clearThoughts - Express yourself more clearly, completely, and effectively
Improve your communication skill with help of clearThoughts
Communication is important, we make use of our communication skills on daily basis in our professional and personal life. While communicating with so many people throughout the day it is important that we express ourselves clearly so that there is no miscommunication and the listener understands what we are trying to convey.
Especially nowadays when many people are preferring for remote work it is sometimes difficult to convey our emotions to the listeners so if we describe what we are seeing, hearing, and feel we can get more empathy from listeners and Listeners can mentally reconstruct what the speaker is expressing.
The tools available for effective communication are very less and not many people make use of these tools, I want to make different tools that will help everyone to improve their communication skills.
What is clearThoughts
clearThoughts lets you verbalize your feelings in a productive way. It is important to figure out how to translate your emotions from a raw, unedited state into something productive that won’t hurt you or others around you. clearThoughts will serve as a guide to help you to learn to express your thoughts to the listeners according to what you think, feel, see or want.
Why use clearThoughts
There are folks who can express themselves quite well. They speak clearly and confidently. They can change your view quickly by the way they express themselves. These folks have executive presence and an incredible verbal brand. They’re assertive, yet warm. They can tell stories, answer difficult questions, and know how to say “no” without hurting anyone’s feelings. They can express themselves during tense meetings, interviews, and on stage.
clearThoughts will help you to improve your communication skill. In beginning, you may feel that expressing yourself using short sentences, many of the time this works fine. But in situations of change, ambiguity, conflict, or great emotional need our shorthand way of speaking may not work. clearThoughts will help you to train yourself for such situations.
Future development
I want to make clearThoughts more self-explanatory and interactive for the users. There are different techniques to express yourself, we have just used one technique in clearThoughts. I want to add more techniques that will help people to communicate effectively.
Journey while developing clearThoughts
I attended a series of training sessions on Consultant 101 and Effective communication. Many concepts discussed were new to me and I realized how important is it for every working professional to know about at least a few of the topics. So while exploring more I came across Seven Challenges site which gives different challenges to improve our communication skills. I referred to this challenge with the aim to create an interactive version of it.
During development, I got to explore and learned about planetscale, neuromorphism, sonarcloud and other things. I used React, Nodejs, and planetscale.
