In my first post, I mentioned that effective communication is an important tool for survival in our society today. After going through this module, I'm truly convinced that effective communication is a lifelong process and needs to be honed. It has also further emphasized on the importance of effective communication and highlighted the intricacies of it. For example, not only do verbal or non-verbal cues influence the communication pipeline, discerning intercultural behaviour is just as important for effective communication.
In retrospect, this module has offered me numerous ways to progress towards effective communication. Learning about effective communication and practicing it has been such a dynamic and enriching process. Blogging, blog responses, classroom interactions and written assignments encouraged me to move beyond my comfort zone and adopt new approaches towards effective communication. What is so fascinating about this module is that I have learnt quite a bit from my peers through their blog entries and how communication plays a part in our everyday life. However, I have to admit that responding to blogs wasn't the most exciting thing to do throughout this course. Yet, this seemingly cumbersome task compelled me to read critically and respond coherently to the blog posts using the 7Cs for effective communication.
As the module draws to a close, I would like to thank Ms Goh and all my classmates for a fruitful three-and-half months. The word 'professional' has a sense of serious decorum and blandness. However, this module is anything but. It has been an enjoyable experience - making new friends and taking home the many valuable skills of effective communication. Cheers!
