Week Eight: Communication Skills

Written-email, letters The problems with emails and letters is that maybe people won't check their email too often, or letters won't reach people in time. A way to fix this is to hand the letter over yourself, or maybe just not send emails or letters at all.
Verbal-metaphors, speeches Metaphors and speeches can be really confusing to some people, they might not want to sit and listen to you blab on and on, and they might be too stupid to figure out your witty play on words. So, as a solution to these problems, you could just say what you want to, be blunt. You could also be more active in your speeches and catch the listeners attention.
Non- Verbal- bodylanguage, symbols Wearing symbols may seem cool, but it can be very offensive to some people, just like your body language can be. If your'e sitting beside someone you don't know and you have your arms across your chest, wearing an anarchy symbol, and you don't look happy, that person's going to be afraid of you. Maybe to fix your problem, you should express your opinions, not wear them, and lighten up a little bit; try and view yourself as others might.


I think that I have good communication skills when I need them most. When I am talking to my boss or a customer, I try to be on my best behavior and sound aspolite as possible. But talking to everyday people, or trying to "fit in", I can't do that. I can't communicate with other people very well sometimes because I feel I make things awkward, and if you don't have confidence in yourself, why would other people think you do?
