💡 What is communication?

Communication is a talent under the Influencing group in CliftonStrengths.

People with strong Communication skills have an easy time translating ideas into words. They are engaging conversationalists and good speakers and presenters.

With Communication, you know how to turn dry data into vivid stories . You believe that people are easily overwhelmed by information, but a good, short message with the right keywords can be remembered and spread for a long time . This is why you love rich words, metaphors and inspiring stories.

✨ The Power of Communication

When used properly, Communication can become a “superpower” that helps you:

Present your message clearly and easily understood.
Connect with others through words, creating a sense of closeness.
Turn data and events into memorable stories.

⚠️ Blind Spots - Blind spots to avoid

Communication is great, but if you're not careful, you can fall into some “traps”:

Avoid rambling: rambling on too long can be distracting, especially without a clear purpose.
Don't just "talk well" without "telling the truth": without evidence or data, the message can be considered empty.
Don't “monologue”: always leave room for interaction – questions, discussions or short responses.

🛠️ How to hone your Communication

You can start with simple things:

Turn data into stories: Use metaphors, concrete examples, or illustrations to transform dry information into something easy to understand and remember.
After each presentation, provide 3–5 key words or short “take-aways” that are easy for listeners to grasp and share.
Record or livestream your speech, then listen back to identify which parts are most “catchy” and reuse them.

💡 This is just a small part of how to develop Communication . In Vietnam Strengths Academy's workshops, you will be equipped with specific methods to maximize Communication and other talents.
