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. I tend to be softer during presentations and there were occurrences where I had to repeat my points multiple times.  Although my presentation was not as good as other classmates, I can say that the presentation I did that day was by far the best presentation that I have done. However, there is definitely room for improvement and it can be better. One of the things that I can improve on would be the effective use of space. During the presentation, I was quite stiff as I was standing still in one part of the

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.
