What are my communicative strengths and weaknesses?

My oral communication is usually loud and clear as I find that I practise good breathing and vocalisation techniques.

I'm weak at actively pronouncing words with ending consonant 'T', it has become habitual pronunciation that I omit the T, I would have to practise more in order not to appear unnatural when pronouncing.

I'm aware that I slouch occasionally, so I will tend to pay more attention to my posture and body language.

In terms of written communication, I am able to give short and precise writings to convey the message. However, at times, I may not put across the message with the correct address needed of the situation. I've learnt of this weakness during the course, and will be more alert when crafting letters and emails to use the appropriate tone and address. I find that I can also ask my colleagues to help me proof read my drafts to ensure that the correct tone is brought across to the party involved.
