Why I Am a Good Communicator.

More than anything in the world, I love to talk.

However, being a good communicator isn't merely about having a passion for speaking or being the loudest person in the room.

I was far from being able to express ideas well.

If the event organizer had had a gun, he might have used it!

Yet, in that very moment, I discovered a surprising thirst for public speaking.

Since it so happens that I really love to speak, I have to learn to do it well.

Once, during a psychology training, a speaker used the active listening technique on me.

That was the necessary first step before I could truly listen to anyone else.

That's when I finally discovered the purpose and value of real communication — the kind that leads to genuine understanding between people.

My journey into becoming a great communicator began with realizing how important it is to listen attentively before speaking.

Active listening became my cornerstone.

When I worked as an educational psychologist, I had to be a good communicator.

Here, being persuasive and good at influencing people has nothing to do with manipulation; it's about building trust.

I have consciously chosen to speak in «simple human language,» avoiding professional jargon.

I am verbose and garrulous by nature.

Learning English helps me a lot to become a good communicator.

It forces me to be more concise and coherent, stripping away filler words.

Because such words are difficult to memorize since they do not carry a meaning load.

Learning English makes my speech more coherent because I must think carefully to be understood.

I become very succinct when it comes to English translation: my brain mercilessly cuts up huge texts that I would most likely have said in Russian.

It cuts them down because it's too lazy to translate them.

And at the same time, I'm very worried that I can't speak as much as I want to in English yet but I am confident I will become fluent and, yes, even chatty!

My sense of humor is a key part of my communication.

Being able to use humor makes me an effective communicator.

It breaks the ice and helps people feel at ease.

Sincerity is my other key.

I believe that no matter how persuasive or eloquent a speech is, people will sense falseness if it's not genuine.

I am a good communicator because my greater goal—to be an effective psychologist—demands it.

Ultimately, I am becoming a good communicator because being an excellent psychologist is more important to me than my passion for talking.

I am a good communicator because I work on it every day.
