Communication Skills Development

One of the areas in which I have seen marked improvement in my communication skills since taking my initial assessment is in my grammar. Prior to taking that assessment, I never thought that my grammar was particularly bad. After taking, it however, I discovered that there were several different facets of this aspect of communication in which I could utilize improvement. Specifically, I found that there were several different rules associated with grammar that I (and most other people) were not aware of. I have been able to better my grammar by studying the grammar sections of SAT workbooks, which enables me to both learn and practice some of the lesser known grammar rules.

I have also been working diligently on my ability to receive feedback. Doing so is fairly important because in business settings, feedback is an integral aspect of improving one's performance and that of an organization as a whole. I have always been sensitive about other people's comments regarding myself and various facets of my output. The way that I have helped myself to become less sensitive is to issue presentations to family and friends. Doing so not only helped me to refine my presentation skills, but also allowed me to undergo the feedback process more. This latter aspect was particularly effective since my friends and family would naturally temper their comments because of our relationship, and I became more acclimated to receiving feedback.

My remaining challenges include working on diction. People are not supposed to write the way that they talk. I have the tendency to be colloquial in my business presentations and in their supporting documentation. I believe I need to change this to be more professional.

Conclusion

This memo has provided an update for my progress since taking a few initial assessments. I have made strides in organization, time management, grammar, and feedback reception. I need to improve in writing and diction.
