Communication is one of the most essential skills in both professional and personal life. During my
internship, I recognized that while I possess basic communication abilities, there is room for growth—
especially in expressing ideas clearly, handling conversations confidently, and understanding others better.
Improving these skills will help me build stronger relationships, succeed in teamwork, and perform well in
leadership roles.
To enhance my oral communication, I plan to engage more in group discussions, debates, and presentations.
These platforms will help me practice speaking in front of others, organizing my thoughts clearly, and
learning to listen and respond thoughtfully. I also aim to watch professional speeches and mimic their tone,
clarity, and pacing to improve my own delivery.
2. Written Communication
Clear written communication is important in reports, emails, and documentation. I will improve this skill by
practicing professional writing through assignments, emails, and short reports. Reading business
communication materials and getting feedback from mentors or supervisors will also help me write more
precisely and effectively.
Confidence is crucial when conveying ideas. Sometimes, I hesitate when speaking to senior staff or in
unfamiliar situations. To overcome this, I will prepare thoroughly before meetings, use positive self-talk,
and practice speaking in front of a mirror or with peers. The more I practice, the more confident I will
become.
4. Managing Anxiety During Communication
Nervousness can affect my clarity and flow of speech. To manage this, I will use breathing techniques and
take short pauses to think during conversations. I will also remind myself that it’s okay not to be perfect, and
that improvement comes with consistent effort and self-compassion.
Effective communication is not just about speaking; it’s also about listening. I plan to enhance my active
listening skills by paying full attention to speakers, asking clarifying questions, and summarizing what I
understood. This will help reduce misunderstandings and build stronger connections with others.
To improve my ability to speak on the spot, I will practice extempore speaking exercises on random topics. I
also plan to expand my vocabulary and focus on structuring my responses with a clear beginning, middle,
and end—especially when asked to explain something quickly or in interviews.
Professional etiquette—such as greeting others politely, expressing gratitude, and closing conversations
respectfully—is important. I will practice these daily, whether in emails, calls, or in-person conversations.
Saying “thank you,” “please,” and acknowledging others’ input is a simple but powerful way to show
respect and build rapport.
Maintaining a polite tone, even during disagreements, helps preserve healthy communication. I will practice
emotional control and stay respectful by being aware of my tone, avoiding interruptions, and showing
appreciation for others’ viewpoints.
Conclusion
Improving my communication skills is an ongoing journey. With conscious practice, feedback, and
reflection, I believe I can become a confident, clear, and respectful communicator. These improvements will
not only support my academic and professional goals but will also enhance my personal relationships and
leadership potential in the future.
