What Is Communication Skill?
Communication skill is the ability to exchange information and meaning effectively with other people. It includes more than speaking.
Relevant components
Listening; questioning; writing; speaking; explaining; reading cues; adapting language; giving feedback; receiving feedback; confirming understanding.
Effective communication is partly about the message
And partly about whether the other person can understand and use it. A technical expert may need to explain a complex issue to a non-technical audience without losing the important meaning.
The key principle
Strong communication involves audience awareness, not simply vocabulary.
A skill can be developed. But understanding how a capability connects with your natural gifts, values, and possible career direction can make development more intentional.
