The second concern on my personal development plan was my communication skills, as i have very low social skills i do find it hard to talk to new people and sometimes find it difficult to pronounce the words correctly, so i started to find this an issue due to the fact that my dream job as a teacher is addressing a class so they need to be able to understand me when i am talking to them and their parents or other members of staff.

The first thing i did was started to get sound cards to help me properly pronounce words i went through them every night before bed as i read up that you remember things more before you sleep, i also started to talk in front of a mirror to practice the vocal exercises and the movement of your mouth.
I also started to to talk more on the phone instead of phoning and messaging people as i need to get the confidence to talk more instead of hiding in front of a phone or monitor.
