Weakness in communication skills is equivalent to major deficiency in personality. It the most crucial element of your profile that decides whether you are worth consideration or not whether we talk about you getting hired or even in your personal life.

You may screw up your entire life all your relations if you are running short on it. Similar was the case with Pooja who was an aspiring PGDM student and finding everyone better than herself. She started to feel anxious and jealous of almost everyone. She kept on wandering why she couldn’t get through building meaningful and strong relations. Her decision making skills also started to slacken. Much after her graduation that she was looking forward to working in the corporate sector but there was none of the interview that she was able to crack. While visualizing financial independence is every graduate’s dream but counting money isn’t that easy for Pooja as she had always been an introvert who had carefully nurtured her feelings and treasured keeping them.

The fluency of the language is essential to derive results from people whether selling a product or ensuring procuring funds. Speaking is though one of the relevant criteria for one to stand as a successful professional in any domain and requires loads of practice under expert guidance and when she searched at various social media platforms she found none the best matching her needs and that deficient skills gap. She applied for various online and distance learning course but failed in her attempt to achieve the pattern of success.  She wanted to learn that the entire corporate journey that she felt she deserved all the doubts that she needed to uncover and remove could have been best answered through the length and depth of the curriculum. While the two flagship courses: PGDM and PGDM (IB) taught fetch international placements. Learning is listening to experts,

Having said that communication skills are relevant but what do these really mean and how can we enhance it? How can we have a personality which is making things easy for us for the rest of our lives?

Getting internet connections into the phone ain’t sufficient but building connections in the industry will be. Communication skills equip one to connect with ease which further means that the content of the conversation should be based on what your audience will appreciate to listen. Now this was long before as today we need to speak not only the content but the tone needs to be driven with the intonations. Intonation in its fundamental sense means the variation in the tone of speaking. Tonality is important in fetching business as a single tone conversation is extremely boring and hardly fetches any recall from the listener afterwards.

We all are now operating in the world where personal branding is highly relevant. Marketing as they say is a scientific art and requires correlation to the aesthetic appeal. Thus fundamentals of marketing especially yourself in the digitally aided highly competitive world is based on not only the soft issues of how you think and your etiquettes but the choice of your words in which you wrap your thoughts in. The appeal or repeal to your selection by the audience is based on your personal profile maintenance. The story of scrutiny of a personality begins second to how you speak and is primarily based on how you decide to dress. Your style of wearing and speaking goes a long way in your selection and let me elaborate that your selection is not always based for your job purposes but also from your family and friends who groom in an informal way by providing various opportunities of tasks and therefore implying growth. Thirty one percent of employees suffer from job dissatisfaction and the major reason cited for this are reported with the lack of skills set. The covid wave has hurt the business world badly and the worst hit are those with the lack of umbrella of skills set of soft skills such as those failing to indulge in a healthy self talk for managing their emotions and relationships.
