Critical Reflection

Module Other than what I have shared in class, I was also able to learn more about presentation skills through this module. One of the polytechnic modules did teach us basic presentation skills such as engaging in eye contact with the audience, but they did not teach us skills such as the effective use of space during presentations. Thus, I was always quite stiff during my presentation. In my formal letter, I have also mentioned that one of my weaknesses is that I have stage fright.

Instructional Unit 1, Task 5.2- Soul of Communication

In the excerpt from “Critical Thinking: The Soul of Effective Communication” (2014), having good communication skills are important in the workplace. Poor communication skills bring a loss to the organisation. Employee engagement and attrition are also connected to poor communication.  Following this, the article mentioned that critical thinking is the most essential part of effective communication. I do agree with it. As stated in the article, if we process and understand the information before sharing it, the receiver will have a clearer idea. Critical thinking skills aid in problem-solving. As a future leader in my workplace, critical thinking skills will be able to help me think logically, present strong reasoning, and build a cohesive argument. With critical thinking skills and effective communication, uncertainties in communication can also be removed. In addition, I think that it is equally important for the employees to have critical thinking skills as well. With critical think
