"I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better." - Elon Musk
This final entry into my blog reflects on the 12 weeks course I've had on effective communication and my takeaway from it.
My goal at the start of this course was to be able to speak up and portray myself more confidently. While I did successfully reduce my stutters and usage of filler words, there is always room for improvement.
"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said" - Peter Drucker.
One particular aspect that I would like to improve on is my non verbal communication. Body language, be it eye contact, gestures or facial expressions, all plays a vital role in communication. From the feedback I've received, I lack eye contact, meaningful gestures, and always carry myself with a serious demeanor. I plan to improve on it by implementing the various body language into my everyday conversation.

Teamwork makes the dream work, making to the presentation showcase was nothing short of a dream. I learnt that there is only so much an individual is able to do, and without teamwork, real success is unattainable. I would like to express my gratitude for my team as well as Ms Lim for her endless support and guidance throughout the whole duration of the course. Although the course may be coming to an end, the communication techniques learnt from this course will be imprinted in me for the rest of my life.
