Evaluation Of Own Communication Skills

For this task I am going to assess my own communication skills and evaluate the factors that influenced how effective both my one-to-one and group interactions were. I am going to discuss my use of verbal, non-verbal, pace, tone, body language and language used.
For one-to-one interaction I participated in a game called guess who. Guess who is a game where you pick a famous person’s name and the other person playing with you needs to try and guess who it is by, only being able to ask questions that have answers of yes or no.
In this activity I used a few skills that were very useful. Good eye contact - this was an important skill because it showed that I was listening to my partner I also used good body language whilst I was doing this activity,

I used this skill effectively as I moved every time the name of a fruit was said that I was given. Another skill that I used was tone. I used this when I was in the middle on the circle that was formed by the members shouting out a fruit name, this was effective because I needed to use a good tone to make sure that the rest of the people was able to hear what fruit name I shouted out. These skills were the ones that I have already used before but I tried to use new skills especially for this game to make it more effective. I used pace as an effective skill in this activity, this skill worked effectively because I had to get to another chair as fast as I could. I also tried using good body language in this game to make it more effective because I needed to show to everyone else that I was willing to take part in the

I also used good tone of voice this was effective in the activity because people were able to hear me clearly when I had to shout out a number this skill was important to be able to do this activity successfully. My weakness were that I used too much eye contact, I was trying to give away to when someone was going to say a number. To make it better for next time I do this activity is to have more confidence in myself and not worry about making a mistake in the activity – saying the same number at the same time as someone else, which will meant doing the activity
