When looking at the definition of communication skills, it is important to note that communication occurs in various contexts and ways. We use various skills to communicate and decode information, such as speaking, listening, interpretation and tone. Developing influential communication skills and social intelligence is about being able to convey information to others in a simple and unambiguous way.

Effective communication involves understanding instructions, listening without bias, making humble requests, asking respectful questions, and relaying information clearly and concisely. People need communication skills to thrive in healthy and connected social networks. They are among the most fundamental skills a person can possess and can facilitate two or more people communicating without judgement or unnecessary disconnect.

Communication is essential for virtually every facet of life. Your ability to communicate concisely will influence many aspects of your life, including your professional success, your family stability, the strength of your social relationships, and the level of fulfilment you experience when interacting with people. Relationships are the network of life, and it’s communication skills that serve as the glue that keeps relationship networks together.

In its simplest form, communication is the act of transferring information from one place to another and can take many people a lifetime to master. All communication is governed by timeless principles that must first be understood if you are to develop effective speaking, listening, and interpersonal skills. These principles, once learned, will serve as the bedrock upon which you can build all of your healthy future relationships.

The following are some of the topics you will learn during this course:

• What it Means to Connect Authentically with Others.

• Principles for Increasing Self and Social Awareness.

• Communication Barriers that Damage Relationships.

• The Prerequisites of Winning Other Peoples Trust.

• How to Communicate Outside of Prejudice or Bias.

• Essential Speaking, Listening and People Principles.

No matter what you prioritize in life, improving your communication skills will always be pivotal to your overall personal development. Self-awareness, self-improvement, communication skills and social awareness all walk hand-in-hand. Your ability to express yourself in a socially appropriate manner will determine how effective you become at forging meaningful relationships with the different people that you interact with socially.

Developing social intelligence (SI) involves becoming aware of how you relate to people, the messages you send, the words you speak, your general attitude, and how your biases impact your ability to understand different perspectives. Presenting yourself and sharing your ideas in an effective way are essential skills that will help you succeed in all areas of life. This will lead towards a more fulfilling life, and healthier social circles.

In most people's social lives, there's usually some room for improvement. Most human beings are susceptible to moments of nervousness or social awkwardness when conversing with other people.As you gain a broader perspective on life, you will also gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This will make it easier for you to understand others and therefore communicate in a way that enables you to win friends and influence people.

The ability to communicate information accurately, clearly and as intended, is an essential life skill that should not be overlooked. It’s never too late to improve your communication skills, as by doing so, you simultaneously improve your people skills, which can only enhance your overall quality of life. While there are many uncontrollable circumstances in life, the effort you make to develop your people skills is solely reliant on you.
