Reducing Communication Barrier and Misperception

Participant’s reflection on Communication Skills training 2020 batch 1
For me, Rivaldo Arinanda Padaka, Communication Skills is interesting to learn because it helps someone to develop the ability to express something in order to achieve a certain goal, or speaking to achieve the expected good results. My fear in communication are saying something wrong, not confident standing in front of the camera, and shy to speak in front of many people.
It is good occasion for me to take part in Communication Skills training held by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta which was useful for myself-development, after Multiculture training that I participated last March. In this training I found many things that had to be improved in communication, such as verbal graffiti, which had to be eliminated. For me, good public speaking is a systematic delivery of speech and to avoid others being bored to listen and able to convince others with simple and easy language to understand.
Next, I designed a video as a means to convey information to others for the common good by reducing the spread of Covid-19 virus in community, and by participating together to maintain health. In this online training and producing this video I was facilitated by Erik Poae and Thomas Yulianto from Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta team for one week and the content matched with my background in theology. I made a short reflectional video entitled "The Obedience in the Midst of Covid-19" that’s uploaded on YouTube channel of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta via the link https://youtu.be/Wj3nOp2R05c
This training is useful to form the correct way of communication delivered to public regarding pandemic and community obedient to the government's recommendations to overcome the spread of Covid-19. This is a shared responsibility for public good. Especially in this pandemic, there is a need for people who have speaking skills to convey a message well and to be easily understood.
Since now, I learn to improve communication skills through various communication media, to reduce communication barriers within myself and to reduce the misperception factor because of unclear ways of communication or low understanding on how to convey message especially when working at the church to deliver church service. Thank you Stube-HEMAT. (Rivaldo Arinanda Padaka)
