Improve more about your communication skills both in writing and speaking. these two are part of
the essential ingredients to effectively communicate, and be more clear when pronouncing words
because no one wants to listen to a person they don’t understand. And always remember dear that in

Noise, jargon words, different point of view are the usual barriers I’ve experienced. But At this time

The” understanding,” in listening the listener will understand and interpret the message while in
hearing, you will just hear but there will be no response in terms of understanding and interpreting
