Yes, so the last experience that I had with this topic, I had my friend to improve his communication skills. So he was a student and searching for a new job. So I just remarked that he didn’t really do well in the communication side. And I tried to coach him to improve his communication. Because for me communication is really a huge skill that allowed everyone of us on the both side or professional life to have a strong skill, very useful. So I am coaching him to… Don’t be afraid to speak confidently with using some tools and techniques that make his communication more fluent and showing more confidence when he is speaking. The difficulty I had that usually people they are afraid about speaking in public or speaking with strangers people. So being shy sometimes. So it’s the emotional side that we can handle and also to be sometimes a little bit stressful and stressed when we speak to strangers. So how to handle all this step by step to get a good result. And it was really useful for him because step by step he gets to the next level of communication and he felt more confident when he was speaking and I think it was very helpful for him to passing his interviews in job interviews for example or to get a new job and it was a good thing for him.

Yes, so the last experience I had with this topic was helping my friend improve his communication skills. He was a student searching for a new job, and I noticed that he didn't do well in the communication aspect. I tried to coach him to enhance his communication because, for me, communication is a crucial skill that allows all of us, in both personal and professional life, to have a strong advantage. I coached him to not be afraid to speak confidently, using some tools and techniques to make his communication more fluent and to show more confidence when he spoke. The difficulty I encountered was that many people are afraid of speaking in public or with strangers, often feeling shy. It's the emotional side that we need to manage, and there can also be stress when speaking to unfamiliar people. So, we worked on handling all these aspects step by step to achieve a good result. It was really beneficial for him because, gradually, he reached the next level of communication and felt more confident when speaking. I think it was very helpful for him in passing job interviews, for example, and it was a positive outcome for him.
