Assessing Communication Skills Analysis

General Assessments of my communication skills and competencies

When assessing my communication skills and competencies I consider my performance and persuasiveness as a communicator to be mediocre level. In the scale 1-10 (poor to great), I would rank myself at 6, because I clearly see some areas to develop in my communications. My strength as a communicator is that I am having a relatively good routine to communicate in different venues. I usually do not stress the presentations and communication events so that will make it possible to focus on delivering the message I want to do. Also, I see as my strength that I try to continually develop how I communicate and deliver presentations in a way that the indented message is delivered to the

Also, If I feel that the other side is not understanding the point of my communication I might end up to clarify my point by theory to show that I have a solid base of my message. This is something that I have received some feedback since people see me as too theoretical and consult minded (you are not talking our language).

• But in the openness, my peers see that I could do better. Most rank my performance as average (3) or above and that is well in line with open feedback.

The open feedback explains that since I base my communication on facts and evidence that has the impact to the trust and credibility. The feedback also indicates that I am open for dialogue with various topics, but can be seen sometimes too “theoretic/academic” by others.

As a summary, I believe that my peer's evaluation is quite well in line with my own assessment and by combining the two assessments, there is a good foundation to identify the needed development areas to work with.
