How well do I communicate?

Active listening is one of my greatest strengths because I make a point to give

people my full attention. I maintain eye contact when someone is speaking so they

know I am fully engaged, and this helps me build trust and understanding. My

active listening skills also support my nonverbal communication, which encourages

people to open up and share their thoughts and feelings. This not only helps me

connect with others on a deeper level but also provides comfort and builds stronger

relationships that last beyond the initial conversation. I believe people remember

how you make them feel, and active listening allows me to leave a positive

impression.

Another strength I have in communication is respect. I believe respect is one of the

most important qualities to bring into any interaction. Even when I disagree with

someone, I can still respect their perspective while also expressing my own in a

thoughtful way. I try to show respect through actions like maintaining eye contact,

listening carefully, and being considerate of other viewpoints. Respect, to me, is

about valuing others while also valuing myself enough to contribute to finding

solutions. I’ve noticed that respect often opens the door to healthier discussions and

makes problem-solving much easier, whether it’s in the classroom, at work, or in

everyday life.

I also believe I have strong public speaking abilities. Although presentations can

sometimes be challenging for me, I am able to adjust my tone and demeanor to

connect with different audiences. I know that communication is not one-size-fits-all,

so I work to read the room and respond in a way that feels appropriate. I also try to

reciprocate feelings in conversations, which helps me relate to people and keep


communication genuine. Even though I may not always feel fully comfortable in

front of a crowd, I think my ability to adapt helps me come across as confident and

prepared.

At the same time, I know there are areas where I would like to grow. One is my

presentation skills. While I use my hands naturally when speaking, I tend to stand

still and avoid using my full body or moving around the space. I’ve noticed that this

can limit audience engagement, so I want to work on becoming a more dynamic

presenter. Another area I would like to improve is data communication. Even though

my major may not be heavily data-focused, I understand how important it is to be

able to explain and present data clearly, especially in a business environment. Data

is often what drives decisions, and being able to make numbers understandable is a

skill that adds credibility. Finally, I want to strengthen my responsiveness.

Sometimes I give too much feedback and overwhelm others, while other times I

don’t give enough and may seem like I don’t care. Finding the right balance will

help me provide clear, thoughtful, and supportive feedback, which is an important

part of being a strong communicator and leader.
