As explained in the video, no matter what position you hold in an organisation, you need to develop the foundational skills of communication. You have been learning these foundational skills since early childhood. And, they help you solve each and every problem in your professional journey, too. Let’s summarise some of the important points that Rakesh mentioned about each of these skills:

• Reading helps you derive a deeper insight into relevant topics. It helps your mind process each and every detail in the best possible manner.
• Writing assists you in articulating and briefing various details to your clients, customers and other stakeholders in the most appropriate manner. Ensure your writing is crisp, to the point and grammatically correct.
• Listening benefits you by calming your mind and helps you get a better understanding of topics and comprehend the details of any communication before responding.
• Speaking assists you in making the listener understand your point of view. At this stage, confidence and other cognitive skills come into play.
