1.2.Personality development and communication skills
Personality is generally defined as the deeply ingrained and relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. In fact, when one refers to personality, it generally implies to all what is unique about an individual, the characteristics that makes one stand out in a crowd. But there are two factors which grow or make up a person’s personality. These are hereditary and environmental factors. But environment plays a more important role in personality development than hereditary factors. While classes and training programs can help one grow and develop each day, yet one can actually climb the personality ladder by being aware of the self, his environment and hereditary factors. What actually makes a good personality is positive thinking and accepting the good with the bad and vice versa. Developing a good personality without any negative tendencies, one needs some mantras to recite each day which actually tell upon a person’s personality later. For example, a person can repeat each and every day, “Every day is a new day”, “I am full of love today”, “I have faith in myself and others”, “I am an honest and sincere person” and “I will greet this day with love and my heart and failure can never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough”. These mantras are important to develop a person’s personality and without a good personality, there’s no use of communication skills.
Corporate English Training and Soft Skills
Corporate English Training (CET) is effective customized in-house English Training Courses and Workshops for the company staff. When it comes to training in corporate English there are two important aspects: Written English Skills and Spoken English Skills. Together, they make Communication Skills because one needs to communicate in written as well as spoken mode of communication. Corporate English itself has certain features which make it a distinctive type of English. For example, people don’t stand gender-specific language. One must finish what one has started.³ One should be direct and not mince words. In Corporate English Training, what we need most is Soft Skills. The driving force in every company is its employees. In order for employees to perform better, their trainings are conducted. Among these trainings soft skills are the most important. According to Human Resource heads of various leading enterprises, regular training in soft skills, helps the company as a whole, as the result of such a training is to motivate the staff members. Soft skill refers to self-management. Every employee has to be a qualified self-manager. The soft skills, are the essential skills required to make an individual and adept self-manager. Someone who can manage the self, and other selves in order to be able to perform above expectations, or at least at par; but definitely not below. The soft skills include courtesy, honesty, personal integrity, adaptability, Verbal Communication Skills, Team Skills, Written and Spoken Communication, Critical Thinking and Grooming.
In short, it is evident that Communication Skills is not one single skill rather it is a combination of many inter-related skills yoked together to achieve an end.
