ensures a better career in today’s competitive
environment. The world of business, industry and education is becoming increasingly competitive. This is because of the fast rate of change taking place in all technologies and methodologies. Information Technology (IT) particularly is becoming rapidly more and more relevant to almost all aspects of these sectors. The world of IT is rapidly moving towards the integration (convergence) of Computers, Communication, Contents and Broadcasting. Applications based on IT are becoming increasingly multi-disciplinary in nature calling for the expertise of IT specialists and other subject specialists. In various fields, career prospects are becoming both national and global. Due to increasing complexity of the job environment, applications, tools and technologies deployed, there is increasing emphasis on team approach to problem solving, closer senior management and client interaction to facilitate decision making etc. Brainstorming techniques are also becoming popular as effective tools in management problem resolution. Good communication and inter-personal skills are becoming essential skills in ensuring good careers, in addition to professional qualifications and experience in various walks of life. Acquisition of such skills should also form an essential ingredient of one's education. Good oral and written communication skills will be of value in the competitive workspace. This should be considered as part of one's continuing education. Like other skills, communication skills can be acquired. According to Dale Carnegie, the eminent American public speaking trainer, "The ability to conquer nervousness and speak with self-confidence is not difficult to acquire. It is not a gift endowed by Providence on only a few rarely endowed individuals. Everyone can develop his / her own capacity if he / she has sufficient desire to do so."Overcoming
