Document Summary
Conversational skills, ranging from the light hearted to the heavy (e. g. telling a parent their child is dying; providing support in a health environment). Communication is essential in both regular professional roles and personal life. Think about the kinds of communication that will be involved within the working role, and depending on the profession, the kinds of things that would be required of you in relation to communication skills. Reflect on the importance of keeping constant communication whether or not you are able to physically speak. Constant communication with other people helps keeps the suffering of solitude away. An example may be the non-verbal communication between prisoners through developing morse code by tapping through walls to maintain a sane connection and keeping strength. A lack of communication and social relationships jeopardizes coronary health to such an extent that rivals cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, and a lack of physical activity.
