Communication and Self Efficacy
Effective communication skills are fundamental to success in many aspects of life. Many jobs require strong communication skills. People with good communication skills also usually enjoy better interpersonal relationships with friends and family.
Good communication can be thought of being built upon a strong sense of self efficacy. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments and exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment.
With a strong self-efficacy people can overcome great obstacles in achieving their goals and have high resilience to stress. People of high self-efficacy are able to visualise positive futures and act upon them to overcome doubts and set-backs to arrive at more successful outcome. Developing ways to perceive improvements in self-efficacy should provide a means to gauge progress in relating to others and achieving better work outcomes, which is an area of study incorporating positive psychology which would be interesting to explore further.
This provides the foundation of self confidence and self congruence behind effective communication and must be considered in the holistic context to develop an authentic and compelling voice.
Due to this importance these aspects are investigated first in the course and how creating progress within the other domains covered in the Life Development Certificate provide the foundation on which effective communication skills are built.
