The quicker you can learn and hone this skill, the more you will see an improvement in your career opportunities. You will have many types of conversations in your career that pull you outside of your comfort zone: missed deadlines, upset customer(s), firing/being fired, and so on.

Know there's a time and a place to discuss items as well as ways to deliver messages.

Ensure that when you're communicating, you're doing so with purpose don't talk just to hear yourself talk.

Not all communication is verbal be aware of non-verbal cues like posture, facial features, and body language.

Communication is a two-way street if you talk and don't listen, you're not communicating You have two ears and one mouth, listen twice as hard as you speak.There are many aspects to communication and I'm not an expert in all the concepts or theories, but here are things you should focus on when communicating:

Knowing how to get your message across to the recipient is first and foremost the most critical transferable skill you can have.

My goal is to use some personal examples to give you an idea as to how you can apply these concepts in your personal and professional lives.

They focus more on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) instead of you Intelligence Quotient (IQ).

Do not require any type of formal education.

Apply to many aspects of life, not just your professional career.

A quick refresher of what transferable skills are: I won't bore you with the details of my ~17-year journey from where I started to where I am now, but I will tell you the transferable skills that I learned as a busboy have traveled with me every step of my professional career. This never sat well with me since I always thought I worked with some extremely talented people. As I grew within the restaurant world, I was surrounded by people that said they were 'stuck' since that's all they knew, or they would be doing this the rest of their lives because they had 'no skills'. What was quickly drilled into my head though was that I had a lot more on my figurative plate than just that. My job responsibilities were simple: clean (bus) dirty tables and deliver food.

These, as is natural, are of the most diverse, and in part obscure, origin.My first full time job was 'Busboy / Food Runner' at a local restaurant. A noticable number of the modern words for 'boy', 'girl', and 'child' were originally colloquial nicknames, derogatory or whimsical, in part endearing, and finally commonplace. Boy-crazy 'eager to associate with males' is from 1923. Boy-meets-girl 'typical of a conventional romance' is from 1945 the phrase itself is from 1934 as a dramatic formula. Emphatic exclamation oh, boy is attested by 1917. 1600.Įxtended form boyo is attested from 1870. The meaning 'male negro slave or Asian personal servant of any age' attested from c. In some local uses 'a man,' without reference to age (OED lists 'in Cornwall, in Ireland, in the far West of the U.S.'). Used slightingly of young men in Middle English, also in familiar or contemptuous use of criminal toughs or men in the armed services. ModE boy looks like a semantic blend of an onomatopoeic word for an evil spirit ( *boi) and a baby word for 'brother' ( *bo). ME boi meant 'churl, servant' and (rarely) 'devil.' In texts, the meaning 'male child' does not antedate 1400. Another conjecture: In Old English, only the proper name Boia has been recorded. This suggests a gradational relationship to babe.

Possibly from Old French embuie 'one fettered,' from Vulgar Latin *imboiare, from Latin boia 'leg iron, yoke, leather collar,' from Greek boeiai dorai 'ox hides.' (Words for 'boy' double as 'servant, attendant' across the Indo-European map - compare Italian ragazzo, French garçon, Greek pais, Middle English knave, Old Church Slavonic otroku - and often it is difficult to say which meaning came first.)īut it also appears to be identical with East Frisian boi 'young gentleman,' and perhaps with Dutch boef 'knave,' from Middle Dutch boeve, perhaps from Middle Low German buobe. as 'male child before puberty' (possibly extended from the 'urchin' sense). 1300, 'rascal, ruffian, knave urchin,' mid-14c. Mid-13c., boie 'servant, commoner, knave' (generally young and male) c.
