General Assessments of my communication skills and competencies
When assessing my communication skills and competencies I consider my performance and persuasiveness as a communicator to be mediocre level. In the scale 1-10 (poor to great), I would rank myself at 6, because I clearly see some areas to develop in my communications. My strength as a communicator is that I am having a relatively good routine to communicate in different venues. I usually do not stress the presentations and communication events so that will make it possible to focus on delivering the message I want to do. Also, I see as my strength that I try to continually develop how I communicate and deliver presentations in a way that the indented message is delivered to the
