Integrated communication skills

 Happy Wednesday ka!

I devoted the past 4 months of my podcast program to sharing about communication skills from listening and speaking to reading and writing ka!

It was fun and challenging how to present them and all turned out quite well with over 17 guest speakers and more behind the scenes.

The finale was given by Dr. Romyen Kosaikanont or Mo, Director of SEAMEO RIHED whose sharing showed clearly that after all, every skill is linked. If proficient, we’ll be able to put them to great use in work and in going through hard moments in life ka. In any case, we all need practicing, not just the four skills but also the main objectives of communication, ability to observe, know social etiquettes, and how best to act on specific occasions.

In addition, here is the synthesis of the 4-month learning I’d like to include in this week’s note ka:
- Start from the skill we're good at to develop further to link with other skills...though listening stands out loei ka. Looking for role models is helpful too.

- All good communicators are storytellers  whose stories make it simple for listeners to get to the points and feel touched.
- Links between skills mean increased deeper learning and more opportunities to form firmer relationships.

- Use our 'heart' to communicate which will show our sincerity ka.

Any more thoughts to add mai ka?
