Business communication, a third year course at business school. When I first enrolled in this course I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I thought to myself, “how can we have exams in this course?” When I read the outline I realized that most of this course was based on presentations and class participation. My immediate reaction on the first day of class was that this was going to be a piece of cake, little did I know this would become the course I had to put a lot of effort into. I always considered presentations to be my strong suite. This was mainly due to the fact that most of the presentations I was a part of were group presentations. These presentations became a part of my life since I was 15 years old. They ranged from 1 minute individual presentations called J.A.M (just a minute) to 1 hour-long group case-competitions between various high schools. Once I got into to Sauder I expected to give a lot of presentations. I was pretty nervous in my first year, not because of what I had to do but whom I had to do it in front of. People from all around the world surrounded me and the culture shock started to get me. Evidently I didn’t do as well as I thought in my first semester. However, I started getting used to people and started getting back into my groove. I was much better at presentations after my first semester since I knew what was expected out of me. Since then I have always had a script ready as well as speaker’s notes when I presented. Coming into this class
BC: is the safest function to use in order to minimize your e-mail from being sold by the Internet e-mail marketing.

“Although some practitioners see Wicca as the revival of an ancient tradition, it can also be described as a new religion focused on empowering women to create positive change. And although not all ecofeminists would characterize their movement as religious, it does have a spiritual dimension insofar as it holds the natural world to be sacred. All the movements and practices discussed here envision women as central; in addition, unlike many more traditional religions, none of them consider women to be evil or stupid. Yet no two of them see women in exactly the same way.”(Anderson, 295).
* The disadvantage of this is that written communication does not save upon the costs. It costs huge in terms of stationery and the manpower employed in writing/typing and making the leaflets.

#Metoo. I am also a victim. I was sexually abuse when I was 4 years old and for many years I was disgusted with that part of myself for “letting it happen”. But no more, I don’t want to reject my identity as a survivor anymore; I want to embrace it. I don’t want it continue consuming my life through depression or anxiety.
Effective Business Communication requires order, accuracy, organization, and significance. When the Business Communication class began, I felt that I communicate effectively in my current job. I learned some new ideas and practices that I will incorporate into my work. I also discovered some new ideas that I will use in future positions I hope to attain. “No matter what job you have in life, your success will be determined 5% by your academic credentials, 15% by your professional experiences, and 80% by your communication skills.” -Author Unknown
In addition, before I would present I had a constant fear that I would mess up on the presentation. For example, I felt as though I would be intimidated, stutter, or even start to blush. However, after my second presentation I started fixing my mistakes, speak longer, and was able to make myself comfortable. Speaking to students about a field I knew about made it seem as though I were presenting for a company. Even though, the scenario was completely different, the structure of presenting in front of students is the same as performing towards workers from a

Business communication requires avenues through which leaders, management, and workers communicate. It also requires the communication process between an organization and its partners, as well as the customers. In business communication, it is vital for an organization to develop a communication channel that is not only efficient and effective, but one that relays positive messages. Positive messages are crucial in developing good relationships with the employees, business partners, and customers. Research shows that we actually comprehend a positive statement 30 to 40 percent faster than we do a negative statement, our mind literally has to unscramble negative messages to determine the meaning (Simoneaux &Stroud, 2014). There is a power in using positive messages, a strategy in building relationships and producing positive results. When using positive messaging it is beneficial to use the 5 S’s, and goodwill messaging. The 5 S’s are; selfless, specific, sincere, spontaneous, and short. This paper looks into the effects of positive messaging, with an emphasis on goodwill messages, and the 5 S’s.

This essay will examine what business communication skills is needed for the process of graduating in Westminster Business School, while giving recommendations in studying
Anxiety, the first feeling that hits me when the word “presentation” or “speech” is said, following that, is an overall feeling of dread when I realize that until after the project has been presented, I will need to trudge myself through thick, globs of stress and anxiety to cross over to the next set of presentations. Junior year was evidently the most convenient time for teachers to place such globs of stress and anxiety, as they appeared in a bizarre abundance. It is not as if I did badly on presentations, on the contrary I almost always received good
The danger is that intercultural contact without intercultural communication training may encourage prejudices and stereotypes among university students interacting with students from other cultures. This danger was explored by Spencer-Rodgers and McGovern (2002) who reported that U.S.-born university stu-dents felt negative prejudice toward foreign students, including feeling “uncomfort-able, impatient, and frustrated when encountering communication difficulties with the international students on their campuses” (p. 623). Increased amounts of intercultural contact alone did not work to reduce these negative feelings.
The European Union is a group of democratic countries, which was founded in 1957, with 6 countries signing the Treaty of Rome. (Roberts et.al, 2008). It was to increase economic prosperity and contribute to an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe and committed to working together e.g. shared currency, financial management, legislative, judicial and executive bodies, regulatory and planning bodies. The main objectives of the EU was to create a unified business environment, the harmonization of company laws and taxation and the freedom of the movement of capital which is closely related to bringing company law of member states into closer agreement. Moreover, The EU set directives for the countries to follow in an attempt to harmonize accounting practices. The two main directives are the fourth directive and the seventh directive, which we will discuss below.
