See if your school offers a technical writing course, or something similar in your major.

As for oral skills, take a speech class, or find out if there’s a Toastmaster’s club in your area. Toastmasters is an international club dedicated to helping people improve their speaking and presentation skills. There’s probably a club at your school, or nearby.

I am doing an essay about communication skills. I know it may sound dumb, but I need to come up with a 750 word essay! Please help.

Some of the complications that could arise are someone misunderstanding what you’re trying to say, having to repeat yourself, having to rephrase what you say, not being able to get your point across or the image of poor social skills.

The perfect example that you could write your paper on is the whole "Who’s on first?" comedy schtick done by Abbot and Costello. Here’s a link to the entire transcript of their routine: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml

Mostly I deals with customers; however, I’m so poor at communication. Most of the time, I ask them about their weekends, their days, talked about the weather. While my other co-workers could talk to the customers about many things. I was wondering….if there is any books that could help communicate better with everyone, not just my customers. Other people could talk about anything and many topics, but I feel that I don’t have any topic to discuss about.

Is there any book that can help me to improve the people skills? communication skills?

I’m now in the older classes (grade 10) and Me and a friend have to organise a 2 hour activity to help grade sevens from the same program develop communication skills. The activity is gonna take place at a hotel thigy in the middle of nowhere so it can be inside, outside, in the woods, in a pool, in a lake, etc.

Any Ideas????

Please!

Just read books to them. That should help…

I been given positions in life where I have to be a man, and I really don’t have much expierience doing this, so what are the best ways to help me deal with people?

Be Yourself. :) This will allow others to do the same…. :) Putting on an act or a front means that you will have to continue this act, which is extremely exhausting and harmful to relationships.

Just be You. It’s great for your health. Being Yourself is a rare species today. :)

Bad communication (oral):
Not being able to express yourself well
Poor public speaking skills
Lack of leadership/management opportunities
Losing money from not getting jobs (interviews) or promoted
Cause relationship problems
People aren’t mind readers so you have to commuicate
Must have good eye contact with those you speak with
Must have good nonverbals like hand gestures, pitch. volume
