Soft skills are one of the essential requirements one should have to extract the essence of both personal and professional growth , they are in good numbers and compliment each other effectively . some of them are inherited and most of them are developed..

Let me dwell in to one of the most important soft skill “The Communication skill “. Communication is the epicentre of all skills , and it’s the tool to present ,exhibit , show case and deliver your other skills ..

Many of us are under the wrong prejudice that communication means having good language ..well, well it’s definitely not , as per one of the Harvard’s research it’s learnt that the language , I mean the words make up only 7 to 8 percent of effective communication .isn’t it some thing which we never heard off , seldom do we realise this fact. then what are the others that contribute most to the effective and result oriented communication. Oh there are plenty of them lined up , language is a subject but communication is an art by nature …

Communication can be broadly classified in to Speaking , listening and writing . there are many more under these heads . language is a thing you can learn , but skill is the one which you develop over a period of time , there is a whole lot difference between learning and developing ,learning is something you have stored with in you ,where as developing is an act which you perform and master over a period of time..
Before going in depth about the intricacies of communication skills , I would like to narrate a simple story which will unfold the delicacies of communication , of course this story was told by one of my co trainer …

There was a class room where a teacher was teaching his undergraduate students. It was a chilled windy day ,the teacher finished his lessons and it was a time for questions and feed back . he asked his students to feel free to shoot questions. One of the students was very bright and very ambitious and asked ” sir can I do my IAS after my examinations ? The teacher had all the smile in the world and said why not my child ” The doors are open ” which meant you have all the opportunities to do so. At the same time another stood up ,as it was too windy he said “sir its too cold to sit in the classroom.. the teacher said well I can understand ” The doors are open ” as the doors of the class room were open and the wind was barging in . in the last a naughty one started murmering ” sir your lecture is so boring and am unable to concentrate, the teacher looked at him sarcastically and said ” The doors are open ” hinting him to get out of the class room . well what I am trying to tell you is the same sentence plays different role under different contexts..

communication is such a wonderful tool the usage should be so specific judging the need precisely to create an impression that blossoms positive results …
