COMMUNICATION – A KEY TO SOFT SKILLS

COMMUNICATION  – A KEY TO SOFT SKILLS

Among all the soft skills  the most important is Communication Skills as adequate communication skills are a prerequisite for a range of other soft skills. Communication is a basic activity of human beings which is undertaken by us every moment apart from the time when we are sleeping. Even now while reading these lines you are indulged in communication.

It is so important that we can say that the foundation of our society, family, relationships and organisation is communication. Do you think we should study, learn and be trained in an activity which is so natural and obvious to us. The answer of this question is yes.
In support of this answer let’s discuss the story of Robinson Crusoe – a traveller who got trapped in a lonely island for 30 years. There was not a single human being with whom he could talk and when he came back to his country he was not able to speak as he forgot how to speak.

Thus, in order to become masters in soft skills first we have to get expertise in communication skills. Especially for a human being where we have to continuously communicate effectively with different type of people in our daily life
