      Professionally, employers desire employees with good communication skills, and employees who have good listening skills are more likely to get promoted.

      Communicating is part of life, if a customer comes up to an employee and asks where something is and the response is just a shrug of the shoulders or a quite whisper of a voice the customer is going to consider that rude and disrespectful. Along with the employer because they could be losing a customer. Showing effort and drive helps with promotions and also could lead to connections that could help you in the future.

      My students often remark that they already know from experience much of what’s discussed in the interpersonal unit of the course. While we do learn from experience, until we learn specific vocabulary and develop foundational knowledge of communication concepts and theories, we do not have the tools needed to make sense of these experiences. Just having a vocabulary to name the communication phenomena in our lives increases our ability to consciously alter our communication to achieve our goals, avoid miscommunication, and analyze and learn from our inevitable mistakes

      I agree with this I remember when I was just a little kid, I would help my Dad do refrigeration repairs. I did learn from experience how to fix and repair different types of units but I eventually needed my licenses which involved a test and to have the knowledge of specific vocabulary. Over all they both go hand in hand.

    1.4: Communication Competence

      Remember, you are not alone. Public speaking anxiety is common, so don’t ignore it—confront it.

      More people than you would think have anxiety and even social anxiety. I also don't think having any kind of anxiety wither it be personal or public speaking comes from genetics. My reasoning is all my family is quiet except for me until you get them talking about a subject they know or are interested in. So being prepared is a helpful way to get over anxiety.

      Before you have built up a rich cognitive knowledge base of communication concepts and practiced and reflected on skills in a particular area, you may exhibit unconscious incompetence, which means you are not even aware that you are communicating in an incompetent manner.

      This can also apply to a person who just started a new job. What I have experienced is when a new employee will just stand around and not seek information or direction. Even if they had a similar role or their resume indicated they have the knowledge sometimes the new employee "exhibits unconscious incompetence."

      Decades of research conducted by communication scholars shows that communication apprehension is common among college students (Priem & Solomon, 2009). Communication apprehension (CA) is fear or anxiety experienced by a person due to actual or imagined communication with another person or persons. CA includes multiple forms of communication, not just public speaking.

      I agree with this statement, I also think it has to do with someone being well prepared on the knowledge of their topic they are speaking on. I'm not a shy person, but if i don't know information i'm supposed to be talking about I know i would g et bad anxiety.
