Sample 1

Being a person who constantly looks for self-improvement, I regularly listen to pep talks and motivational podcasts, and whenever I get time to talk with someone who has a bottle of knowledge, I love to indulge in impressive discussions and conversations, so I have had many such conversations one of them is interesting and hence well mentioning.

So, I had this discussion with a motivational speaker named Andrew last month. The task was at a party where Andrew was one of the guests. It was my friend’s party, so I was organising it. What I talked about with Andrew was what one thing I need to do to gain success in life, and his impressive talk changed my perspective. So, before talking to him, I used to believe that I needed to do something regular or substantial to gain success. In contrast, he told me that the secret of success is consistency, which means if you have decided to do something, you need not be discouraged by the initial results.

Instead, our focus should be on consistency, so we achieve success if we do that regularly. Within 15 days, I got good results from Andrew’s advice because I wanted to start my digital marketing business, but rather than focus on the actions, I was gaining a lot of information that I didn’t have. It didn’t make sense, so after listening to Andrew, rather than acquiring information, I started working on that consistently daily. On the 10th day, I got my first client, which is how it worked, and I have more clients now. So this was an impressive talk. I had a meeting with Andrew, which changed my perspective regarding success.

Good communication skills at work are essential because they help you lead your career towards an impressive growth trajectory. Communication enables you to convey your ideas in a better way. On the contrary, if you’re good at your domain but do not have the soft skills to express your process. Then, you fall behind despite having an enhanced skill set.
