Subject: My Communication Strengths, Weaknesses and Goal

Dear Ms. Lim,

I am Jason Huang, from Effective Communication Class03 and I am writing this email to introduce myself to you. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Upon graduating, I worked in the construction sector as a project engineer for nearly three years where I found my passion in building services and made up my mind to pursue a  bachelor degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services) offered by SIT.

One of the strengths I have in terms of communication is that I am a good listener, I would always listen first, breakdown and understand before I move on to comment on the idea or information the other party is trying to bring across. On the other hand, another strength of mine would be the ability to communicate with my peers or colleagues. Through my experience in school, work and community, I encountered several opportunities to communicate and interact with people that are with different backgrounds. For an example, liaising with project engineer from the other company.

However, public speaking has always been difficult for me as I tend to get nervous really easily and I would either speak too fast that the audience are unable to catch what I am actually saying or I would get tongue tied somewhere through the speech or presentation.

Last but not the least, my two goals for this module is to improve on the areas where I am weak at and also to learn and equip with new communication skills so I would be able to excel in school or even workplace in the near future.

Best regards,

Huang Ko-Yu, Jason
SIE2016-SEM03 Group 2

Reflection on mock presentation

After going through the mock presentation, I felt that I was very unprepared for it which I ended  I performed quite poorly. This leads realising that the messages I intended to bring across was not smoothly delivered and audience seemed puzzled as I spoke. I was unable to find the right choice of word for the context which resulting in shuttering here and there during the presentation. That has also disrupted the flow of my presentation and I noticed that the audience. Also, I had a tough time linking my points together and bring across to the audience. On the other hand, I think the overall impact was lacking as I was the first speaker for the team. The attention was not grabbed closely throughout the presentation. During the mock presentation, I covered the introduction, background and problem identified for the team. As I was underprepared for the mock presentation, the messages for the audience were not clearly delivered therefore the overall impact was poor. Besides, the...

Critical Reflection

When the trimester first kick-starts, the first assignment for the module is to write about my communication strengths, weaknesses and goals. I said to achieve two goals for myself, one is to improve on the areas where I am weak at while the other is to learn and equip with new communication skills that would enable myself to excel in school or even workplace in the near future. Throughout the 12 weeks of the trimester, I have really great exposure to different types of communication skills. Peer-teaching was the very first opportunity for me to work on what I said to achieve in the first assignment as public speaking/presentation skills have been one of the weakest communication skills I have. However, I ended up doing really poorly, the flow of the presentation was not smooth, the content was not well-organized and pronunciations were off at some points of time. I found myself fortunate enough receive constructive feedback from my professor, Ms. Lim and also some of my peers. Tho...
