being a good communicator is essential

[PG1995]

Hi

I need your advice. As you know being a good communicator is essential for every job these days. What is unfortunate is that in many
universities little importance is given to cultivate skills in the students which make them good communicator. This is more true of the area where I live. I have seen many students who have degrees but they are not good at communication. I, myself, am also not a good communicator. I'm sure many of them would be good in their respective technological fields. But a poor communicator person is like a computer which can be helpful but don't know how to express itself. And further one shouldn't blame them for being a bad communicator. The
problem is multi-dimensional. Some of them come from backgrounds which don't give them much opportunity to improve themselves 'culturally'.

Please also have a look here.

What can I do to make myself a good communicator? Are there any books which can recommend? Please help me. Thanks.

Regards
PG

See if you can talk about anything in front of a full length mirror facing yourself..

If you can do it , then you are a good communicator... See if you speak fluently and can understand what you say in front of mirror...
