Individuals who have Communication as one of their strengths are great at conveying thoughts and words to explain, describe, host, speak in public, and write. They are great at storytelling, frequently use dramatic and powerful word combinations, and believe most people have a very short attention span. They want to capture an audience and leave a lasting impression.
This was the only strength that initially confused me, as I am not naturally an extrovert and am rarely the “life of the party.” However, that is not what the strength of Communication is describing. After further thought and introspection, I have come to see that I do possess the strength of Communication and use it in several areas of my life. The most obvious is this blog. I intentionally keep it succinct and am now consciously recognizing what I always subconsciously believed—that most people do, in fact, have a short attention span. I also am very careful about my word selection, particularly in a group setting. I often sense that most people are waiting for their turn to speak, so I make my comments direct and poignant.
And yes, I have no aversion to public speaking either.
