Before anything else, I would describe myself as a great listener. Life taught me that in both personal and professional relationships, listening is actually more important than talking. One has to listen to understand their colleagues, customers, business partners. And just when we understand them and their needs, we can deliver an excellent speech–be it a negotiation, sales talk, description of a problem, anything.
Judging by experience, I would say that my communication skills are very good. I have never had a problem with explaining things to my colleagues, with leading meetings at work, but also with hearing critical feedback, or with dealing with rejection. Certainly we should never be completely satisfied, and we should always strive to improve on our communication skills, since they are vital for each good manager. But I would still label my communication skills as very good.
