friendly as possible. I have a weak heart and violently-harsh comments would make me wobble.

Thank you for accomadating me and I look forward to your 20 cents worth too!

Peace out,
Miranda
