  AN INTRODUCTION Being ableto communicate effectively is the most important of all life skills. Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another. This may be vocally (using voice), written (using printed or digital media such as books, magazines, websites or emails), visually (using logos, maps, charts or graphs) or non-verbally (using body language, gestures and the tone and pitch of voice). How well this information is transmitted and received is a measure of whether your communication skills are good. We have all been developing our interpersonal skills since childhood, usually subconsciously. Interpersonal skills become so natural that we often take them for granted, never thinking about how we communicate with other people. The foundations for many other skills, however, are built on strong interpersonal skills, since these are relevant to our personal relationships, social affairs and professional lives.

  WHAT IS COMMUNICATION? Communicationis the act of transferring information from one place to another. Although this is a simple definition, when we think about how we may communicate, the subject becomes a lot more complex. There are various categories of communication and more than one may occur at any time. The different categories of communication are: • Spoken or Verbal Communication: face-to-face, telephone, radio or television and other media. • Non-Verbal Communication: body language, gestures, how we dress or act. • Written Communication: letters, e-mails, books, magazines, the Internet or via other media. • Visualizations: graphs and charts, maps, logos and other visualizations can communicate messages. The desired outcome or goal of any communication process is understanding. The process of interpersonal communication cannot be regarded as a phenomena which simply ‘happens’. Instead, it should be seen as a process where participants negotiate their role, whether consciously or unconsciously. Senders and recipients, or receivers, are of course both vital in communication. In face-to-face communication, the roles of the sender and receiver are not distinct, because both parties communicate in both directions, including in very subtle ways such as through eye-contact (or lack of) and general body language. There are many other subtle ways that we communicate (perhaps even unintentionally) with others. For example, the tone of our voice can give clues to our mood or emotional state, whilst hand signals or gestures can add to a spoken message. In written communication the sender and receiver are more distinct. Until recent times, a relatively small number of writers and publishers were very powerful when it came to communicating the written word. Today, we can all write and publish our ideas on the Internet, which has led to an explosion of information and communication possibilities.

From a business standpoint, all transactions result from communication. Good communication skills are essential to allow others and yourself to understand information more accurately and quickly.

In a 2016 Linkedin Survey conducted in the United States, communication topped the list of the most sought-after soft skills among employers. Good Communication Skills for a Great Career Succeeding in your career requires good communication skills. You need to know what you want and how you are going to attain it.

To do your job effectively, you have to discuss problems, request information, interact with others, and have good human relations skills – these are all part of having good communication skills. They help in being understood well and in helping understand the needs of those around you.

  Why Good CommunicationIs More Important Than Ever Before Communication is essential in all areas of business, from client relationships to branding and from team-building to productivity and efficiency. Right now, as the world navigates its way through a global health crisis, it’s safe to say communication has never been so important. The workplace is unrecognizable compared to only 12 months ago. Steering companies and starting new enterprises while ensuring a cohesive workforce in the aftermath of a global health crisis will require unmatched communication skills. Business leaders will need to reassure and motivate employees, connect with customers and communicate how their vision fits into the new normal. We take a closer look at why communication is so important, and how the Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Public Relations at EU Business School is designed to develop the skills and business personality needed to thrive in this new era. Modes of communication have changed and continue to change Communication today is much more technology-driven, with platforms to facilitate seamless communication regardless of time zone or location. But earlier this year, when millions were forced to work from home, digital platforms and collaboration tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams replaced the physical office. And, while digital platforms have their advantages, they can bring challenges as well. Without being able to see or read an individual’s body language, for example, it can be hard to determine the tone of a message or email.
