Communication is an important part in both personal and business life. Communication is an integral part of human nature and people need to interact with each other in order to understand each other and develop the contact and get the work done. Communication can be effective or ineffective, verbal or non-verbal and also can be via texts and emails. When we are in the school or the college we meet many people from different cultures and gel along with them. We understand or at least try to understand people and their culture and respect each other. Communication is required in order to understand the opposite person and develop the plan to achieve the common target if the person who is with you is in your team and you need to get the task completed.( Malyuga, E. N., & Tomalin, B. (2017))
Communication can create barriers in team and can also remove the barriers by efficient communication. Communication is one of the most important factors for being an efficient manager in the business, Managers have teams under them which need to be managed and national and international clients that need to be presented with the solutions to their problems. The team and the leadership of the organisation depend on the manager for guidance towards successful completion of the project. The manager has to be efficient in the communication with the stakeholders as they are the ones who would be financing the project and the requirements would be given by them. The following essay is a self-descriptive and a self-reflective essay for the communication strategies and the weakness in the communication that I have and how have I planned to overcome it
The essay below is a self-reflection about the communication skills that I possess as a student and the analysis is based on the output that I received by analysing my communication skills on the diagnostic tools. The 2 communication issues are hereby listed which needs some working in order to develop my interpersonal skills and relationships. The 2 most important communication skills issues that need to be addressed in my personal communication development are: Low tolerance for disagreement and getting nervous on the stage, i.e. the Stage fright. This essay consists of the literature review for the communication related issues that need to be addressed and focusses on the concepts and theories which are related to the communication issues. By self-analysis using these tools, I am better equipped to tackle my stage fright and the low agreement to disagreement which are two of my core issues. The activities are reflected in the action plan that I made in order to curb these issues.
5 different diagnostic tools have been utilised in order to understand the strengths and the weaknesses of my communication strategies. The first tool that I used is a self perceived Communication competence questionnaire. (Kernbach, S., Eppler, M. J., & Bresciani, S. (2015). )This test is an indicator that how people perceive and analyse their own competence when they are in a jix of communication and are in a situation surrounded by multiple receivers. The second tool to analyse the communication skills is the personal report of communication apprehension which is a tool to measure the individual behaviour and analysis of the individual by letting the individual to answer questions related to some communication situations and analysing the answers that the person gives if he/she were in that situation. The third tool I utilized was the personal report to analyse the level of anxiety in personal communication and public speaking which gives the levels of the public level anxiety in the public. The fourth important tool to analyse the communication skill was the tool to understand the listening capabilities. The tool was Willingness to listen diagnostic tool which explains the level of understanding and the orientation towards listening. The fifth important tool for communication skill understanding is the Tolerance for Disagreement tool which provides information about the disagreement and tolerance of conflicting ideas that one believe in and the other person doesn’t. 
The communication tools are quite accurate while analysing the communication skills, preferences from them. I have worked on the results from the self-perceived communication competence test which show that I am the most comfortable when I am with my family and friends where the people are close to me and I have no glitch in talking about anything with them. I feel comfortable in having a 1-1 talk with the members of the closed circle. Public speaking and speaking at a session where 10 people are listening to me makes me feel scared. The result from the personal report for communication apprehension says that I have a little apprehension when the time arises to speak in public. The public speaking anxiety score is of somewhat high level which shows that I have public speaking anxiety and I feel nervous when giving a speech or talking in public and is accurate. The tool which analysed my willingness to listen provided me a score of 79 indicating a moderate to high level of willingness to listen to other people. The test for the tolerance of disagreement score put me at a moderate scale of 57.( Kernbach, S., Eppler, M. J., & Bresciani, S. (2015).)
I understand that the scores for public speaking anxiety and the tolerance for disagreement fell in the category of low to moderate, I need to make sure that the fears that I have related to public speaking should be overcome and I feel I need to work in the areas of communication and I guess by doing so it would be beneficial to my individual personality and business communication skills which would reduce my fear and anxiety of public speaking from moderate to low or even end it. Whenever we have a debate or a communication where the level of argument hits the roof, I try to state my point clearly and then understand the other’s point of view. But there are some times in which the other person isn’t ready to listen and this makes me feel that why should I listen and then analyse the arguments if the other party isn’t even ready to listen to my arguments. This gets me triggered and even I do not back down from the argument unless and until a third person comes and interrupts. There are some times when I have given up by understanding that the opposite party is correct and I need to understand the point of view of the person. I believe that an idea or an argument should be discussed and solved and not dodged. There are many people who prefer to dodge the arguments in order to avoid a conflict or avoid a fight in argument, I do not like such people, since they would let their idea or their comment or their fight to die down instead of fighting for it, just to avoid an argument. Ideas and arguments are new thoughts that develop and should be discussed among others and should be refined. The conflicts are crucial and unavoidable in the business context and especially in the decision making prospects and finding a right way in which the idea can be put forward, the developments that take place in a meeting is important and the final conclusions of the meeting all depend on the topics and the conversations that take place in the meeting. If a person drops his/her idea even before standing for it just to avoid the conflict,
